Returning to main menu crashing on Dharma - axel - 2010-12-20

Hi,

Today I updated my xbmc (9.x to latest Dharma release) from debian-multimedia repositories and I found that the navigation from menus (entering movies/tvshows...) is crashing xbmc when back to main menu. I mean, I can go to movies/tvshows, playback some of them, but returning back to main menu throws a crash.

Here is the crash log:

I am using debian/unstable, nvidia fx5200 agp, amd ahtlon xp 2600mhz & 2 gb ram

Feel free to request more information if required...

I also installed in my acer aspire one netbook (clean install, no previous videos/movies/tvshows library as in other) and crashes too

Install gdb and enable debug.

done (on aspire one netbook)

I still don't see the backtrace. Are you sure you installed gdb?

############### STACK TRACE #################
############# END STACK TRACE ###############

We should see the backtraces in between there.

yes, it's installed, maybe it's something related with my xbmc package (from debian-multimedia repositories). I'm looking for some details of package and I found that there is a main script (at /usr/bin/xbmc) calling the real binary (at /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin)


- tslayer - 2010-12-26

Try running xbmc.bin within gdb itself. That way you can get the backtrace.

sorry for delay, I was too busy last days, here is the full debug (with gdb backtrace)

Crash each time you return to main menu ?
Be sure to disable any fancy third party scripts like recently added and such.
You could also try to backup your guisettings.xml then delete it to se if that helps.

seems that bug is on "show recent added videos" (system skin preferences), if I disable the feature, don't crash every time on return to main menu. I will test some days with this option unchecked...

by the way, I don't installed this script manually (maybe was packaged with the version from repositories by the maintainer)
