Unable to start Boxee

[gusmaru]

Hopefully someone can help me. I just installed Boxee, however it fails to start properly. It started long enough for me to enter my account credentials but soon after that it crashes with the "Boxee stopped working" message.

A previous post mentioned ensuring that the latest flash player and DirectX was installed, so I updated those components, but no luck.

Windows 7 64-bit
4 GB RAM
AMD 3800 X2
ATI 5450 with Catalyst 10.8

Any assistance would be appreciated - logs are attached!

Thanks Marcel - I sent you an e-mail this morning. Let me know if you need more information.

I think I've figured it out. I disabled UPNP on my NAS and Boxee starts up without a hitch now. I think what happened was that it automatically mapped an smb share to my photo folder - probably because I have that as mapped as my default folder for Windows 7 for photos for the account I'm using. (i.e. go to the my pictures folder for the account you're logged into, right click and change the location of the shortcut)

Since I used a UNC path name for the folder to my nas and when Boxee tried create a smb pathname to it which failed.

Removing the source in Boxee would have worked as well if you could get to the UI screen quick enough before it started scanning the folder (removing the source or changing it to a mapped drive letter would solve this)
