[Tomi Junnila <623039@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I installed the autobuilds (after backing up the DB) on the frontend
machine (the one I reported this error from, originally, and the one
using nvidia-current), and both recordings that were causing problems
earlier now worked ok. I've not had a chance to extensively test many
previously-working recordings, except to test that two others played ok
for the first minute or so at least.

I next upgraded the backend computer to autobuilds (0.23) also, but
won't be able to test that one until late. It is still recording ok at
least, and I don't really anticipate any problems since the crashes
appeared in exactly the same manner on both computers.

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.
