[mythtv] frontend hang info

[Scott D. Davilla]

I've been slowly tracking a frontend hang with XvMC enabled (mfe and 
mbe are at svn 14938) on a resource limited x86 platform. My next 
step was to profile (via opcontrol) a hang to try and see where each 
thread was waiting.

First observation was that --compile-type=profile does not seem to 
work anymore in that the routine symbols are not present. Has the 
preferred method of profiling changed? If so what is the preferred 
method?

So I change to --compile-type=debug. That got me symbols and the 
second observation -- the frontend does not hang anymore. Normally it 
will hang after a few hours of continuous LiveTV display of 1080i HD 
content. So far, it's been running over 12 hours without hang and a 
second problem of random vnidia green screen corruption is also gone.

Since these two problems also occur in mplayer, it seems to point to 
some issue with ffmpeg as both mythtv and mplayer use ffmpeg. Does 
anyone have any clues to help me track this down.


Thanks
Scott
