Full Version: [Apple TV] Random crashes while watching TV episodes

Hi all,

Hoping someone might be able to help me out, I've had a crashing problem appear (apparently for no reason) where TV episodes will freeze for 20-30 seconds then the buffering screen will appear and it will crash to the menu.

This happens intermittently, on Sunday I had no crashes at all, then on Monday I had crashes in almost every fine I watched. Some will be after 2 minutes, some after 30 minutes.

When this first appeared I had done nothing different, hadn't installed anything new and it wouldn't happen in the same spot on a file. Even stranger, it doesn't happen in movies! It's only on 720p files, 480p will play no problem.

I upgraded to the latest Dharma nightly to see if that would fix it but no joy. I've uploaded my crashlog, hopefully someone will be ale to tell me whats wrong.

ok, it's just got much, much worse. The Broadcom Crystal HD option has disappeared from the settings, I tried to reinstall it through launcher but the installer give "an error occurred" message, now xbmc crashes with an error 11 every time I try to play anything.

I've uploaded a new crashlog, any help would be appreciated.

crashing in postproc-51-x86-osx.so 0x1382beb4 postProcess_MMX2

do you have post processing turned on, should not under the AppleTV, it just does not have the CPU resources for post-processing.
Thanks Davilla, once I'm able to reinstall the Crystal HD driver I'll give that a go and see if it improves things
