nothing seems to be abnormal in the log, although I'm not really familiar with what I'm looking at.
I installed YATSE on a second machine and received the same errors.
Say you're browsing your music, you click an artist, the albums are listed. You decide its not the correct artist, how do you go back one screen? You have to go back to home, click on artists again.
I have profile switching mapped to the 'p' key. I have it on my logitech remote mapped to a 'profile' button, its very useful. Perhaps you could have a 'remote control' section that simply allows the user to send keystrokes to XBMC. Would be nice to have the up/down scrolling so I can actually use YATSE as a remote control. Look at the XBMC remote for WEB-OS, that is a very good example of a touch-screen friendly remote control interface. Ideally, on the home page, I could add profiles the same as adding servers. Would just need to add a 'profile' box in the add server dialog, and I would add the same server twice, once for each profile.
AND I have to bitch again about the touch-screen scrolling. IMO there has to be a way to make it work properly. I talked to you previously about chrome-touch, it is a touchscreen scrolling addon for google chrome. Its just an example, but this is the kind of scrolling we need in this program. I have installed that addon on multiple machines in resolutions from 800x480 up to 1900x1600, with all manners of touchscreen controllers, without any issue whatsoever. It gives you a few parameters, and once tuned, it works for everyone. I just don't understand why its so difficult to implement in this program? The user puts his finger down, you 'grab' that pixel. The user moves that pixel over how ever many pixels they feel like, and you move the whole list over horizontally by that many pixels. When the user lets go, you give the list inertia proportional to how much movement, and how fast it was. The inertia causes the list to keep moving a bit, eventually coming to a stop. The settings in chrome touch don't usually work very smoothly at default, but a couple minutes fine tuning and it feels perfectly natural every time.
I only have a couple hundred movies. But searching through them using this app is painful. I have to click click click click click click... its just not worth it, easier to walk over and grab the remote.
