I have the same problem as Steve with my dual-processor & PVR350 TV-out setup. I usually get freezes within the first 10 minutes of playback.
When I remove one of my processors (same vanilla 2.6.14 kernel w/ SMP & PREEMPT) this doesn't happen.
Curiously, when it freezes during playback in myth, if I press "save position," it saves the position, displays some stuff on the OSD, and then unfreezes & continues playback 10 minutes downstream (hopefully this means something to someone).
John, I tried your tests (an hour each) and here are the results:
1) Decoder-only: no crashes 2) Decoder & Encoder: no crashes 3) Decoder & FB updates: no crashes 4) Decoder & Encoder & FB: no crashes
So, inconclusive... If there's any other tests you would like for me to run, I offer up my time to help diagnose.

I tried to provide enough detail to solicit some help but nobody has responded. I think I have done enough debugging to narrow the problem down to the ivtv driver and based on that have filed abug report (#53) in the Trac system. Ticket URL: http://ivtvdriver.org/trac/ticket/53 You can find my previous posts to ivtv-users here: & If I need to post somewhere else, let me know where. If you need more infomation "". Yesterday I went so far as to disable tvout, and not load ivtv-fb and just playback directly to my monitor without using framebuffer or xdriver. When I did this I was able to playback a two hour movie without any freezes. This to me indicates the problem is somewhere in either the framebuffer or xdriver interface. I would like to do whatever I can to support the development of this project, I am willing and able to capture any kind of debug information that might be requested. Are there any develpers out there that have any interest in this failure? It may be specific to smp cores, I don't know how many are developing systems with smp processors. Regards,
Steve Regards,
