Loving the new release, but I think I've found an issue with music playback over HDMI when changing tracks and crossfading is enabled.

With crossfading off, everything is fine. Playback moves from track 1 to track 2 to track 3 etc.

With crossfading on, I get an error message and no sound on every second track. Track 1 plays fine; when track 1 is about over and it tries to move to track 2 I get a "Failed to initialize audio device, Check your audiosettings" error message. After the end of the silent track 2 and track 3 is to begin, sound resumes. Same problem whether its MP3 to MP3 or FLAC to FLAC.

I'm running on an Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H (nVidia 9400). Let me know if I should open a trac ticket and upload some log files.

I turned off cross-fading and it did indeed fix my problem

As far as I know this has never worked. Due to the way audio is processed and sent to the HDMI. It can not send two streams at once. (by default)

See this thread for more information: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=66973

thanks for that thread i'll just chalk it up to not being an option right now... no big deal to me, but i just noticed that option so I enabled it.

Agreed - not a big issue since playback is fine with crossfading is disabled.

With the aim of making it simple for end-users, it would be best if the app either disabled the crossfade option when HDMI is selected, or behind the scenes ignored the crossfading setting if it sees HDMI as the output choice.

But I will happily give up crossfading to have the HW acceleration and other new features...
