[mythtv] XVMC-VLD Seg Fault when watching live or recorded

[Myles Eftos]

Hi,

I haven't been able to get live to tv to work with the XVMC-VLD driver
since 0.16. I just updgraded to 0.18 and I get the same problem.

I can watch  DVDs, videos and even live dvb streams perfectly (4-10%
CPU usage) using xine with the XVMC-VLD driver, so I'm pretty sure my
setup is correct. Running myth without the XVMC-VLD driver displays
the live tv, but it is choppy - I guess becasue the CPU is maxed out
trying to decode the string.

this is all the output I can get from gdb (running mythfrontend -v all)

The nVidia reference concerns me a bit, My configuration string is as follows:

./configure --disable-joystick-menu --disable-lirc --disable-ivtv
--enable-xvmc-vld --enable-opengl-vsync --enable-proc-opt --enable-dvb
--enable-dvb-eit --compile-type=debug

Let me know if you need more info.

Any ideas?

Much appreciated,

Myles
