"Small" issue.

XBMC decided to crash whenever I play a DVD.


DtsDeviceOpen: Create File Failed
CRITSEC[0x11b71e0]: Trying to enter destroyed section.
CRITSEC[0x11b71e0]: Trying to leave destroyed section.
CRITSEC[0x11b02e8]: Trying to enter destroyed section.

So the recommendation was to kill Pulse Audio.  So I uninstalled it.  I'll my usual tests (audio disc, avi file on hdd, avi files on DVD, avi files on cd, copied DVD, factory DVD etc.).  

Hopefully this will kill the frequent problem I have with DVD+-Rs with video container files like avi and mkvs locking XBMC up.

Ok, guess it didn't. I still get:



Running DIL (3.6.0) Version
DtsDeviceOpen: Opening HW in mode 0
DtsDeviceOpen: Create File Failed
CRITSEC[0x11b71e0]: Trying to enter destroyed section.
CRITSEC[0x11b71e0]: Trying to leave destroyed section.

The DVD drive that I have installed is probably at least 5 years old or more so I'm not ruling that out as a cause of some problems, however, the tray was open when I started XBMC this time and so I have to assume that it's something else.


When launching from the command line.  I didn't reboot after pulling Pulse Audio off. Guess I'll try a rebuild and if that doesn't work revert to an earlier more stable version.

I also have an issue with this version of XBMC (pre-10.5 r35617M) where inserting a DVD into the drive is supposed to autoplay the DVD but instead it brings up a file manager like window with the options:

Browse Video
Browse Music
Browse Pictures
Browse Files

  1. Apparently this may be related to pulseaudio so I'll take a look at that.

    I've also added an entry using visudo that will allow XBMC to be sudoed w/o pwd:

    %group ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/xbmc
