@xkodemanxx , that is really interesting. I haven't tried just movies, because, obviously, I'm much more interested in using TV shows with PseudoTV but I experience the same issue of loading channels going "blank (black)". Although, I am able to hit "S" and then use the shutdown menu to close XBMC. You can see a few debug logs in my post 4 above this.
Also interesting is that I too am housing the media and running MySQL on a Synology NAS! The reason I'm so late to troubleshoot my PseudoTV issues is that I was having very weird issues since updating to Frodo that took months to finally solve (and ended up being related to the Synology). I finally traced a few oddities back to issues accessing the database, XBMC would "freeze" from 30 secs to a couple minutes whenever I would update my library. I fixed this issue using the instructions in this post. Apparently the issue was that the MySQL installation included in the Synology UI was an older version and MySQL has since changed the default DB engine. I figured solving that problem would inherently solve the PseudoTV problem, but clearly that doesn't seem to be the case as I'm still experiencing the same issues you describe. Us both using Synology NAS's seems to be too much of a coincidence.
Some further color of what I've tried: at one point I opened Channel Configuration and removed all but one channel and was able to get that to load. After adding the second one, which has a lot of children's shows, the channel load failed. And sometimes clicking on PseudoTV or Channel Configuration will make the sound like I've selected it, but nothing will happen. On one such occasion, I moved on and started watching TV shows, 3 shows in (so like an hour later) the Channel Configuration opened over the episode I was watching. That log (non debug) in in the same post 4 up from here...
