Let me share some of my findings since my last post.
I have installed XBMC on a pc to connect to the same MySql db. It works fine, no crash.
I have upgraded and downgraded XBMC on ATV2 (from Frodo to nightly builds). Always crashes when showing some movie info.
The crash at startup only happens if the startup menu item is Movies and is showing Recently Added. This was my initial case.
I have then created a new MySql DB. Scanned all movies. Didn't get the problem since there was a different list of movies in the Recently Added. If I open the Movies section, it crashes after a few seconds.
So my guess is that something about the movies is causing it. Dont know what or why.
Havent found what's causing it.
Tired of it, reverted to the local db in the ATV2. No problems since then.
Tried the nightly build from early this week - it starts to crash again.. but somehow this crashing seems to happen at random times.. and I'm still using the local DB (not MySql)
Not sure what to make of this.. at the moment I think it is better effort spent into replacing the ATV2 for something better than figuring out what's going on..
ps My movies collection has around 370 movies.. i read about similar problem with DB with > 3000 movies leading to memory problems of the ATV2.. dont think that's the case here.
