When I add a video source to XMBC for linux and give it a name like...
X:\videos
XBMC crashes whenever I navigate back to the sources list.
So I have to edit the sources.xml file and remove the colon and it works.
Anyone else experience this?
Please see the sticky regarding posting problems in a useful manner.

I'm really not sure how to get all the logs...I'm looking into it. I just simply want to know if anyone else can put a colon in the name of a video source.
Using a colon in a share name with the Windows version has never given me a problem with any version.
Wow, nobody else knows about this issue....hmmm.
Nope, not able to reproduce. Please update and report back if the issue still exists.

Ok, it might not just be just a colon issue.
Here is my setup. I have a samba share on an XP machine (Sony Vaio). The drive is shared (mounted in windows as "X:").
So, in XBMC (linux) I add a new video source, browse the smb:\\ option and navigate to this drive (called X) and go in one sub directory (called media). so... X:\media is the actual path on the Windows machine and the Linux path is smb://VAIO/X/media/
I name the share in XBMC...
X:\media
As soon as I save it, it crashes.
If I just name a share...
whatever:whatever
it works.
I can even name it...
whatever:\whatever
and it works.
It seems to have a problem with naming it "X:\something" pointing to a samba share.
Very weird
A
Debug Log and crash report would be useful.
I couldn't get back to the gdb prompt...I hit return about a million times. The screen was just full of...
0x08525dff in CUtil::RemoveSlashAtEnd ()
I can't reproduce, but will see if I can figure out how CUtil::RemoveSlashAtEnd() can infinite loop.
EDIT: Your
Debug Log is useless - you didn't actually go in to setup a source during that session.
The only thing I can think of is that somehow something contains "://" yet is not a valid URL.
EDIT2: I've added some sanity checks to these functions which may fix the problem in r23959.

Thank you jmarshall,
I apologize if my
Debug Log was not helpful. I am trying my best. I'm just not an expert yet when it comes to the linux world.
Just for clarification ":/" would just be part of the name, not the url....but maybe my terminology is off. Also it's just one forward slash, not two.
