I'm running XBMCbuntu Beta 3 and I've updated to RC2 through apt-get, however I've run into this problem often over the past year as I tried different versions of XBMC. I have run into a really frustrating problem where certain types of media (80% of my library really) will stop responding completely after the HTPC has been on for a little while (which I will refer to from this point on as the 'hump').
From what I can tell, it's affecting every piece of media in my library (Music and Video, networked or local) except for Hulu .strm files generated by that plugin. Those literally always work for some reason. Icelibrary .strm files, however, are affected in the same way as the other media. Even playing videos from a plugin like Giant Bomb or Aljazeera is affected.
After my HTPC hits this hump, selecting any of the mentioned media simply produces no result. The selection sounds play, but nothing happens at all. Plugins spit out script errors. Occasionally I'll get the "An item failed to play" popup. Icelibrary streams will initialize but spit out a script error in under a second.
AEverything spits out the same hilariously vague error, which I have isolated below:

I have no frigging clue what is setting off this error. As I mentioned, if I reboot the HTPC, everything plays fine - until I hit the hump again.
The only way I have found to reproduce this problem on the spot is with Icelibrary. If I boot up my HTPC fresh, everything works and I'll be able to watch 1-2 Icelibrary streams. After the secoond stream, I'm back in error land. Using other plugins/other media does not seem to set this problem off as often as Icelibrary does.
I'm at such a loss on what do do next. Anyone have any ideas?? What could possibly be causing my media playing ability to just drop out like this? Please help!
