Crash on playback (repeatable)
#1
Hi All

I have started getting some videos that are crashing the ATV2 back to main menu. These files play back fine using the same build of XBMC under windows.

syslog: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=10176
crash reporter: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=10177

Info:
Platform: AppleTV2
Version: 5.0.1 build 9a406a with 4.4.4 (3330)
XBMC: Official release XBMC 11.0 Git: 20120321-14feb09 (Compiled: Mar 21 2012)
Installed via nitoTv

This file crashes to ATV2 main menu within 2 minutes by just playing the file. Same file plays no issues on same build # of XBMC for windows.

Thx for the complete report. It crashes in ffmpeg. Could you test with a current nightly build (pre-frodo)? There won't be a bugfix release for 11.0 Eden - we focus on 12.0 Frodo (which will get bugfix releases again - so 12.1 and so on). We updated ffmpeg in current nightlies already. Would be nice to know if the problem is already fixed there.

OK well I couldn't find any Eden nightly builds so I just installed the lastest nightly build which was 12.0.0~alpha7. It crashed as soon as I selected my NAS drive. I tried alpha6 but same issue. I can access the NAS drive using Alpha 5 and the file plays back fine too so looks like that is fixed. The crash on alpha6/7 only happens when I try to access my NAS drive, windows PC shared drives work fine and the file plays back fine via that. I did have another weird problem with this drive a while ago which I never had any replies to (but just lived with it as I figured out the workaround) See my previous post from a while ago:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=135577

For now I'll stick with alpha5. On a side note I'm just setting up my dev environment so I can make some menu tweaks and hard code videos going straight to files (unless there's been any advances in http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=132536 ). I'm guessing the main repo source is frodo 12.x now?

Thanks

OK just an update on this. I've build my own alpha7 from the sources on the 8th october and it all seems good. I'll try the next monthly build when its up.

One thing I did notice is that if getting movie info, and the movie isn't found and the manual input screen comes up, there's no way to close the window. You basically have to enter something that it finds in the scrapers database before you can close the window.

Thanks
JC
