I have been having this problem now for several weeks. Kept hoping that an svn update would fix it but it just gets worse. I have tried completely clearing xbmc and deleting my .xbmc folder but it does not resolve the issue.

I cannot now use xbmc as it crashes immediately on loading after the gui has loaded for a second. The output to the terminal is

PHP Code:

The XBMC_HOME environment variable is not set.
The XBMC_HOME environment variable is not set.
++ WARN: could not retrieve file info for `image.nrg': No such file or directory
++ WARN: can't open nrg image file image.nrg for reading 


The log is at http://pastebin.com/f47a42d1c

Backtrace is:

I am running 8.04 i686 fully updated

xbmc was built with the build.sh script and the version for this report is 13990 though this has been going on for a while (sorry cannot pinpoint what revision it started in)

Really want to get xbmc working again.

I moved this post since nothing in your logs or backtrace seem to have anything to do with thumbnail scanning.

That said, the console output is fine, the log is fine except for those few dll_ferror msgs at the end which aren't particularly useful, and I don't think the backtrace is actually the cause of the problem.

I'm going to recommend you "sudo make uninstall", delete you ~/.xbmc then install the PPA. If that works, you can either stick with the PPA or uninstall it then delete your source tree and recheckout the SVN repo.
