It might be useful to point out that the error message comes from mpeg2.c, which (I think) is part of libmpeg2. It was my understanding, reading the release notes, that libmpeg2 would no longer be used in 0.25. Could there be some sort of configuration problem?

The following sequence triggers a backend crash every time: 1. Start watching livetv on firewire input 2. Change channel (first channel change works fine) 3. Change channel again (now backend crashes) I believe this problem is present with scheduled recordings as well, as I have had a few missed recordings on the firewire input (but most of my recordings are on my HVR-1600 QAM tuner, so I am not certain - happy to test) When the crash happens, mythfrontend reports an "irrecoverable recorder error" and the backend restarts (actually appears to restart a couple of times?)
