Can you post some logs (using '-v playback') of files that play and
files that don't? - particularly those that crash.

Also, if you haven't done so already, try playing back some of the
failed files using the mythtv binary rather than mythfrontend - you
should have more success.

What exactly do you mean by all white? (photo?)
