Ok, I rebuilt the addon from source and installed it according to the instructions here:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PVR...FromSource

The first time I rebooted, it did not crash. Then I started a recording on the backend, rebooted the frontened, and got the crash. Here's the latest crash log:

Hope this helps. Let me know if there's anything more I can do to help diagnose the problem.

Here's one more crash log, this time with the additional debug information enable for the addon.

Thanks, this helps a lot! I can see in the logs that the crash was happening somewhere in the function IsRecordingVisible.
This doesn't exist any more, so it looks like you're not running the new addon code.
The configure parameter and "make clean zip" is important.

Code:

git clone git://github.com/fetzerch/xbmc-pvr-addons.git
cd xbmc-pvr-addons
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-addons-with-dependencies
make clean zip

So can you please try it again and also please enable 'debug log' for xbmc (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Log_file). You log doesn't contain DEBUG messages. (only NOTICE and ERROR).

Cheers,
Christian

Thanks so much, Christian!

I think the addon that I built from source didn't get applied when I followed the instructions and did "install from zip file" within XBMC. I manually copied the file XBMC_MythTV_cmyth.pvr to the directory /usr/lib/xbmc/addons/pvr.mythtv.cmyth.

If that was the right thing to do, perhaps the page of instructions for building from source should be updated to include that.

In any case...since doing that, I haven't been able to replicate the crash. I've tried stopping and restarting XBMC several times, including with programs recording.

Also...the addon seems *much* faster.when starting up, when switching between menus,and when exiting from a video. Before, it would sometimes hang for 3-5 minutes when first bringing up the program titles menu or when exiting after watching a program. It's working perfectly now.

If, as appears to be the case, the current version fixes all these problems, I hope it will be pushed out soon to all users. I would like to use it with OpenELEC, but I'll wait till it's updated in that distribution.
