Starting mixxx with arguments under gdb works like this:
gdb --args mixxx --resourcepath res

I have no good idea how we can provide a better way to start it. Maybe we should add a crash report facility directly to mixxx instead.

The log files have reasonable file modify times maybe that helps to remember what has happened.

Mixxx caches only parts of the track in ram. You may try to remove your USB stick during playback to test it. As long you have your settings path on a fixed drive nothing bad school happen. Mixxx should play until the cache is empty without any crash.

On other issue comes my mind. We have a serious memory consumption issue starting mixxx with the developer flag. The same was reported with old versions of the Intel graphics driver. Maybe mixxx is killed by the os because of reaching memory limits. Please have a look if the used ram is increasing during a run.
