 Priority:  major                    |   Milestone:     
Component:  mythtv                   |     Version:     
 Severity:  medium                   |  
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 If mythfrontend is at a menu, I can switch the VT to another X or text VT
 and back again with no issues in screen restoration.  If I am watching
 LiveTV or
 watching video playback, and I switch to another VT and then back again,
 the screen stays black and no video is displayed.

 I can then kill the mythfrontend process (from a text VT) and the desktop
 is
 restored on the X VT.
 Several error messages about buffering the video appear in the shell where
 I started mythfrontend.

 Suggested behavour:

 Upon a VT switch away while any video is playing, pause the video
 playback.
 Upon a VT switch back to the mythfrontend, the video will be paused and
 the current
 frame can be repainted/refreshed based in the VT switch (VT event ?).

 If this is too difficult, just have the frontend exit to the main menu.
