XBMC Crash when starting script

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I don't know if its reproduceabel.

I copied the MythBox folder into the scripts folder in .xbmc of the used 
account. Than I start XBMC and switch to scripts, I try to start MythBox than 
there I can see (Running) short and than Iam back on my Desktop...
Mythfrontend is running well except that I have no EPG, but that can't be the 
problem here.

I can't see any errors in Logs but attached them. 
The System is an Zotac ION Board with a Sundtek DVB Stick. With Gentoo 64bit on 
it.

Wantend to attach the coredump too but there is not .xbmc/scripts/MythBox/core 
folder or file.

Thanks for help.

I'm also experiencing the same problem. I've seen this on all versions of 
MythBox I've tried, and it's still present in RC1. I can't find any errors in 
the logs either, but I'll attach them just in case. I'm using the mediastream 
skin (if that matters...)

My system is a 64-bit openSUSE 11.2 with packman's xbmc rpm package.

Exactly the same - gentoo 64 bit

I have a core - it is 10M compressed - let me know if you think it will be 
helpful

I see you all are using the python 2.6 in /usr instead of the python 2.4 
version packaged with XBMC. Is this just a matter of how xbmc is packaged for 
gentoo?

At least for openSUSE this is how it is yes... I actually figured this might be 
a problem too, and tried to compile xbmc from source instead to try and get the 
XBMC defaults and python 2.4 into use. I can't remember any more where I got 
stuck, but I have never gotten to test xbmc with python 2.4...

Has anything been resolved with this since 2010? I have Mythtv and xbmc both 
working well but not playing nicely together with the script. 

Help from anyone?

I have this problem as well. I'm running:
Version: 2:11.0~git20111007.e330173-0ubuntu1~ppa1~natty
on MythBuntu 11.04 64-bit. MythBox is the latest from the hg repository.

When I run MythBox from inside XBMC, the splash screen is displayed for a 
moment. Then XBMC crashes and restarts again.

I'd like to help diagnose and fix this problem. How can I help?

Here is my crash log. I couldn't find a core dump file even though a path for 
one is mentioned in the log.

I got a couple steps further by doing the following (on mythbuntu 11.04):

sudo apt-get remove python-simplejson
# this also removed apport and some other non-essential depending packages

rm -rf ~/.xbmc/addons/script.mythbox/resources/lib/simplejson

sudo apt-get install libcrystalhd3

But it still crashes, and I can no longer see an obvious reason in the log 
files (attached). Any advice on debugging?

I am having a similar sounding issue.   I'm running 3 XBMC instances on Ubuntu 
11.04.  MythBox crashes on all of them.  when I first installed 3 to 4 months 
ago, it worked but something go updated and now it crashes instantly.

It doesn't even go to the configuration screen.

Thanks

If you're using eden-pre, grab the latest trunk. I've committed a fix for the 
startup crash.
