#3487 closed defect (fixed)

SIGSEGV on livetv rewind.

Reported by: anonymous Owned by: skamithi
Priority: minor Milestone: unknown
Component: mythtv Version: head
Severity: medium Keywords:
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description (last modified by skamithi)

Tried this on three different machines with different hardware each. One Master Backend/Frontend? combo, one Slave Backend/Frontend? combo and one Frontend only. Same results. Running latest SVN

You start watching livetv and then rewind. When you get back to the beginning the Frontend crashes with a SIGSEGV.

GDB backtrace and mythfrontend --verbose playback follows. Nothing of interest on backend logs.

Mythtv start live tv, then rewind to beginning causes SIGSEGV

livetv is crashing cause it is transitioning to a previous program. decoder is reset and ringbuffer is deleted. potential fix is to stop sticky rew before the transition occurs. put this fix in NVP::ResetPlaying?()
