@ EnTerr:
I have had exceptions in my apps before but these unhandled exceptions always were shown on telnet session and just the application crashed not the whole Roku restarted. So can you please elaborate about what exceptions you are exactly talking about? And when we are not handling an event, it just does nothing and is wasted but how does it cause Roku to crash?

I am not sure how to elaborate further. Does a hands-on example like this viewtopic.php?f=34&t=69434 help?
It is just that Roku VM is not 100% rock solid, fact of life. I am reminded of a case over a dozen years ago, we were working on some web app, using J2EE container - and after running for a long time (hours), the Sun Java VM will just poop and die. With a C++ stack trace in the logs, mind you - not Java exception. Nothing we could do (i am not sure if Sun even had way for public to report bugs then) but prepare for it.

Have you used ifVideoPlayer.SetMaxVideoDecodeResolution?

Yes I have used this.

I tested it with different devices and found that it is varying device to device. Here is the result after testing on different devices:

Roku 1 (An older device): Playing everything fine (even some 1080p videos which i suppose it should not play as on all other devices 1080p videos are skipped due to use with 2d api)
Roku 1 (A newer device): Crashes at random videos (after trying to load them for quiet a time that seems to be 10 minute)
Roku Streaming Stick: Same behaviour as Roku 1 (A newer device)
Roku 2: Works perfectly fine (although 1080p videos are skipped)

So why same application is behaving differently on different devices?
