What do you mean by searching?

There are some specific actions that can consistently provoke a reboot 
(like viewing a badly formatted JPEG), but no, normally mvpmc runs quite 
stable for MythTV operations.

Are you referring to the MythTV front-end feature where you can stop 
watching a show part way through, return to the show listings or even 
exit the front-end, and some time layer play that same show again, and 
it will resume from where you left off?

If so, mvpmc doesn't automatically support that feature. (Even the real 
MythTV front-end only does that automatically if so configured.) 
Currently you need to manually bookmark your position by pressing the 
yellow button on the remote, and waiting for an on-screen acknowledgment 
before stopping/exiting the video playback. Then to resume you start 
playback and press the blue button on the remote. (However there is a 
bug that causes the resume point to be wrong. I'm not sure if the fix 
for this made it into the nightlies yet.) The bookmark feature is 
documented on the wiki. It does depend on a direct database connection.

I'd like to see us add an option for automatic saving of position, but 
the feature needs to be debugged a bit more, and it needs to be made 
faster. On my system there is a delay of tens of seconds from the button 
press to the OSD acknowledgment. There a lot of latency in something...

What happens when you try to use the Live TV feature?

Try telneting to the MVP, kill the mvpmc process, and start it manually 
from the command line (with the same options you use in your startup 
script). Capture the debug output while attempting to use Live TV and 
post it.
