XBMC crash on starting video
#1
I`ve just installed XBMC on my Debian Squeeze. Everything works fine except Video playback. Every time I try to play something it just crash with SIGSEGV.

Here is the crash log.

When I tried to play smaller file like 1,5M it worked perfectly Smile
Any ideas?

XBMC is trying to play the video using VDPAU, which is not supported by your graphics card. (Only newer cards have MPEG-4 VDPAU)

Does it play if you change the render setting in XBMC to Software?

You might want to install the latest stable nvidia drivers too.

After changing to Software it worked.

Anyway VDPAU should work for me:
GeForce 8600M GT

My drivers: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.42-pkg1.run

For me looks ok but maybe i need newer ones.

Your card supports vdpau for h264, vc1 and mpeg2, but not for mpeg-4.

The file should still play, since it should switch to non-vdpau playback automatically. Why it doesn't do that properly I don't know, but knowing what the problem is is a good start.
