Comment(by mythtv at hbuus.com):

 I have a similar problem with mythtv_0.20.2-0ubuntu10.1. However, I'm only
 seeing the problem plaing imported videos (.vob's) in mythvideo, not while
 playing recordings in mythtv. I think I have a fix for my problem (which
 is in mythtv, not mythvideo) and wonder if it might fix your problem, too.

 What I would like to know is if you have the means to get a core dump of
 mythfrontend when the deadlock occurs, and can examine it with gdb, so I
 can confirm whether your problem is the same? I.e. kill -segv
 <mythfrontend-pid> produces a core file that can be examined with gdb. I'm
 not sure you can, given the fact that MiniMyth is a diskless version.

 If you can get a core dump and can get stack backtraces out of gdb that
 confirm it is the same problem, then can you build MiniMyth with my fix
 and see if it fixes your problem?

 If you can't get a core dump, then I think I need to create a separate
 ticket and recruit testers who can get core dumps. If my fix solves
 problems for someone other than me, hopefully it will make it into the a
 patch that filters down to the various distros, including MiniMyth.

 I'm new to Trac, so I hope you'll be notified of my comment and we'll have
 a means to communicate.
