Full Version: Screensaver crashes XBMC 13 Alpha 3 when minimized

I'm using 13 Alpha 3 and whenever I minimize XBMC as soon as the built in screensaver turns on it causes XBMC to become unresponsive and the only way to close it is to force close via task manager. It does this every single time. The only way to stop XBMC from freezing when minimized is to turn off the screensaver.

We need a crash log too.
The crashlog is right there. That's everything that is in the log until I had to force close XBMC via task manager.
Is this happening to anyone else? There is another user with the same issue on the recent Nightlies.

Surely others are having this issue as well? It only happens when minimized and the XBMC screensaver turns on. Lets try to help them fix this guys... :\
Still happens in Alpha 4, anyone out there?
Yup, I'm having this issue. Alt tab out of XBMC to tinker with something (or start steam) and it locks up.
Issue still in the latest Nightlies. If screensaver is set to dim it works fine, if set to slideshow it crashes. You can test this by setting the screensaver to 1 minute, minimizing, and then after a minute XBMC will crash.
Full debug log from 13 Alpha 7. Includes time from starting XBMC until I have to force close it via task manager when it becomes unresponsive as soon as the screensaver is activated.

Screensaver is activated at line 451.
I think we could reproduce the problem but currently have no fix for it. Still waiting to hear from our gui guru.
