Bug: Crashing on exit in FullScreen

[larrikinaus]

I notice that with the latest version XBMC now loads as a squarish window in OSX. That is easily fixed by changing the resolution within XBMC to load with my full resolution.

However, when I exit XBMC using the apple menu QUIT when its a squarish window, it closes fine.

When I have it as full screen (ie not playing a video - just sitting in the menus in full screen) and I try and exit by selecting SHUT DOWN, XBMC crashes and freezes in the shutdown menu. I have to perform a cold reboot on my mac mini to get around it.

Is there any other way of exiting XBMC when in full screen or is this a bug for now?

I should add that APPLE + Q does not exit XBMC. Has this been deliberately disabled? It would be nice to keep APPLE + Q as an exit feature to XBMC like any other OSX app.

option-command(apple key)-escape should work fine if OSXBMC freezes on you in fullscreen.

I can't reproduce this freezing problem on my Mini. If someone could attach to a frozen process and get me stack traces, that would be great (perhaps via "Sample Process" in Activity Monitor?

Thanks,

Out of curiosity, what skins are people using who are seeing the hang on exit? If it ain't PM3, that might explain why I can't reproduce it.

I'm using the standard skin that comes with your build (not at home right now so can't check the name of it to see if it is PM3).

As for going into activity monitor, in full screen, once it is frozen, I can't navigate at all into OSX because it is locked on the shutdown menu.

I haven't tried to SSH into the box but I could do that and run something like TOP?

I also have the same problem with OSXBMC freezing on exit but mine will also freeze when it's not fullscreen. Here is a link to the stack trace I pulled while OSXBMC was frozen and using 99% CPU. I am running this on a Macbook Pro 2.2GHz, 4GB Ram and GeForce 8600M GT graphics.

Elan, let me know if there is anything else I can do to help t/s this. I also have a Mac Mini that I haven't tested the new version on yet. I'll have to test on that and see if it freezes too.

As a followup, I can't seem to make it freeze when exiting on my Mini (1.83GHz Intel C2D, 1GB Ram and GMA 950 graphics).

And I'm using PM3 skin on my Macbook Pro that is having the problem. Hopefully that stack trace helps. I also have a crash report that I can send if needed, can't paste to pastie because its longer than 125,000 lines.

Thanks for the trace! I was seeing this exact issue before I tweaked some of the new full-screen code. Can you try running in windowed mode and quitting out of it (i.e. set screen mode to 720p or something, and then start and exit).

I don't see this issue at all anymore, so I'm a bit confused.

Here is a trace from windowed mode (720p 16:9). When it crashes, the window closes but it just seems to stay open and hang out, then I have to Command+Option+Escape to force quit it and then I get the unresponsive app message box.

FYI, I completely blew away the ~/Library/Application Support/XBMC before installing the new version also.
