Well I tried compiling up a version of the 24Jul04 CVS with OpenGL
disabled, but it did not change the behavior.
There might be a clue in that fact that it is always about 50 seconds of
freeze, before the video starts up again. After the video un-freezes,
it will play for a while, and then mythfrontend will crash with an
Aborted message.
If I leave the video alone and don't try to JUMP arround in it, it plays
just fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
