Linux VDPAU Crashing XBMC on Mythtv PVR channel selection
#1
This is driving me nuts. It was an intermittent problem before, but I believe something upgraded in the last few days and now the XBMC/MythTV PVR is unusable. Attempting to play a channel or a recording causes XBMC to crash.

############### END LOG FILE ################

I am running XBMC and MythBackend on the same box. It is a Core i5 2400 and I'm using the built in Intel 4000 graphics. I've bumped the video memory allocation up near maximum. I'm baffled why VDPAU is even figuring into the equation since I don't have an nvidia card within 50 feet of this computer. Furthermore, there is no option to enable/disable VAAPI or VDPAU in Settings->Video, and when I attempt to disable directly in ~/.xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml it reverts as soon as xbmc restarts.

Lastly, everything else works fine on this xbmc set up. I can play every other media. It's only Live TV.

EDITTED TO ADD: I turned on debug mode and was actually able to change the channel a few times before it died. Full crashlog here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5695606/

Does this happen with 12.2?

I'll downgrade tonight and see if it's the alpha build that is causing this.

That fixed it. Downgrading borked my install and I had to rebuild from scratch.
