There is a known problem with pthreads in Debian based AMD64 systems.
I have installed the patch, and I no longer get the black screen /
failed live-tv viewing. Here is a link with some more info, and a
MythTV patch to work around it:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/03/msg00940.html
Based on all the search hits I got on this issue, I know it has
frustrated others, and I certainly spent a lot of time diagnosing it.
It would be nice to have some sort of method to help people with
these, and other, known issues. Such as: a support
document/database listing issues per platform; A check in 'configure'
that does a "if arch=athlon64 and distro=debian then warn user about
problem he will definitely have but is hard to solve"; or some
#ifdef's in the code to incorporate the workaround for the problem
cases.
Is this something that anyone has seen on AMD64 and FC3? I've got .18.1
up and running (sort of) on FC3. Records and such just fine, but live TV
playback gives me the color key error, then the following, and craps
out. It might play about 1 or 2 seconds of video prior to dying. I've
tried XvMC, libmpeg, OpenGL sync, video sync (experimental) to see if it
was some combo of options. Another thing I'm noticing is that there are
a lot of QT errors after the latest update I did. Finally, this is the
latest 2.6.12 kernel from fedora. Is this the same issue or am I seeing
something else?
