I've had an experience that might shed some light. Basically - That video file has got a tiny error in it - Some of the frames gets decoded into such form that it causes buffer underrun (or some other problem with the frame) - Xv forwards it happily to the display drivers for handling the video overlay - Part of the display drivers locks/whatever as the incoming data is rubbish
It takes some good X.org developer and with a lot of debug data (drivers that log what is happening + syncs the log before taking the actual actions) to pinpoint the problem. Or something similar. These bugs are really common, the x video overlay stuff is basically plain USSR and have not received the love they would have deserved. It might be a bug for mplayer/mythtv. It is for sure *always* a bug for xorg if any video can mess up xorg/drivers. -- mplayer with xv crashes system on specific file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
