Sometimes it will crash during "seeking" or pausing but it is a very underpowered system and generally it works ok.
Many thanks!
Glad to hear you have a just about sorted your problem. Just 2 thing to note
1) the SVN version of XBMC isn't always stable so the odd crash could be be due to living on the edge.
2) even on an underpowered system if you manage to install an NVidia 8xxx or 9xxx series card under linux you can make use of the GPU to do the H.264 decoding via VDPAU. Suddenly even an underpowered system can easily play the BBC IPlayer 720p streams.
