Video playback error
#1
Hello together,
I have the following problem.

When I want to play a video from my directory /Volumes/External 500/Media/ nothing happens (see log). If tried often enough I get an error message in xbmc that directs me to the log file.

When I move the file to a folder inside /Volumes/External 500/Media/ (i.e. /Volumes/External 500/Media/wanderlust/) it works (see 2nd log)
http://pastebin.com/CLNVppTE (17:30:10) Working

I never noticed it because my downloads always went into a new folder inside /Volumes/External 500/Media/ every time. But recently I changed the downloads to insert the files directly to /Volumes/External 500/Media/.
Every file in /Volumes/External 500/Media/ is affected (flv, mkv, ...), only files in subfolders are playing.

I am not sure why that happens so I need some help to figure that out.

Regards
equi

Can you re-upload your debug logs with debugging turned on? (go to Settings/System/Debugging (wiki) and make sure "Enable debug logging" is turned on)

If I had to guess, though, maybe some kind of weird permissions error. I notice you're running OS X 10.8.0, which might have changed something on us. Our Mac OS X devs aren't likely to discuss anything with 10.8 yet, as they don't want to risk hurting their Apple Developer Membership by violating the NDA. Are you able to test it with 10.7 by any chance?

I'm running 10.6.8 (snow leopard) on this machine (Platform: Darwin OSX (10.8.0 i386, Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549)).).
Don't know why it shows 10.8 too.

whoops, yeah, 10.8 must be referring to Darwin

10.8.0 is 10.6.8. it's 10 matches to 10.6, the .8 is the version

so 10.7.4 osx would show 11.4.

Code:
22:37:32 T:2954420224   DEBUG: ScanForExternalSubtitles: Searching for subtitles...
22:37:32 T:2954420224   ERROR: staticThread - thread CDVDPlayer, Unhandled exception caught in thread process, attemping cleanup in OnExit

I would allways try to keep my movies in seperate folders. Because exactly of this. In your big media directory seems to be a wonky subtitle file or something else which is getting hit by the subtitle scanner and then the dvdplayer thread catches an exception.

Depending on the number of movies in that folder you will have a nice job to track down which file it is Wink

Thank you,
will stick to folders for now.
Maybe I find the culprit in the long run.
