On the backend pc, the full videos (as downloaded from mythweb) play
fine in VLC, but they still crash mythtv-frontend and the full login
session when we attempt to play them using mythtv-frontend.

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythtv

When I attempt to play some mythtv recordings the entire mythtv-frontend crashes taking my login session with me. I then have to log back in and I lose all the other open applications. This happens on both when playing the recordings on the backend or using mythtv-frontend on one of our maverick laptops. This bug report was from one of the laptops, not the backend.

It doesn't happen with all recordings, just some. I haven't worked out yet if there is any common factor in the recordings, I'll keep watch and report back. Playing the recording using the ASX stream from mythweb appears to work on the same laptop as this crash report, but it does appear a bit jerky but totem doesn't report any problems with it.
