Hi,

I didn't know if this is the correct forum to post in but it feels like the most appropriate somehow.

I've tried fixing my problem with xbmc crashing on startup, thus far I've isolated the problem to themoviedb.org scraper add-on. When it starts to scrape my movie folder (on an external hard drive, the files play just fine from "files" menu). I can get xbmc-live to start by removing the themoviedb related addons, but that is not the solution I'm looking for.

My system is a Asrock ION 330HT running Ubuntu 11.04 (2.6.38-8-generic x86_64) with xbmc compiled from GIT (20110613-e8alf30). I didn't know how to get the core and gdb working (tried the instructions but didn't work). I've tried myself to decode the debug logs but I have no idea what to look for (Don't see any unnecessary bad error codes).

xbmc_crashlog-20110613_174622 -> http://pastebin.com/YB8TUT6g
xbmc.log -> http://pastebin.com/p0pXrnaw
xbmc.old.log -> http://pastebin.com/QsPCx6hj

Great job everyone btw!

Whew, I was JUST going to post. Same thing with me. I was thinking that it was my DualAudio patch, but I compiled from master and crash.

Then I thought it might be since I just saved my old .xbmc folder, so I moved it and let it start one fresh (I did copy the sources.xml file over).

Same thing.

TV scanning crashes too.

Tried using the official repo IMDB scraper, same result.

I got GDB to attach:

I used this to attach: gdb --pid=`pidof xbmc.bin`

I have the same problem with the latest git, i thought it was because I moved to a central database model using mysql. good to know more people are having this issue not just me. hopefully there is a fast solution

[Henkske]

I got the same problem after i updated to svn from 11 june
Now im back to the 2nd of june and everything is ok

[HarryRosen]

how do you compile an older version?

[Halibutt]

Bump (same problem here, was about to post).
Cheers

[Henkske]

how do you compile an older version?

I dont know. I use the mario PPA and always make a complete backup before updating xbmc

[HarryRosen]

damm that sucks guess i gotta wait till they fix the latest git

[darkscout]

how do you compile an older version?

Check out an older version.

"git history" (or use the website) to see when stuff was submitted,

then "git checkout <really long hex string>".

If anyone is really bored you could narrow down what submit broke it.

--

You didn't even have to be really bored, just know what you were looking for.

The scraper abstraction merge is what killed it:

The one right before it works fine:

Here's the back trace (consequences will never be the same).

Are you familiar with how to compile from source?

Otherwise there is always: http://sshcs.com/xbmc/?mode=NSAC&AR=LN64

http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/11637

[HarryRosen]

I was following this thread on how to compile from git

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=89817

then ended up using the script that someone made which is basically the same thing.

but if you can help me compile the june 8th version from source that would be really helpful
