Hi.
I have installed the modified version of XBMC as discussed on another thread to get hardware acceleration on my e350 AMP APU PC, running Ubuntu 12.04 using unity 2d.
The playback works fine with my setup, but I am experiencing what looks like to me some XBMC stability problems. XBMC seems to crash on startup up randomly. When I try and launch XBMC again, it will work. (Log of such a crash.)
Another kind of crash: If I leave XBMC running for a day, it will lock up, with no mouse inputs showing on screen. Screensaver disables, but view is locked up in the files browser view. No process uses CPU major. Log of XBMC in such a state. Only way out of this state is to kill xbmc. (I first kill xbmc process, then xbmc.bin process. This then leaves the screensaver visible, and stuck. Normal Ubuntu mouse cursor is then visible. Ubuntu desktop not shown though. As state described below when quitting XBMC.)
I'm not sure if this is related, but sometimes when I exit XBMC its window will stay visible, and I have to go Ctrl+Alt+F1, Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get X to show up properly again. This seems to happen about 70% of the time on quit.
I am running XBMC (13.0-ALPHA3 Git:41061a8) Built on Apr 5 2013. (According to the ppa its the latest tested Git XBMC for my version of Ubuntu.)
My driver version according to is .
Does anyone know how I can get more info from XBMC for debugging? Any ideas of where to start looking to troubleshoot?
Thanks
