Everything in accordance with the HOWTO is at the bottom of this post including the debug logs.
I run a gigabit network with CAT6 Shielded cable run throughout the house.
I have a QNAP TS809U-RP NAS which stores my media.
I have multiple Windows Boxes and a Mac-Mini.
It seems that XBMC is constantly having issues with this Mac vs the Windows Boxes which never have any problems.
The lastest issue.
720p MKV file will not play on the MAC. I have a TS HDTV version that does.
As soon as I play either in Library or Video mode, XBMC immediately crashes. I have turned on debugging mode and crashed it however that doesn't help much since I don't know where the logs are kept on a Mac and cannot find that in the Wiki or anywhere else.
I have attempted to change video rendering to all settings. This did not help. The file crashes when played in XBMC on the Macintosh
The file plays perfectly in VLC on the MAC. The file plays perfectly in XBMC on my Windows boxes in two different versions of XBMC.
What can be the issue? Any ideas?
There doesn't seem to be any other problems with any other files. Just this one mkv file. I am out of ideas? Anyone?
Note: I did read a note where I downloaded the file from that there are some interlace problems with the audio if that helps.
