It Keeps crashing - Megatron - 2014-08-02
Hi, it seems more than half the time I go to play a movie or TV show it crashes...it buffers and plays the sound for a second (but no video) and then crashes (XBMC has stopped working... windows is checking for a solution). I am using Windows 7 64.
I don't know if it is just Gotham, i have tried 13...13.1 and now 13.2 beta (fresh installs) with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Nobody is going to be able to help you without a debug log (wiki)
RE: It Keeps crashing - Megatron - 2014-08-02
I don't know if I did it correctly, it gave me three links, Debug.XBMC.log ....debug XBMC old.log .....XBMC crash log
XBMC old log?

Im no expert but it looks like dxva is having issues, have you tried updating your gpu drivers? And not with ones from MS/windows update, but from amd?

hmmm funny I just updated the drivers like you recommended, now when I try a video it acts like it is going to crash like before..plays sound for a second but instead of crashing it just stops and when I click on the video again it plays fine.... Everything works fine after that... now it only does it on the first video I play when XBMC first starts up.
I'm gonna do a fresh install and see if it works fine now, updating the drivers definitely helped, thanks.

I reinstalled XBMC, it seems it still does it just for the first video I play when XBMC first starts up.
I click to play video, it plays audio of the video for a couple of seconds then stops....after that I can play what ever video without and more problems. (so far anyway)
At least it doesn't crash anymore, it's just a minor annoyance now.

Is there then a problem with amd drivers or gotham in general. I also have this problem, xbmc is crashing after some minutes into the movie. Then at the second try it works... But I don't have HD2/HD3 have another one...
