Before I get the log (at work right now) should I try this instead?

@rikkard first provide the log please (put it on pastebin.com and link it here)

Sure thing I will do it tonight.

xmbc log in this gist (pastebin was down):

https://gist.github.com/4539254#file-xmbc-log

Other commands used to update, dmesg output, and top / ps output after the crash also in that gist.

For those who had troubles earlier this day (XBMC Not starting, XBMC crashing @ home screen), retry the instructions (updated them)

[Crashthatch]

Confirm that an apt-get install libcurl3 fixes my crashing problem.

Unfortunately am still getting grey stuff when scrolling and other decoding artifacts on XVid, even with the latest kernel (Linux xbian 3.6.11+ #3 PREEMPT Tue Jan 8 22:27:29 CET 2013 armv6l). Oh well...

@Crashthatch, can you open a issue on our github together with a sample of the problematic video? https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues?state=open

Well I went through and redid the updated instructions. It works perfectly now. No grey blocks and it doesn't crash.

@Koenkk are you going to recompile of cmythlib pvr plugin also? So far, the streaming from the mythtv backend is smooth and I can access recordings and LiveTV. However, major UI slowness in accessing the recording menus. I am wondering if the mythtv pvr plugin from HEAD will fix the issue.

[Koenkk]

@monkeypet When I recompile XBMC I also recompile the pvr addons

FWIW, I still get gray blocking on XviD files. I think I neglected to test XviD files in my initial post-RC3/firmware upgrade testing. I probably also got too excited about the fix and lost concentration.

Can anyone else confirm that they still have gray blocking when jumpung forward and back within XviD files? If I matters, I'm testing with content stored on a NAS box access via SMB. None of it is HD either.

On some movies i still do get them, on other not (anymore).

i noticed the procedure has been updated again...
i received no error messages during the upgrade.

however i found some errors in the xbmc.log after upgrade.

i started fresh from Alpha4 -> straight to upgrade -> basically cat the xbmc.log to see if there were any start-up errors for XBMC.

please solve these issues...

@s2108312.

Can you open an issue on our git about this one?

Code:

19:00:33 T:3043004416 ERROR: Error: Requested setting (audiooutput.guisoundmode) was not found. It must be case-sensitive

The CEC errors are "normal", we cannot fix them.

[s2108312]

@Koenkk done.
