Anyway to detect if XBMC has locked up and to then restart it?
#7
No, wasn't sure it would have enough information. Probably should have. The log is being written to a RAM disk on /var/tmp as the root partition is on a compact flash drive so whatever was there is gone now.

I've updated the logging settings in advancedsettings.xml to contain debugging information so next time it happens I'll copy the log file to a permanent drive location via ssh and have a look.

Sorry this all seems arse about face. I'll try my best to provide information about why it's locking up, so the bigger problem can be resolved. For the moment I'm trying to get the HTPC robust enough that I can toss out the old XBox. It really is amazing how good the XBMC experience was on the XBox hardware after spending what seems like an eternity trying to get a similar level of experience on a Linux box - many of the issues completely unrelated to XBMC. If only the XBox could play HD Smile
