[Tomi Junnila <623039@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The same crash occurs also when other video renderers (VDPAU, OpenGL)
are used, and whether or not OpenGL vsync is enabled.

A gut feeling says the crashes occur only on recordings with DVB
subtitles, but this is not necessarily true -- the two recordings I
found which cause the crash were both on channels with DVB subtitles,
but some other recordings from the same channels seem to work ok.

MPlayer (2:1.0~rc3+svn20090426-1ubuntu16) is able to output the raw
MPEG2 file without subtitles, using both "-vo gl2" and "-vo vdpau".

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.
