Full Version: XBMC crashes on startup consistantly

Hi, I am fairly new to posting errors on the site, and it seems pastebin is down at the moment. But the issue is that, since last night, XBMC refuses to open for more than about 5-10 seonds. It auto shuts down.

I opened the xbmc.log file to see if there are any fatals, and none are there, just a few errors (http://pastebin.com/PXD0aQZ5).

It has been crashing randomly over the last few weeks, but I put most of that down to me using Eden, which is stil in beta.

Any advice on how to solve this would be most appreciated.

My info is:
* Ubuntu 11.10
* Acer Revo
* XBMC Eden
* Data is coming from a NAS drive

Thankyou,
Dan
could either of you create a Debug Log?

you can enable debuglogging in .xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

(you need to create the file if it doesn't exist yet)

Code:
<advancedsettings>
    [b]<loglevel>1</loglevel>[/b]
</advancedsettings>
Okay, I appear to have fixed this now. I went into synaptic and had to force beta2 to be used. I was still on beta1. One I had done this for XBMC and XBMC-bin then all appears well so far.

Will update if it breaks again in the same way though. I will enable debuglogging anyway though, as get the feeling that it could be useful in the future.

I've been having XBMC crash on me a lot this past week, two or three times a day usually, but within the last hour it can't stay open for more than a minute before closing. I haven't done much tweaking with it other than adding videos to the library, though I've gone through and removed recently installed addons to see if anything changes and those don't appear to have any effect.

might be worth upgrading to xbmc b2, since you're still running a reasonably old pre-eden build.
I'm having the same issue on 2 of my boxes. My arch box is producing a crashlog (not 100% it's the same issue, but posting it anyway) http://pastebin.com/PusBbTLG and my other box which is running the same version of xbmc but on ubuntu 10.10 LTS is just exiting without producing a crashlog.

*edit* Fixed both problems by using the right git branch and recompiling.
I had the exact same problem. Suddenly it started crashing while starting to play videos, then when opening the app. Restarting the computer didn't help.

So I searched for autoexec.py to see if removing it would solve the problem.

The file path was (Mac OS) /Users/<user_name>/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata

In my case the problem was the gomiso add-on.

The content of the autoexec.py was:
Quote:import time
import xbmc
time.sleep(5) #gomiso
xbmc.executebuiltin("XBMC.RunScript(special://home/addons/script.gomiso/default.py,-startup)")

File deleted and problem solved!
