Here's the further debug information, very odd, don't remember setting anything to nvida, nowhere near, but look at the last line, where would I adjust that? Thanks!

Notably it seems that I can record because I can see the show previewed in a small window (in my theme, below the listing of recorded shows) before attempting to watch it (I haven't been able to play recordings using Myth or mplayer, either with transcoding (mpeg4) or without - straight .nuv file) When I attempt to play back the recording with Myth, I get a lockup, with Mplayer, I get some attempt to load codecs, but it exits very quickly. After a mythtv lockup, I cannot do anything but reset the system, SSHing in doesn't work (in fact, I often have to reset twice to get a boot).

I assume that I could have a problem with my sound (sblive), but I have at times disabled it (mythtv asks if I want to proceed without sound (I had difficulty initially getting the sound devices to be rw for users on reboot), and when I proceed, it crashes the computer in the same way that it did with the sound enabled (perhaps this is just the fact that myth crashes without sound working).

Myth doesn't necessarily crash without sound, but Myth is very likely to experience problems (which may even result in crashing) on a system whose sound is not properly configured. My recommendation is to fix the sound issue and see if that fixes the playback issue.

How do I know when I have Sound working correctly? Is it When I can perform the test listed in the documentation - Troubleshooting Audio section, which says to play xawtv and use aplay /dev/dsp to output the audio?

OK. I thought you were saying it's not working and sometimes you said yes and sometimes you said no to the prompt about continuing without sound. So, if it doesn't ask you whether to continue without sound when sound is "enabled," you should be OK.

Therefore, it's probably a video output issue.

I captured this through a ssh connection:

What is going on at the time of the last line?

Nothing much. That's not an error, just a configuration notice. Don't worry about it (at least, not at this point).

I assume that that would point to what is crashing the system.

No.  Something else.

I understand that that's not an error, but if I knew what was going on in the order of execution at that point, I thought maybe I could direct my troubleshooting more easily.

At the level of logging you've chosen (default), it could be any of a number of things. To get more detailed info from the logging, use a command like:

mythfrontend -v playback

or

mythfrontend -v all

Also, search the lists. It seems like at least one person per week starts a new thread about LiveTV crashing after 1 second or something like that.

HTH,
Mike
