You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Recently installed XBMCbuntu and so far I love it. However, I have a movie that plays fine using VLC on my mac that causes XBMC to crash.

Crash Log (with debug logging enabled): http://paste.ubuntu.com/5606130/
mediainfo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5606143/
Distro: XBMCbuntu (Ubuntu 12.10) up-to-date as of 2013-03-11
XBMC package version: 2:12.0~git20130128.1315-frod
Architecture: i686
Install Method: From XBMCbuntu live CD
Problem: When I attempt to play the movie the marque in the corner spins for a bit, then it freezes, then the screen goes black, I see the old fashioned 'X' mouse cursor for a moment, then XBMC seems to restart (I'm back to the initial menu screen and the logs seems to have been rotated).

I also found this in ~/.xsession-errors:
Code:
XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
      after 238 requests (238 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Segmentation fault

As I mentioned, the file plays fine in VLC on my mac. What can I do to get XBMCbuntu to play the file? Thanks!
I installed gdb and here is the debug crash log with the stack trace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5606218/
After reviewing the stack trace, I tried turning off VDPAU acceleration (which seems to be where it was crashing) and it works!

Is this normal? Playback seems fine so I guess it is no big loss.

Unless anyone has additional info, please mark as solved.
Not really solved, as many people actually rely on vdpau for their video acceleration.
I agree... I would much prefer to enable the vdpau acceleration since I believe my nvidia geforce 8600 gt *should* be compatible.

Any ideas on how to debug furtherHuh
