I have an update to this problem - it is not a one-time corrupted file.

I record a program "necn now" every week. It seems every time I play a
recording of this program I have this problem. I have the system set to
start recordings 15 seconds before the program starts. When I play the
program with Raspberry PI, it plays the 15 seconds, then the screen goes
blank with a message "Please wait ...", then the front end shuts down.

As mentioned before, this does not happen when playing the recording
with i386 or amd 64 architecture with VDPAU.
