Sometimes when I start a movie, and sometimes when I stop one, XBMC totally locks up.
I haven't been able to figure out if any specific thing in a movie (like codec or something) makes this happen, but some movies are more prone to cause the problem than others. At other times, XBMC freezes when I press stop, or when a movie is finished and it should stop by itself.
Since xbmc doesn't actually crash, there's no crashlog I can look at.
I had the latest stable ppa until 10 minutes ago, and then there was absolutely no clues to what was happening when this went on, I even tried strace'ing it, and it was just frozen.
However, I just got the latest svn ppa installed, and now I get a windows saying "Busy...
Please wait" when a movie freezes at start up, and strace shows me that somethings happening (although what, I'm not sure).
Where can I even begin to search for the error here?
I've tried several different skins, and movies of all codecs seem to be affected, I don't really know how to move on from here..
