if the freeze does not happen with the default confluence skin, then it is the fault of whatever other skin you are using.
i always use confluence, and i use it on the news installs
i look on a terminal when i have freeze my cpus are at 35-45% used and memory is good ( i have 4go )

System -> Settings -> System: Turn on debug logging
Let it crash and give us the xbmc.log in your: /home/xbmc/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log

an easy way to do this on ubuntu is
Code:
sudo apt-get install pastebinit
cat /home/xbmc/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | pastebinit

Thread title says this is for AMD and nVidia. When I try to install xbmc and xbmc-bin on my nVidia system, I get told that I need fglrx installed. What gives?

Edit: Nevermind, I see that the eden build doesn't support VDPAU. Might want to make that clear in the title.

@mike08:
you have pulseaudio running, that can make severe trouble. Btw. this version looks like you built it from source, right? with pulseaudio enabled?

In your advancedsettings.xml change the DirtyRegion Method to 3 instead of 1.
And add (correctly into the structure of the xml):
Code:
<audio>
  <streamsilence>1</streamsilence>
</audio>

In the supplied log everything seems quite okay. In between accessing the Soundcards makes trouble, but perhaps this can be solved with the above xml.

So, just to make sure, this is with confluence skin? Aeon-Nox does sometimes just hang, when your go back from one menu to the other or press context menu in file browser, this is one of the reason everybody recommends the default skin for testing.

What makes me wonder: You have installed a whole lot of plugins.
hello fritsch

yes i use confluence skin
i have build xbmc with the repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-testing
maybe it's better i build another xbmc with repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba ?

i have changed the advancedsettings.xml and test a 1080p video and i have always freeze
i post my xbmc.log
thanks

@mike08:
Try:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio
sudo apt-get remove --purge libasound2-plugins libasound2-plugins:i386
sudo reboot

If the crashes are not gone, please also pastebin, the output of dmesg (dmesg | pastebinit) and also /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Just a quick one really.

I'm using the daily builds of XVBA and everything works perfect apart from if i enable viirtual blank sync in video output. If i do that i get slight screen tearing on playback.

Now as i've just upgraded from XBMCuntu eden to Frodo i'm not sure if there is something i missed. The playback without VB enabled works perfectly and its only very slight every 10 or so minutes with enabled. Have i missed something or is this the result of something not yet addressed ?

Nvidia drivers are OPenGL 3.3.0 Nvidia 280.13 and my card is a Geforce 210.

Any ideas ?
Disable composite in xorg to fix tearing, add the following to bottom of /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Code:
Section "Extensions"
        Option        "Composite"                "false"
EndSection

* un1versal shrugs

Perhaps there's something else that can be tweaked in xorg I see this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1683875 however idk what that changes in xorg because I dont use any type window manager (so I cant test) in Linux and xbmcbuntu uses something. so try and lemme now if any changes are made and what?
