(Happened While Watching Recorded TV Show)mythfrontend.real crashed with SIGSEGV in AvFormatDecoder::GetFrame()

[Grayson Peddie]

Binary package hint: mythtv

When I watch Cops that I have recorded last night, about halfway through the show when a commercial is showing, MythTV segfaults. I repeated it like about 5 times already and I'm trying to get around a bad frame.

I could attribute this to losing signal since I have my antenna connected to my ATSC TV tuner.

This is very similar to that of Bug #74299 but since this bug report is 3 years old, I may have to just submit a duplicate just in case.

If the frontend are to get a bad frame, it could ignore the frame, skip to the next frame, and if it encounters a bad frame again, repeat the skipping until the frontend finds a next good frame and continue playback.
