<div>I've just installed myth frontend (0.28) on a new laptop
running ubuntu 16.04. Installation seemed to go OK and
connected to the backend without any problems.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, when I choose 'Live TV' from the main frontend
screen myth frontend stops running, no video is shown but I
can hear the audio from the TV show. Same thing happens if I
choose to watch a recording or watch a video!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I can restart Myth frontend again and if I choose Live TV
again the same thing happens - i.e. frontend shuts down, I see
no video, but can hear the tv channel's audio stream (albeit a
second or so out of sync with the first instance of the audio
stream!).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've had a look through settings and can see that my
default player (in media settings) is set to 'Internal'.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any one else seen this and managed to get it resolved?</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>

I have seen this before, in my case it was due to the "Video
Playback Profile". <br>
<br>
This is most easily checked using the the "Setup Wizard", by
selecting the appropriate Video Playback Profile and running the
tests ("Test Standard Definition" and "Test High Definition"),
making sure to select "Finish" when done.<br>
<br>
There is another setting to check, depending which theme you are
running, that is in Setup>General Appearance>Paint Engine,
recommendation is Auto, but it could be set to Qt.<br>
<br>
On a final note, when you installed mythfrontend did you do it after
adding the mythbuntu ppa (this keeps you up to date with changes/bug
fixes to mythtv 0.28) or just install without adding the ppa (this
gets you the version in ubuntu repositories which is old).<br>
If you have not added the ppa, I suggest you do so in a terminal as
follows:<br>
<pre class="command subordinate" id="yui_3_10_3_1_1505383864973_70">sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.28
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
and then restart mythfrontend
