New version completely unstable

[triumshockwave]

I was having good luck with the previous build of Boxee. I could play videos reliably, and was using it heavily. However, the new version is proving completely unusable.

I have the issue reported in this thread, about it kicking to windowed mode when playback starts:
http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=306

That's assuming I even get as far as playback though. Most of the time, Boxee just crashes when I either try to go into My Sources, or when I attempt to start playing a file. I did install the optional crash reporter, but I haven't seen any prompts from it. Hopefully you guys are getting the reports. In the meantime, I think I need to go back to the previous build unless anyone has any ideas.

hi.
sorry you had so much trouble using this ver.

if you can - i would suggest you tried a "fresh install".
all the local settings are basically saved under "~/Library/Application Support/BOXEE" so please "rename" this folder (so that you can recover later if needed) and try running boxee. this will require re-defining the user and sources but may resolve the crashes you experience.

in any case it would be cool if you can copy+paste the crash report to my email (vulkan@boxee.tv).

thanks.

Throwing out prefs isn't helping anything. Once I've done that, I discovered yet another crash when I try to add a source. I'm emailing you the crash report, but I think I need to go back to the previous version.

Scratch that, the previous version's installer errors out. Is there anywhere else that Boxee puts files that I need to flush out?

[vulkan]

no. only /Applications/Boxee.app and ~/Library/Application Support/BOXEE

you can cmd+L on the installer when it breaks and paste the log.
