Hello experts,<br><br>I've been having problems with playback of a recorded show. I have tried to look into mythtv trac, google, mythtv mailing lists - no luck so far. It looked as a duplicate of some OS X related bugs, but I was not able to solve it via recommended workaround. (some of these bugs are already fixed since 0.21).<br>
<br>I am having problems when playing a show recorded from dvb-t. The television broadcasts in 720x576. The recording begins at 16:9 (commercials) and then switches to 4:3. In that moment, the myth frontend freezes for a while (5-20s) and then returns to menu with message 'need to change video renderer'.<br>
<br>I have tried to tweak settings - resolutions, renderes (VPDAU, CPU+ CPU++ etc), no luck. I am pretty stuck now.<br><br>The backed runs on ubuntu-9.10, mythtv version 0.22.0+fixes23230-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu3<br>Fronted is on OS X 10.5.8, fronted version 0-22-fixes-20100124_Rev.23230 (thanks to <a href="http://sniderpad.com">sniderpad.com</a>).<br>
<br>The log from fronted (from start to the failure) is below.<br><br>If someone knows a workaround, please help!<br><br>Thanks a lot,<br>JetPac<br><br>the log file:<br>2010-01-25 21:45:02.456 MythFrontend version: branches/release-0-22-fixes [23230] <a href="http://www.mythtv.org">www.mythtv.org</a><br>
