I haven't touched this code in VideoOutput, but this probably has
to do with some heuristic not being applied on aspect ratio changes
which is applied when the video starts with a specific aspect
ratio. You now always start playing a dummy recording in live tv
mode, so it may not have the same aspect ratio as the channel when
it eventually comes in.

Give 7376 a try.

Hmmm, I'll look into this. If you could figure out which commit caused
this it might help a great deal...

This looks like the problem Jon Whitear is experiencing. He
can't repeat it in gdb. But perhaps you can. If so just hit
Ctrl-C when the backend stops responding and send me the 
logs + the output of "thread apply all bt".

Meanwhile I'll look at why it appears you got two KillRingBuffer
commands in a row, this may be the cause of the problem.
