XBMC crashes when a (FTP) source in a multipath is not available - fArGo - 2008-09-03
When clicking on a multi-source (video/music) Ive noticed that XBMC hangs when trying to access a network share that isn't available at that time. Convenient would be if it times out instead.
Also, it is NOT possible to remove ALL sources like VIDEO and start all over again adding new multi-sources. Instead XBMC creats a Video(2). VIDEO is still there.
Cheers/fArGo
P.s I tried to submit a ticket but I got an error message saying: "TICKET_CREATE privileges are required to perform this operation"

I should have posted this in the bug section.. sorry

Did you register a new user at trac?
When it works please specify exactly what you did to reproduce. It may sound silly but I don't use XBMC that often (unfortunately) and dunno all it's capabilities. Sometimes I need a "better" description on how to reproduce things
Reproduce - fArGo - 2008-09-03
Yeah I'm registered and logged in.
To reproduce it just add your local video content AND a network source (like a NAS for example) Execute XBMC (windows version) without the network source available and XBMC will crach or hang.
- fArGo - 2008-09-03
In my case the source is referring to a ftp source.
- Gamester17 - 2008-09-03
hmm, I wonder if XBMC for Windows even has an FTP client library?, is it maybe handled by libcurl?
In any case please (always) post a debug log.
- kraqh3d - 2008-09-03
yes, libcurl handles ftp. and xbmc should time out. duplicate the down source as a standalone source. it *should* be the same. all the paths in a multipath sources are just fetched sequentially. and please provide a debug log.

If libcurl is not properly loaded, XBMC would crash (at least on linux version).
What does xbmc.log show prior to crash?
- kraqh3d - 2008-09-03
true. hmm... maybe a dll loading conflict? do you happen to have multiple ftp sources in this multipath source?
- fArGo - 2008-09-04
Yes it is a "multi" ftp multi-path i.e one other xbox and a a NAS. All using ftp protocol.
Strangely enough I can't reproduce the crash again. It was caching all day yesterday. Now it is timing out as it should...
I guess I shouldn't post the full log as it is very long. What should I be looking for?
- kraqh3d - 2008-09-04
please, never post a log here. use pastebin to host the log file and post a link. but there's no need to post the log until you can reproduce the problem.
