[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend lockup

[Allen Edwards]

When we left this problem last I was instructed to do my CTRL-ALT-BS to
reset the gui and record the time then look at the mythfrontend.log.

My wife called my downstairs, I noted the time as 20:30, did the
CTRL-ALT-BS. Then about 2 minutes later Myth came back up.

Here are three lines out of the log. The first is well before the event and
I just include it to show that the next line was in fact all that was
printed immediately before the event. The last line is the first in a
series of Setup records.

Oct  7 19:48:33 NewMyth mythfrontend.real: mythfrontend[1643]: I
CoreContext mythrender_vdpau.cpp:615 (CheckOutputSurfaces) VDPAU: Added 2
output surfaces (total 4, max 4)
Oct  7 20:27:18 NewMyth mythfrontend.real: mythfrontend[1643]: E Decoder
mythplayer.cpp:3504 (DecoderGetFrame) Player(1q): Decoder timed out waiting
for free video buffers.
Oct  7 20:32:30 NewMyth mythfrontend.real: mythfrontend[6495]: I
thread_unknown signalhandling.cpp:194 (SetHandlerPrivate) Setup Interrupt
handler.

Also, from my desktop upstairs I could see that the backend kept running
and mythweb was fine. Myth screen shot did not respond.

I would like help on what might be causing this and what I might do to
eliminate the 2 minute wait between CTRL-ALT-BS and system restart. Under
Mythbuntu, there was no delay.

Thank you.

Allen
