I have many problems with the latest Eden builds since weeks now. I think it is VDPAU related. Sometimes it just crashes (
http://pastebin.com/7Na6zBiQ). See the link for debug logging and stacktraces.
Sometimes I plays the sound but the skin/xbmc is still showing but without a background.
I tried a lot of stuff:
1. different nvidia driver version
2. all kinds of settings (including disabling or changing the audio and video sync setting)
3. disabling all kinds of none essentials stuff
It makes no difference. This post should I think concentrate on the crashes; again see this link:

Thanks for the logs. I am investigation those crashes.
Let me know if you want me to try any specific settings (eg sync audio video in multiple ways?).

Just wanted to throw a "me too" in here. Getting infrequent random crashes and also having the issue that sometimes when starting a video, the sound kicks in but the display never changes from the skin.
Ubuntu 11.10/Nvidia GT520/Eden git
Have tried different XBMC settings and different nvidia drivers.
I can post logs as well if needed.
Sure! but lets focus on the VDPAU related crashes here. I have more reasons for XBMC crashing...

Any idea when your pull request is gonna pull through?
I'm having a similar issue.
I build from source frequently. I can't say when this started to happen, but probably in the last 2-3 weeks.
I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on an i5-2500 with an NVIDIA video card.
XBMC Log
XBMC Crash log
I've configured XBMC with: ./configure --disable-pulse --disable-crystalhd --disable-vaapi
I do not have system sounds configured; ie, there is no ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf. Instead, I have a custom device / custom passthrough in XBMC set for: plughw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=7 to use HDMI audio to my receiver.
When I experience the problem, sound passes to the receiver & speakers no problem. However, XBMC video output freezes, somewhere between the video in question loading and the video selection screen.
It's possible to terminate xbmc.bin at this point and return to my desktop, but in my experience, if I go back in to XBMC I will continue to have the same problem, and a reboot is the only reliable way to continue viewing videos.

I did't say that this is already fixed. Some logs in this threads show a really weird bt. I don't know if those are reliable. Will keep you updated.
I have many crashlogs available if it's helpful. I also can reproduce the issue fairly frequently -- it happens only when opening a new media file. Playback once open (even pause/play) has no issues.
So the simple reproduction on my end is to open a video, stop, open a new one, etc.
do all of you have refresh rate switching on? this is when i have problems
All of my video settings are as vanilla as can be. The only one I have set is VDPAU. Shaders is set to automatic, and the sync refresh stuff is all unset.
I agree that for me turning of the sync or resolution change is not a fix..
