fyi for anyone running the latest xbmc builds from cvs... python seems to be a bit unstable at higher resolutions. i traced down where xbmc was hanging for me and it turns out it was hanging in mythtvgui.disconnectfrommythtv. after commenting out all the code in the method, i was able to get to the point where i could watch a recorded show. however, after getting into the show details screen, i was unable to back out to the previous screen. the same thing happened when i went into the program guide screen.
when i changed xbmc to run in ntsc 4:3 instead my default of 720p 16:9, i had no problem going back and forth between the various screens. i've had some visualization lockups in 720p mode (more frequent lockups in 1080i) mode so i'm guessing xbmc is running into memory issues which is trashing python.
