Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mplayer
I occassionally get a total system freeze (i.e. hard reboot required)
when watching video. E.g. watching movies embedded in websites (e.g.
discgolftv.com) and watching movies in Totem movie player.
I get very frequent system freezes when watching video via my Hauppauge
TV tuner card and the MPlayer movie player. Following instructions from
linuxtv.org, I use tzap to tune a dvb-t station and then launch mplayer
/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0. Generally lasts between 5 secs and 5 minutes
before a freeze occurs.
It is only watching video that a freeze will occur. I never have had a
freeze in any other scenario.
Currently running with the NV driver. I have tried restricted drivers
however the same result applies.
Looking at other system freeze cases, I tried disabling
/etc/init.d/powernowd but it did not solve the issue.
ASUS A7V266-E motherboard.
NVidia GeForce 7600GS AGP graphics card.
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1300 TV tuner.
mplayer media player.
Not sure what information is required so I have taken a stab. If there
is anything that needs to be collected please just let me know.
