View Full Version : Crashing while (re)naming sources

Is this happening to anyone else?

Whenever I add a new source for media or edit it (no matter the category), I can actually specify the source just fine, but once I enter the text entry dialogue to edit the name of the source, XBMC quits after a couple of seconds. I can manage to get a letter or two in there, but nothing else.

Running Atlantis Beta 2 on Vista x64 SP1. This isn't happening on my Mac, so if it is an issue, it's a Windows one. It also doesn't appear to matter what the source is, as this happened when adding local volumes, D:, or my SMB network.

If others are able to reproduce this problem, I'll go ahead and add a bug report. However, this seems like such an obvious bug that the fact nobody else has reported it yet is giving me pause.

Grab a debug log of this in action, paste to pastebin and link to it from here.

Here's the log file:

Hope this helps. It sure does stop abruptly...

Please do a full debug log. Do not cut it - information beforehand may well be beneficial.

Also, in that snippet there doesn't appear to be any problem.

Sorry. Here's a fresh one. I truncated the last one because I had played a video file, so the log was some 520k long.

This time all I did was start it, go to Videos, right-click D:, and choose Edit Source. I then clicked on the name, within a few seconds it quit.

Looking at both logs, I don't see any sign of this unexpected quit at all. Perhaps I'm missing something.

Something else has forced the close of the app if the log file is truncated in that way - essentially the app has completely stopped, and has not exited of it's own volition.

No idea why that is. Does it also happen if you edit a source of (for instance) C: ?

I've tried it with network folders, local folders... My Video, My Music... It all ends the same way.

Windows seems to be unaware of any errors as well. I don't get an error message of any kind.

As it's a dedicated HTPC machine, it's a pretty barebones system too. I only have a handful of apps installed.

Any other ideas I should try? Is there a system log you can think of that might tell us more?
