Not sure if this is something specific to Windows but I recently upgraded XMBC to the latest 10.0 Dharma. Now it seems that XMBC becomes unresponsive very frequently, espcially when stopping then resuming the movie, then I have to terminate it from Task Manager. I had been using the older version without any problem. Does anyone run into the same issue?
Thanks,
Stanley

I haven't personally. See the link in my signature on how to post a windows related problem. That should tell you how to post a debug log. Then go ahead and post one, and we should be able to figure out the problem.

I found random videos were freezing the first time I played them, and I also had to use Task Manager to shutdown XBMC. I changed my HDMI Audio settings to Primary DirectSound, and so far that has fixed the problem. I previous had the audio output set to another driver.

XBMC 10.0 has been locking up while shutting down XBMC. I can play movies, but when I select Exit on the pop-up, it locks up. Running Windows XP with current updates.

I too have had more lockups than I can even recall using xbmc 10.0 and winXp sp3
Lockups when exiting using the built in exit button. Lockups when scraping movies. Lockups when a video addon is searching the net for its directory update. I think this particular lockup is do to a slow internet connection or a website being down.
I have had lockups starting XBMC, it will just hang and I have to go to task manager shut it down, and then restart it. Lockups when selecting a movie from the video add on and it just hangs and hangs with no mouse response. This is on all video addons I have tried. Once again I think a short glitch in internet or a website being down and it hangs the video addon.
Hibernate never works in full screen mode, but I realize this may be a OS problem. Hibernate does work in "windowed mode shown as a full screen window"
I really like XBMC and have learned to just put up with it, as being free software how can I complain to much? How many millions of time's has XP itself locked up and we all have paid a fortune for the OS?
