[mythtv-users] Debugging frontend freeze -- baby steps

Hi,
I haven't had much luck (OK, zero responses, but I'm not complaining ;-)
to my earlier queries about my frontend freeze problem. Googling
around, trawling through Trac, etc., have been largely fruitless.
Rather than search for an answer or a direct match to my problem, I'm
hoping I can get some clues so I can try to root around and work out a
solution.
If someone could please enlighten me, just a little bit, on the
following question, I'd be very grateful!
Is there a general description of what these mythfrontend messages mean,
and what might be some possible underlying causes?
2005-11-27 22:18:08.732 Waited too long for decoder to pause
2005-11-27 22:18:09.184 Waited too long for video out to pause
For what it's worth, there are usually a bunch of the "...video out to
pause" messages for each "decoder to pause" message. It usually
happens, for me, after livetv has been paused for a while. And perhaps,
after the pause, attempting to rewind.
Sometimes the frontend comes back to life after a very long freeze.
Sometimes the whole thing degenerates into a bunch of mpeg decode errors.
Anyway, hoping to get some clues that might help guide my
experimentation (e.g., trying a different filesystem, a different
kernel, a different version of mythtv, a particular debugging flag and
experiment, etc.)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
john
