Matt,<br><br>If you roll back to 13764 do you still have the issue? There are have been two (2) recent ffmpeg sync's one at revision 13655 which introduced an audio through a blender type sound because AC3 decoding was moved internally to ffmpeg from liba52. Then a second ffmpeg sync was done on 13765 to resolve the audio issues created by 13655. Since 13765 mythfrontend crashes after playing a a fraction to a few seconds of audio. I haven't had time to build a debug release yet and get a ticket filed because I am still trying to convince the wife that this is worth my time and the more time it is broken that worse my cause :). So to get my system working well again I recompile with the following additional configure options: --enable-liba52 --enable-liba52bin --disable-decoder=ac3 --enable-decoder=liba52. These move AC3 decoding out to the external liba52 to do audio decoding this requires that you have a52dec installed on your system. I hope this has been helpful and look forward to see if this helps solve your problem?
<br><br>Thanks,<br>Ben<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/27/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Matt</b> <<a href="mailto:skd5aner@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

<br>><br>><br>> Thanks!<br>> Matt<br>><br><br>Just rolled back to 13635 - and the issue disappeared. This<br>eliminates the upgraded Alsa version as the cause. I suspect this is<br>due to the recent ffmpeg sync. Please let me know what I can do to

If I don't receive any feedback on the list, I'll submit a bug<br>report.<br><br>Thanks!<br>Matt<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
