Crashing when exiting to menu.

[pwtenny]

The problem: after watching nearly all of a program, exiting back to the menu either via stop (on the remote) or Back/Exit (silver hauppauge), GBPVR crashes.

My take: looks like something I broke in the skin, mine is heavily modified.

The catch: it doesn't do it if I start the program from the beginning and only watch it for a few minutes. It only dies if I watch basicly the entire program, then try to exit out.

The error message boxes and the log are here: http://dock.nevernet.com/images/gbpvr_errors/

It still looks like a skin problem I may have made, but it's just not specific enough for me to know. Any ideas?

Does this error still happen for you with v0.94.12? I seem to remember fixing a bug something like this. Your logs indicate you're running some older version.

I apologize, I meant to mention the version. I am running v0.93.10 (GBPVR.exe version 1.0.2051.27281). I take it you would suggest upgrading?

Yep, the old release is dead to me Easier to support one release than two

I've upgraded and will let you know one way or another if the exit-to-menu crash was solved by it. Until I get a chance to watch a full program and find out, I've run into a crash with this newest release.

The meat of it via the error dialog:

I got this trying to update a recurring recording. It errored after: going to Recordings, selecting Recurring, selecting info for a program, and finally selecting Update (it was set to record the wrong channel.) I restarted GVPVR and it happened again while trying to update that recording. The text from the error dialog is attached, and the log for gbpvr is at the url below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

While I was writing this, I decided to switch away from my skin to the default, and GBPVR did not crash this time, but it did return on on-screen error of: Object reference not set to an instance of an object (null pointer).

The error follows:

As I said, under the default skin this was recoverable (errors and kicks you back to the main menu). Under my skin, it crashes hard. All my recurring programs except one I just made within a day or two cause this behavior. I have run into this before under previous versions and I never thought to report it, I just deleted the recurring entry that was giving me problems and made a new one just like it. But now it seems that 99% of them are doing it.

I need that one program changed since it's recording the wrong channel, so I am going to go ahead and delete the sucker tonight so at least that one will do what it should be doing. I will leave the others as they are as they do not need to be updated (and as far as I know, still cause gbpvr to record properly) pending any request for info from you.

Since my last post, GBPVR still does this to me intermittently, although it simply locks up solid rather than crashing.

It freezes going back to the menu from both live preview, and also watching a recorded program. I don't know what else I can say about it since no crash probably means nothing of value in logs, but it's a pain in the butt. It locks up solid which forces me to keep a keyboard and mouse hooked up full-time so I can kill the process.

(note: I am running NVidia's DVD decoder, it's visibly superior to *everything*)
