Summary: This is an iMac that has successfully run XBMC in the past with two library directories: Movies and TV_Shows. The machine isn't used frequently, making it hard to pinpoint exactly when the problem arose. XBMC 13 had been working fine. Something that changed on the machine (without updating XBMC) caused it to crash every time a TV Show scan was started. The problem wasn't a priority to track down and persisted through several updates of both the OS and XBMC/Kodi. It's now become annoying enough to track down.
Details:
Problem: Kodi crashes when scanning TV_Show directory
Steps to reproduce the problem: Scan for new TV shows. Startup scan causes this crash, causing Kodi to never start unless I disable scanning on startup or the TV_Shows library item
OS X Version: Yosemite 10.10.5 (the problem occurred through several OS updates going back to at least Mavericks)
Platform: iMac 27" Mid 2012
Kodi version: 16.0.alpha4 (Git-20151101-7a58dcb) [problem started in XBMC 13 and persisted across stable Kodi versions 14 and 15]
Crash report: http://pastebin.com/xQDMy8X9
Kodi.log: http://pasted.co/6493bf8b
Kodi.old.log: http://pasted.co/5ba62a70
I think this is something I must have changed on the machine because it worked on one launch and then started failing the next launch without updating XBMC. I tried multiple versions of Kodi and did a complete uninstall using "AppZapper" which hunts down and deletes all related files. Both TV and Movie directories reside on the same Thecus NAS and are accessed in the OS X system via AFP. Although there are a lot of errors related to the MythTV PVR plugin, this began before I enabled that plugin. Disabling and uninstalling it had no effect on the problem.
Please let me know if I can provide more information to help squash this bug. We'd really like to be able to view TV Shows on this machine.
