Hi

I used this script to build xbmc for opensuse 11.0, 64bit:
svn co https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot.../linuxport
cd linuxport/XBMC
make distclean
CFLAGS="-I/usr/lib64/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include"
export CFLAGS
./configure --enable-halmount --disable-pulse --prefix=/usr
CFLAGS="-I/usr/lib64/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include" make

This works fine until recent svn versions. As soon as I try to play mp3 or video files xbmc crashes and I only see strange things on tv. There is nothing in the log file:

in .xsession-errors I got this:
The XBMC_HOME environment variable is not set.
Creating link /var/autologin/.kde/socket-FILE.

CRITSEC[0x12308e8]: Trying to leave destroyed section.
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:996snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

Looks alittle bit strange to me because I'm not running kde or any displaymanager. I start xbmc wrong .xinitrc

Any idea what is wrong?

Should I try a beta nvidia driver? I still use 180.

I've just updated to nvidia driver 185. It still crashes.
This is the last output of the logfile:

I still can't understand the alsa errors because I can hear clicking noises when using the remote so alsa should work.

Any ideas?

Please follow the sticky titled "howto post problems in a useful manner". And quit pasting logs in the forums, there are sites for that (see aforementioned sticky).

OK

My system is:

Opensuse 11.0, x86_64
Nvidia 9500, driver 185.19
Kernel 2.6.28-default
Build svn version via own build script:
svn co https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svn...ches/linuxport
cd linuxport/XBMC
make distclean
CFLAGS="-I/usr/lib64/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include"
export CFLAGS
./configure --enable-halmount --disable-pulse --prefix=/usr
CFLAGS="-I/usr/lib64/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include" make

Related versions: I think every svn version since merge of vdpau.

Problem: As soon as I try to play any files (audio/video) xbmc crashes.
There is no sound output. Sometimes the screen is black execpt mouse coursor, sometimes it looks like the screen was splitted in squares which have been shuffeled.

It also crashes when screen resolution should be changed.

Crash Report: http://pastebin.com/m1096b1bd

I was having crashing problems when I tried to scan for new content at start up. I turned that off and it seems to have fixed it.

No, that didn't help

Now I have a complete crash log. I don't know why I didn't get it. I'm sorry about that.

I've started xbmc from console to get some output from stderr:
SEC[0x12309e8]: Trying to leave destroyed section.
CRITSEC[0x12308e8]: Trying to leave destroyed section.
CRITSEC[0x1232de0]: Trying to enter destroyed section.

Shouldn't be there funcion which have been called instead of ??

How can I get a segmentation fault when it us run on the same machine on which xbmc has been compiled?

You specified the wrong binary.

You need to use : /usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin

Not /usr/bin/xbmc

/usr/bin/xbmc is a hardlink isn't it?

I was able to get a little bit closer. The problem is related to the sound device.
I use an onboard hda card with 6ch analog output.
With r18029 of the vdpau branch I was able to use an analog device named "surround51" 2ch output was directed to all boxes and ac3 sound is working well.

When I try r19353 I can hear click noises from menu but as soon as I try to play a file I get "Failed to initialize audio hardware" popup. When I run artsd before xbmc the audio device seems to useable I get sound. Unfortunatly I always get a 2ch to 5.1ch upmix. When I try to play a ac3 sound onle left and right channel of the soundfile are mapped to all 5.1 speakers. I have an ac3 testfile. When the center speaker should make noise there is nothing.
With r19353 I have to use sounddevice "default". When I try surround51 I get an hardware error again.

I have to do more investigation to understand all of this ...

no, /usr/bin/xbmc is a sh script
