Chris, I got around to trying that patch tonight, but it did not fix the problem. It seemed promising at first, because doing random commercial skips was not causing playback to stop. Then I did some manual 10-minute jumps, and it locked every time consistently when doing it. However, every time it also let me pause/unpause it. After a minute or so of trying to get the commercial skips to lock it afterward, I won. It locked, plus no response from the frontend.
I'll try out anything else you want to throw at me. Thanks for the efforts! ~Lou P.S. Is this a problem with the combination of using the decoder and framebuffer?
