Bug Description

Binary package hint: mythtv

When I choose 'watch tv' it looks like it is going to lock and show me a channel, but before it does I get logged out and have to log back in.

I've tried a new install of Ubuntu 10.10, and still the problem persists on mythtv.

Howdy, and thank you for helping to improve MythTV and Ubuntu by opening this ticket. Others that have encountered a similar problem have noticed that changing playback profiles to one that does NOT use XvMC has resolved this issue. Could you please try that, and perhaps other profile options, and report back?

Thanks!

Thanks so much MarcRandolph! I didn't even think to check the Playback profiles. I just selected the VDPAU High Quality, and all worked perfectly now.

Thanks again! You saved me a lot of frustrated nights.

Have a good one!

This sounds to me like a duplicate of Bug 660833, so I'm marking it as such. Feel free to change it if you disagree... I'm just trying to keep this issue organized since some helpful comments are popping up in different places. Thanks for the tip about not using XvMC, Marc, I'll be sure to try that when I get home.
