Hi All,
I've been having two random issues occur with XBMC recently. I'm running XBMCbuntu on a machine with an AMD Phenom 840 CPU and a GT210 video card. I had no trouble with this hardware under XBMC Live, and most of the time it works normally with XBMCbuntu. However, at seemingly random intervals, one of two things will sometimes happen when I choose to play a video:
1. The audio for the video program will start, but the video will never initialize -- it stays on the skin screen, sometimes the little rotating circle is there still too. Audio will play indefinitely if you let it. Sometimes you can stop it with the remote, other times you cannot. If you can stop it with the remote, however, the system is still borked and you have to re-start XBMC to get it back to a usable state.
2. The video will play perfectly normally but XBMC stops responded to all remote commands, whether from the IR remote or a remote keyboard.
I've gone through the logs for these events, but I don't see anything that stands out to me. I'm posting a log portion below. It contains the log from the start of the last video I watched successfully to the end of the second video where #2 above happened.

If anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate it.
