I see you have the option set that starts live TV in the schedule.
Perhaps that is related. I will try that. I also see some of your other
issues of the playback being offset and smaller. Maybe you can post a
picture of your frontend setup -> appearance page.

For the core dump, you need to run
gdb /path/to/program core
[ substitute the path and name of your mythfrontend program and the name
of the core dump file ]
Then run the command
bt
That will show the stack trace of where the failure occurred.

If gdb is not installed run sudo apt-get install gdb
