Hello,

I have noticed a problem with the recent 2 betas that I wanted to report.

Playback from the Library of ANY files hang for no apparent reason with no useful information in the debug log. I have provided logs for 2 MKVs but this happens no matter what I try to play. It always seems to hang after:

18:01:48 T:1456 M:2939822080 NOTICE: Creating Demuxer

and has this entry in the log when it does not work:

18:01:48 T:1624 M:2936983552 DEBUG: ------ Window Init (DialogBusy.xml) ------

The problem is on 2 machines (mSVR, mPC) using Dharma Beta 2 (SVN:33776)

Both PCs use Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit, have 4GB RAM and are fully patched
PC1:
mSVR: AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+
mSVR: ATI Radeon X1200 Series
Set up as a 'portable' install
PC2:
mPC: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz
mPC: NVidia GeGorce 8500GT
Set up as a standard install

I have tested the following on 21:
- Start XBMC
- Video->Files->Films-HD->21[Start] - Plays OK
- [Stop]
- Video->Files->Films-HD->21[Start] - Plays OK
- [Stop]
- Movies->Movies->Title->21[Start] - Hangs
- [Need to kill XBMC to get control of the PC back]

I have tested the following on IM2:
- Start XBMC
- Video->Files->Films-HD->IM2[Start] - Plays OK
- [Stop]
- Video->Files->Films-HD->IM2[Start] - Plays OK
- [Stop]
- Movies->Movies->Title->IM2[Start] - Hangs
- [Need to kill XBMC to get control of the PC back]

I have also tested the following but these are not in the log:

- Movies->Movies->Recently Added->IM2[Start] - Plays OK
- [Stop]

- Movies->Movies->Genres->Sci-Fi->IM2[Start] - Plays OK
- [Stop]

- Movies->Movies->Year->2010->IM2[Start] - Plays OK
- [Stop]

So... I'm pretty sure that this is a problem with the Movies Library (Title) section.

Logs and media-info as per 'Things we want from EVERY report'.

I managed to find another thread that described a similar problem.

Turning off "extract thumbnails and video information" resolves the problem.

same resolution here THANK YOU SO MUCH...why does that option stop playback on Movies Library, but not TV, on Start from Beginning but not Resume?

That is the problem with the OP - the file is corrupt. 99% of cases the file ends up being full of zeros (preallocated torrent download most likely).

In Dharma beta3, we will only lock up for 30 seconds max.

Cheers,
