Channel Preview, crashes after some time. - iltasu - 2011-03-31

Hi,
whenever I select a channel on the pvr, it goes into preview mode, but after some time (say seconds), it crashes xbmc as a whole, here is the link to the (huge) crashlog:
Huge 4MB crashlog

could you install gdb and provide a new crashlog please. can't reproduce it here.

Hmmmmm! I'm sure it's installed... do I have to configure something?

Code:
$ dpkg --get-selections|grep gdb
gdb                        install
libeggdbus-1-0                    install
libgdbm3                    install
python-gdbm                    install

hmm, it should produce a nice stack trace with gdb installed.

in that case, could you start xbmc within gdb ("gdb `which xbmc`"), wait for a crash. type "bt full" and pastebin the output.

thanks!

hmmmmm! I have a little problem in finding in my xbmc live setup the correct way to do a gdb `which xbmc`, starting xbmc that way, starts nothing, even gdb `which xbmc-standalone` or gdb `which start xbmc-live` starts nothing, the way my system starts xbmc, is usually by "start xbmc-live" (issued on boot, I think, but via ssh it works even manually, both stop and start).

thanks! ^_^

ah sorry, wasn't paying attention. gdb'ing a shell script makes no sense.

use "gdb /path/to/xbmc.bin" instead. if you're using a prebuilt package, it's in /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin
