Problem seems to have gone away. I think it's related to one of my monitors breaking down. I run a tri monitor setup, I run mythfrontend on one of the montiors. Anyway one of the monitors broke down, and mythfrontend crashes - until I removed the broken monitor and replaced it with a spare, and it worked fine afterwards. Don't ask me why...

Hmmm...

Very strange thing is happening. Have been using a mythfrontend on my main PC, playing video from the backend in the living room for 1 1/2 months without any problems, but now whenever I try to playback a recording, the computer totally crashes, absouletly nothing works - no mouse movement, not even the animated dockapps work, and the caps lock and scroll lock keyboard lights comes on which tells me it's probably a kernel panic but I'm really surprised a frontend could crash a computer that bad? Any ideas anyone? Looked in all kinds of logs on both machines, but doesn't seem to be anything leading to the error?


It isn't likely the frontend process crashing your computer but rather a hardware driver of some kind. You may want to run mythfrontend from a terminal window with full verbose debugging messages (-v all) and pipe the output to a file so you can see maybe what is happening. Also the /var/log/messages from the system should hold the kernel panic information...
