XBMC crashing on startup

OSX Version 10.6.8
Platform MacBook Pro
Install Method dmg
SVN Revision can't access as crashing on startup

Hey, so I'm fairly new to using xbmc, and have been going fine, but filling the cache frequently. In trying to allocate more RAM to it this evening, I created an advancedsettings.xml file and dropped it into the userdata directory for XBMC. Since making this change, the app crashes on startup, even though I have now removed the file (as there wasn't one at all before tonight.)

I have both the xbmc log file and the crash reporter file
xbmc log: http://pastebin.com/tNsmsPyM
crash report: http://pastebin.com/4iiLYUpP

I think that maybe a vital file has been renamed, but as I say I'm pretty new to this, so any help is much appreciated.

Thanks Big Grin

The advancedsettings.xml doesn't seem to be loading at all, so it might be unrelated to the crash. Try deleting XBMC and downloading it again from the website. The log is having lots of errors with internal files that are inside of XBMC.app, so maybe something went nuts there. A dev would probably know more, but in the meantime, it wouldn't hurt to try to redownload a fresh copy of XBMC.
