XBMC on RPI keeps rebooting after library update
#1
I have a problem with XBMC on my RPI.

I have a RPI (512MB) with OpenElec 3.0.3 and XBMC 12.2

The problem is that after a library update, my xbmc keeps rebooting. (after booting XBMC, the memory is draining fast from 382016 to 11xxxx KB) by 11 something XMBC reboots.
When i remove my movie library's DB the problem is solved.

After a clean install of openelec everything works fine. Then i add a video library path and tell XBMC to update it.
When the initial scanning is finished and i want to start a movie in the movie's menu.. xbmc reboots (and keeps rebooting from this point on)
When i delete my library again the rebooting stops.

I know that the problem has to do with the movie library because when i have removed the library and use XBMC to navigate to Video's->files-> "my movie location on my NAS" the movie plays perfectly and xbmc does not reboot.
so it has to do something with the library.

does anyone has a idea of what the problem here could be?
This is the full log: http://pastebin.com/HTpBQ1QT

Thx in advanced

There's probably a corrupt file it's scanning. ffmpeg seems to use an unbounded amount of memory when parsing a file it doesn't like.

On the Pi you should always disable "Extract thumbnail and video information"

From the log, it may be this file causing the problem:
The.Last.Stand.2013.1080p.BluRay.x264-MARKED.mkv

Thx for your quick reply.
XBMC is updating the library now. i removed the movie from your post. lets see if that works.
Your explanation sounds not so strange, because it is one of the last movies that i have added.

so i hope it works.

Check the mkv file with mkvmerge, I've seen an mkv that caused a crash, turned out the mkv included some weird attachments - removed them, and no more problems.
