eden freezes on video playback

I've been experiencing crashes right at the start of a video. (Also coming out of pauses, though much more rare). I'm pretty sure it started on the final RC for Eden, and it's been doing it ever since. Happens on all different kinds of files. I'll go to start a video, the audio will start fine, but the video freezes usually instantly, showing only a black screen. (The audio continues fine). Sometimes it may show a few frames of video, then freeze. (While the audio continues). I can't pause, stop, or do anything else in xbmc. Once I move my mouse and maybe click once, xbmc totally freezes (audio skips over a half second or less repeatedly) and then totally crashes.

Looking through the logs there are a bunch of next airing script errors that are unrelated.

You'll need to enable debugging and grab a new log. I'm not sure what skin you are using, but switch to the default skin for debugging purposes. I'd also disable all the extra add-ons when debugging as well.

with debugging on (that was with aeon nox and a few addon's turned on, i'll go get a 'clean' debug log now)

I turned everything off and the problem seems to have stopped... I'm going through each add-on to see if i can reproduce the problem. So far, Aeon Nox and Trakt seem be not be the cause.

Maybe I was wrong. It froze again when I enabled the NextAired add-on. I exited and reopened xbmc each time I enabled an add-on then waited a min or so for it to settle in before I started trying movies, then tv shows.

Enabled: Aeon Nox, Trakt, xmbc log uploader, Twit.tv. (Froze when I enabled NextAired)

Great. Just keep posting your results here to keep us informed.

It seems like NextAired is the problem. I enabled that one and it started reproducing the freezing problem.

Very interesting. Make sure it is repeatable.

I've experienced the same issue- temporary freezing with occasional crash at beginning of video playback, resolved with disabling NextAired
