pause a DVD for a long period of time will cause the frontend to die eventually

[Doug Goldstein <cardoe@…>]

So I was watching a DVD (I've tested this on multiple DVDs and it's reproducible 100% of the time), ended up pausing it to make dinner. By the time I got back the DVD drive had spun down. I hit play and it played maybe 1/2 second and then hung while the drive spun up. Then it started playing and the audio was terribly desync'd from the video. I paused it then hit play. It helped. I did this a few times but the audio never sync'd 100% with the video. The log was spitting out the following:

Eventually after enough pause/play sequences it stopped spitting that out. But the video was still off (slightly) from the audio.. then when it hit the next chapter I got this.

Which repeated until I killed the frontend.

Log of Apollo 13 playing

[Doug Goldstein <cardoe@…>]

Attached is a low showing the DVD aspect dying in yet another way. I popped Apollo 13 in, it played the first preview track and I hit fast forward until it reached the end. I went to a blank screen. I let it run for nearly 2 hrs sitting at the black screen before I hit stop. It never recovered from the black screen, despite the log saying it was. Required a kill $(pidof mythfrontend)

Can you reproduce with current trunk?
