black screen if I select movie
#1
Hello now and then I get a black screen when selecting movies. Just have to reset the PC or ctrl,alt,del to go to taskmanager and then kill xbmc. I don't see anything special in the debug log.

Eden with HD patch, Aeon MQ3
W7 64bit German
AMD Radeon 12.3

About 200 movies on a NAS.

How could I find out what is causing this?

You can try to enable "Use a fullscreen window rather than a true fullscreen" in XBMC settings/system/video output.......

I refused to watch movie without bitstreaming HD audio!

I have disabled "Artist Slideshow" and now it doesn't hang with a black screen when selecting movies. Hope this was it, if not I will post a entire debug.log.

Thanks.

The problem was:

Code:
17:55:09 T:2628 ERROR: CThread::staticThread : Access violation at 0x00f72a1f: Reading location 0xff21211f

Something is crashing XBMC. However it isn't possible to tell what is crashing without a debug log.

I think it was "Artist Slideshow", don't have the black screen anymore - but why? Here a debug log, just a little bit earlier than the one above:

error is here:

Hello it is not the movie itself, just entering into MOVIES menu - then XBMC only shows a black screen.
