Hey.
I have been struggling to get my lightweight XBMC-ubuntu to work properly for a few hours now (I hate PulseAudio, but i love the potential...). Basically ubuntu CLI + openbox + alsa + xbmc.

I have finally got the pass-through working, but I have one strange issue still. Every time a video file stops playing (end of film or me pressing stop) everything freezes up, and the only way out of it is to kill X.

I can't understand what is going on by reading the logs, can anyone of you see anything strange?

This is where it goes wrong (I think)...

BTW I'm using latest SVN from the PPAs, r23898.

It's a known issue, we're working on it. It's a deadlock introduced by r23898.

Same issue presents when starting playback with VDPAU enabled.

Fyi, fixed in r23910 and r23911, next ppa should contain the fixes.

I've try to generate core dump but without success.
I launch xbmc this manner :

Code:
~$ ulimit -c unlimited

~$ xbmc

then freezing it by doing stop in a movie.

then killing it :

Code:
killall -11 xbmc.bin

In the terminal which launched xbmc, I get :

Code:
WARNING: Unhandled message: interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable, path=/, member=Introspect

and ps a gives me :

Code:
4342 pts/0    Dl+   17:19 /usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin

complete xbmc.log file : http://pastebin.com/mda4f28c

Try to set the rendering to other than auto or VDPAU
it's found here system->Video->Playback

I tried GLSL.
Still crashing, but this time i have glowing colors on screen instead of movies images.
