[mythtv-users] Myth Frontend Crashing

[Michael Wisniewski]

I'm having a problem where mythfrontend is crashing every now and then.  It
happened yesterday, then again today.

Since I've never really "debugged" myth before, I don't know what I'm
looking for.  I'm running it on Mythbuntu 14.04.2 and have all the latest
patches applied.  I'm running myth
"0.27.4+fixes.20150601.b7afc9b-0ubuntu0mythbuntu4".

The thing in the logs that seems to be common is the following line:

VDPAU: Error at mythrender_vdpau.cpp:1562 (#3, An invalid handle value was
provided.)

I'm not sure what this means or why this is coming up.  A bigger snapshot
of the logs is below:
