[1.0RC3] XBMC keeps restarting

[junwin]

So I experienced the same problem if you continue to experience this problem edit: /etc/init/xbmc-failed-start.conf

This script typically waits 100 seconds running a status check on xbmc, if the status is still pending or not started it forcefully kills xbmc.

To fix simply adjust the line:
exec sleep 100

replace with

exec sleep 300

This will increase the wait time to 300 seconds.

The core issue here is when you start installing plugins. They slow the boot up time of xbmc.
