Since upgrading(?) my Celeron-(AMD-64)-based system from Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) to 11.04 (Natty) the XBMC music player keeps hanging. Sometimes it happens after a few minutes, sometimes it plays for 20 ~ 30 minutes before hanging.
The UI and visualization keeps running. The music stops. i see 2 xbmc processes listed. I can kill one but not the other. It is clearly deadlocked in a mutex wait.
If I press the pause/play button a couple of times the UI will hang as well.
I am running "XBMC 2:10.1~ppa1~lucid" which appears to be the latest version. I ran through the ppa installation sequence and got the following warnings:
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/u...ce/Sources 404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/u...4/Packages 404 Not Found
[The important part of the above links is not displayed. It is "ubuntu/dists/natty/main". In other words it was looking for a Natty specific version but did not find one.]
Later comes a message telling me I have the latest version. Are there no updates for 10.10 Maverick or 11.04 Natty?
Is anyone else suffering this problem? Searches for "natty hangs" and "natty deadlocks" did not find anything in the forums. Is it a known problem with a fix available?
