Hi Daniel,

I tested the test H264 clip with ffplay on Fedora 10
(ffmpeg-0.4.9-0.52.20080908.fc10). This also showed the
fault although ffplay hung with no CPU usage rather than
segment faulted.

I updated ffmpeg to the latest from the SVN tree and
all was fine.

So I guess when MythTv is next synchronised with the
ffmpeg svn tree all will be well. Are there any ideas
when this is next likely to happen ?

Cheers


Terry
