It's trying to do a live preview on something I downloaded from the net and imported through myth.rebuilddatabase but the avi decoder is in an endless loop on a zero length packet. That's odd. I've never had a problem playing an imported avi, only previewing.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>FWIW the NVP playing code is fine. I can see that it has been signalled to exit (killplayer == true) but never gets to the top of its loop because several stack frames below GetFrame is this endless decoder loop.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I checked gossamer for hits on avi and preview and saw a recent post where you don't want to look at avi preview bugs because myth doesn't write avi files. That's cool. I'll move all my avi files over to mythvideo and call it a day.<br><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>- George</div></div></body></html>
