XBMC consistently crashing
#1
I have a Intel Mac Mini and XBMC Camelot is consistently crashing when I go to Movies.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Start XBMC Camelot.
2) Select Movies.
3) Observe the immediate crash or if XBMC doesn't immediately crash scroll through movies until it crashes.

I've troubleshooted this problem and it seems to happen on all skins. I am running Aeon but it also happens on both skins included with XBMC. I have blown away my XBMC User Settings and can still reproduce the problem. Any ideas?

BTW as improved as Camelot is this issue wasn't happening in Babylon. I have the latest Camelot downloadCsite from Jan 14th 2010.

More logs to follow.

Try disabling settings > video > "file lists" > "extract thumbnails and video info". You probably have some file in the list that ffmpeg isn't too keen on. If this resolves the problem please try to isolate the file, create a bug report on track and upload a sample.

Happens to me to. I have only had XBMC on my ATV for like 2 days now and i have just spent time trying to figure out issues with it.

Playback stutter and have crashed atleast ten times already. :/

That's a finder (frontrow) crash. XBMC is not running.

Maybe you have .DS_Store corrupted. Delete it and should work again.

Ah... so many responses while I was AFK. Ok so it looks like

/Volumes/Newertech miniStack V3/Movies/STARGATE_ULTIMATE_EDITION/STARGATE_ULTIMATE_EDITION.ISO

I'll follow the recommended procedure above on disabling "extract thumbnails".

Well XBMC has stopped crashing! althekiller thanks for the great suggestion. If ffmpeg is choking during scanning files to generate thumbnails maybe the process could be trapped and instead of throwing an exception it could fail quietly and log the issue.

What's the best way to get you the sample file? (It's pretty big.)

I could also run an ffmpeg command line if you could tell me what the command line should be. I can install ffmpeg on my mac and run some tests with ffmpeg if that would help. Next steps?

Thumb-gen should NOT be looking inside an ISO (STARGATE_ULTIMATE_EDITION.ISO).
