<div class="im">> Does anything pop out at anyone on what the problem could be? This is not the first time something similar has happened with this ION-based frontend and I don't know whether to upgrade to 0.22 across the board or work out the bugs on 0.21-fixes first.<br>

</div>Nothing pops out, but I didn't look that closely... But I will point out that you're running a completely unsupported build there, which no MythTV dev is likely to care about fixing. For one, 0.21 is no longer the current release, and so far as I know, there are no plans to do any further work to fix any issues with it. Second, you've got the vdpau backport in the mix. If you want to have a prayer at this being fixed, you're going to have to upgrade to 0.22 anyway, so I'd upgrade and try to reproduce there. If its fixed, then party, if not, then at least you're running something MythTV devs actually care about fixing. :)<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Sounds like a plan. :-)<br><br>Regarding 0.21-fixes support, is there a stated policy about 0.21-fixes maintenance? For example, with Fedora, two releases are supported with security fixes and other critical issues. When F12 is released tomorrow, F10 will be unsupported within a few weeks, if I remember correctly. It would be nice for MythTV to have a statement regarding the support of older releases (i.e. critical bugs). Maybe the statement would be that only the latest -fixes branch is supported; everything else is EOL.<br>
<br>I found one page about Getting Support [1] and it only mentions IRC. The other relevant page seems to be the Community page [2].<br><br>/Brian/ <br><br>1. <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Getting_Support">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Getting_Support</a><br>
