Crash (segfault) when going into video options during playback
#1
For some reason XBMC always defaults to playing subtitles if there are any in the video folder. Every time then I must go into the video options while it is playing and disable them. This doesn't bother me too much (but id still like to know why), but I just ran into a problem where going into the video options during playback causes a segfault. I've looked through the debug log but I am not seeing any issues. I've pasted a link to the log below, the relevant part from ffmpeg loading the video until the crash. This is really strange since I seem to remember disabling the subtitles for similar videos to the one in question (i.e. same source and directory structure). I did completely reinstall the xbmc package after upgrading to Hardy but I'm not sure if any others have experienced similar issues. Any ideas would be appreciated. thanks

If you dig around a bit in the OSD there is a "use these settings for all videos" option that will preserve "disable subs." I can't confirm or deny the crash ATM. It would've been nice if you'd posted the FULL Debug Log and/or at least the revision you're running.

Also try it with Project Mayhem III, Clearity is a little outdated
basically we only check out this sort of bug if you can reproduce them with the default skin anyway

Thanks for the tip on the setting I was looking for with subtitles. And yea I should have posted a full log... but I figured out the problem and its kinda my fault. I wasn't using the default PM3 skin. I was using Clearity and I also tried Aeon both of which segfaulted trying to access audio/video settings with fullscreen content for any video i tried. Works fine with PM3 though. Does anyone know whats up with these skins or where I could start digging to make them work? They are both amazing looking and have some nice features and I find it hard to believe they dont allow access to these menus. I'm gonna try a few more skins (I got everything from xbmc-skins-common except Aeon) and see if they do the same thing.

thanks

Haha got my post up just a bit too late but thanks for the reply. I am running the latest Hardy PPA btw. Anyone else using these skins without that problem?

Like I said they are outdated if you really want to fix it open up VideoOSDSettings.xml in the PAL folder find
PHP Code:
    <control type="image" id="5">
        <
description>control area</description>
        <
posx>70</posx>
        <
posy>120</posy>
        <
width>570</width>
        <
height>360</height>
        <
texture>-</texture>
        <include>
common-fade</include>
    </
control

and replace it with this and it should work fine
PHP Code:
    <control type="grouplist" id="5">
        <
description>control area</description>
        <
posx>70</posx>
        <
posy>120</posy>
        <
width>570</width>
        <
height>360</height>
        <
itemgap>0</itemgap>
        <
pagecontrol>60</pagecontrol>
        <
onleft>60</onleft>
        <
onright>60</onright>
        <
onup>5</onup>
        <
ondown>5</ondown>
    </
control
