XBMC is crashing when trying to advance to the next audio track. The command is coming from an IR remote. It is reproducible with any set of audio tracks in any window (home, music view, visualization, etc).

Relevant part of log:

Gonna need a backtrace as well. See, http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=34655

That's a bit much don't you think?

How about just providing the gdb output? Please check the thread on how to file a proper bug report.

A backtrace would surely help.

Got ahead of myself. ;-)

Hmm.. Looks like alsa issue (though, not according to backtrace). My guess is that since alsa is not able to open the file, this is not valid: m_codec->m_Channels.

So, how do you have your audio setup in XBMC? Anything custom in terms of alsa? Like .asoundrc?


Gonna need more details.

Thanks..

Disabling crossfading resolves the issue. I had it enabled for 3 seconds; as soon as I disabled it, track changes were normal.

XBMC:
Digital passthrough enabled for AC3/DTS.
Output to all speakers is disabled.
Output device is IEC958 (optical).

ALSA:
No .asoundrc.
Chipset is ALC885 using the hda-intel module.

Change output device back to default. The Passthrough Output Device should be iec958 but keep Audio Output Device to default.

See if that helps.

[Aron Parsons]

That fixed it. Thanks!

[tslayer]

You're welcome

I had the same issue I think.. months ago.

We should fail to crossfade in this case, rather than crashing??

[tslayer]

jmarshall,

Yeah.. Most likely!
