Update:
please see [LINUX] xbmc PRE-11.0 Git:50f0233, cannot unmount an usb stick after playing a file. for an updated version of this thread.

Problem: Cannot unmount a usb memory stick from where I played a media, a song, after I stopped playing.

Can unmount if xbmc is browsing only, eg. not playing anything.

Procedure followed, on xbmc-standalone up and running, Confluence skin.

1. enable debug log
   
2. Insert a usb stick
   
3. Select the just automounted device in 'Video > Files'.
   
4. Play a Video, stop playing with the usual commands,
   
5. backspace to the main Video > Files dialog, try to unmount via 'Context Menu > Remove safely' : removed, no problem.
   
6. Pull out and reinsert the usb stick,
   
7. Now select the just automounted device in 'Music > Files'.
   
8. Play a stream, stop playing with the usual commands,
   
9. backspace to the main Music > Files dialog, try to unmount via 'Context Menu > Remove safely' : no effect.
   
10. disable debug log.
    

Some more information:
Given mount usb stick point is:

Code:

xbmc@media-player:~/xbmc-git/xbmc$ mount
...
/dev/sdb1 on /media/usb-pen2 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)

it seems xbmc keeps a file opened even though the player is not working, preventing the unmount:

Code:

xbmc@media-player:~$ lsof /dev/sdb1
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF   NODE NAME
xbmc.bin 2028 xbmc   40r   REG   8,17  4236000 228409 /media/usb-pen2/home/beppe/Musica/BGA/TSOTTC.ogg

It appears the file is not released by xbmc, e.g. closed, and it seems to happen for audio files only.
I don't know if it happens for file types other than '.ogg'.
