[mythtv-users] mythfrontend crashes

Dave

Not sure if this helps, but I had similar problem which was related to using
the kernel deinterlacer. By disabling the deinterlacer and using the custom
filters
entry for deinterlacing this solved all my problems. There was a bug which
caused
the deinterlacer to crash when it was not passed explicit prameters.

Have a look at the Myth install guide on how to enter custom video filters.
