 Mark, this is unrelated to any issues you may have with XVideo output.
 This ticket is for a PVR-350 only problem.

 Jason, I've discovered a freeze culprit. OpenFile() sometimes fails to
 find an IvtvDecoder it can use so it returns an AvFormatDecoder instead.
 If this happened at startup things would be ok, we'd just use the PVR-
 350's XVideo output support with VideoOutputXv. But when this happens
 after we have a VideoOutputIVTV running it gets stuck as soon as the
 AvFormatDecoder asks for a decoding buffer, because VideoOutputIVTV has
 none to spare...

 I don't know if this is your freeze culprit, but if you attach the
 'mythfrontend -v playback' log to the ticket, from an instance of this, I
 could check.

 Please use the 'Attach File' button on this page, don't cut and paste
 fragments of the log into the ticket's text.
