Thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu by opening this ticket.  Is
there any way that you can test a newer revision by choosing 0.23.0
after activating the autobuilds (per http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-
builds)?  We need to verify the problem still exists there before moving
further.

Please be sure to back up your database before doing this though,
because you can't downgrade back to your current version unless you drop
the database and restore a backup.

mythfrontend crashes on starting playback of some DVB recordings

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythtv-frontend

1) Ubuntu release
Ubuntu 10.04 (x86_64)

2) mythtv-frontend release
0.23.0+fixes24158-0ubuntu2

3) What you expected to happen
After selecting a recent DVB recording, I expected to watch it.

4) What happened instead
mythfrontend dies with a segmentation fault. This has been fairly common after upgrading to 10.04 - I don't recall a single crash with 9.10.

This particular crash log is from a DVB recording which plays back ok when viewed with mythfrontend on a Mac, but crashes on two Ubuntu 10.04 machines (both x86_64). Both computers have NVidia graphics, though the backend computer uses nvidia-173 and this log comes from a computer with nvidia-current.

mythfrontend is using ffmpeg & XVideo output at least on the computer this log comes from.
