[mythtv-users] Playback freezing.. Can usually recover..

[Matthew Gleed]

I've been having a problem with playback of recorded shows periodically 
freezing.  The playback usually stops with a frame plastered on the 
screen and the image jittering.  The last time this happened I caught 
this in the log from mythfrontend:

I am usually able to exit playback and then restart the playback at 
which time playback will usually resume with no problem.  No other 
relevant info was captured in the mythbackend log or by ivtv in syslog.

System info:

Gentoo 2.6.8 dev-sources kernel
PVR-350 using decoder for TV-OUT
ivtv-0.2.0-rc1h

Any ideas?  Is this an ivtv issue?  Thanks!
