I have noticed when viewing video podcasts in 3rd party apps (Downcast & iCatcher) when a notification comes in it crashes the app. Both apps crash in exactly the same way so I'm assuming it's a notification bug and not a bug with the podcast app.

I am guessing that your assumption is wrong considering that its not happening with a ton more applications I am yet to have a application crash do to a notification. More then likely the application needs a update for ios5

How many tons of 3rd party apps that you have play video? If you have ANY, see if this happens in those apps. BTW, both of these have been updated for iOS 5.

Seems strange that two separate apps crash exactly the same. I'll reload VLC and see if that crashes. Are you recieving a Messages Notification to test it or some other notification?

I have watched quite a few videos and had many notifications come in mostly messages though

That might be why. If I set to Banner it doesn't crash. If set to Alerts it does. Try setting to Alert and see if it crashes.

I'm discussing this with a Dev right now and he's trying to figure out if it's on his side or Apples.

Ok I guess your correct then I don't use alerts so this won't do anything to me
