[mythtv-users] Mythbackend / PVR-250 hangs

Mine has shown similar behaviour for the last week only mine crashes.
But it seems to be the same thing: 2 shows with only minutes between
them and it always crashes only a few seconds into the second show.

Even weirder: if I try to play the broken file the frontend crashes as
well!

I'm running with the VIA mpeg decoding though, so I figured that had
something to do with it.

When I have some time I'll try to debug it.
