Elmedia Player Crashes Lion

Elmedia Player crashes Lion even though the app is not open. When viewing video (in Chrome, Safari or Quicktime) an Elmedia Player process triggers a crash. If you've ever installed Elmedia Player then you need to remove it from your system in a few places in order to prevent system crashes on Mac OS 10.7. I originally thought this was a bug in Google Chrome because the crashes seemed to occur while using Chrome. Thanks to the crash logs (viewable in Console under /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports) I was able to see a pattern of repeat offenders, primarily the following failure:


Kernel Extensions in backtrace:

com.eltima.ElmediaPlayer.kext

BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task



Steps to resolve:


1) Browse to your applications folder - Delete Elmedia Player

2) Browse to the following location and delete this file - System/Library/Extensions/ElmediaPlayer.kext

3) Browse to the following location and delete this file - username/Library/LaunchAgents/com.eltima.ElmediaPlayer.plist


Hope this helps someone else. Cheers!

Does this known problem occur on any other Mac OS X? Because I have a few Mac's with different Mac OS X's on them. They are:


Tiger 10.4.11 (which elmedia player is already insalled on but I haven't noticed or had any problems) (iBook g3)


Leopard 10.5.8 (iBook g4)


and


Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (Macbook 06 and 07)




Is this problem known to occur on any other OS X?


It would greatly help for future reference,


Thank you very much,


Connor
