Hi Luna,
thanks for the updates, new features and your continuing hard work. I have been having a problem with PTVL as of late that effects both of my PC's. When I leave PTVL to play it chokes up on certain files it plays. I have no idea which of my local files it doesnt like as it apears randomly. When it happens I see a black screen with the standby symbol. I can hear the sound playing but stuttering. At this point PTVL is unusable and I have to open the task manager to force quit XBMC. At the time of the crashes XBMC also generates a stacktrace and a crashlog at a rate of 1 per second. I end up with 10's of thousands in my userdata folder taking up gigabytes of space. I don't have any problems playing any of my media in standard XBMC. XBMC has as long as I have used it played anything I throw at it. I have tried the development and stable builds.

Here is a link to a log and a sample of the crashlog files. I hope you can help. LOG

Your log doesn't have any clear errors from PseudoTV Live... Looks like you have a lot of plugins and misc things installed on your XBMC. Any of those things can be causing an issue or conflict with PTVL.

I would start completely clean with the min needed for PTVL, and see if the crash happens again. I'd also make sure to install the latest version of metahandler.

ok, thanks for the reply. I will give that a try.

Update: I googled for "metahandler" and found a repo called S****repo. (It may be against forum rules posting it). It updated a load of my plugins but I never saw anything about metahandler. I eventually found a git for it and downloaded and updated it manually. Done a little testing by launching PTVL and changing channels. It hasnt crashed thus far. I think it may have fixed the problem. If that doesnt work I will continue by deleting unneeded plugins. If that doesnt work I'm coming down to your house with the family to watch TV at yours...LOL

..But seriously thanks for the help.
