Boxee Crash (hard coded reference in source?)

[mra]

Boxee crashed on me, I noticed the following in the logs which looks like a hard coded reference to a developers machine? (appeared well over 100 times in the log)

Got the same thing, except another function
(Appears about 40 times each second in the log)...

[Tom Dibble]

This (the reference to a file which doesn't exist on your box) is normal. It refers to the source code file's location on the developer's box at the time Boxee was compiled. Specifically, it's usually a "__FILE__" macro in the source which expands to the specific file location. It's common practice to use this so that when an error report comes in the developer can go directly to the line in the source code which caused it (although often the actual error is elsewhere and so more digging is necessary to debug ... but that file and line number gives an important bit of information).

The point is, that's good for debugging, not much use to you.

For the error itself, it sounds like something is going awry in the GPU code.
