Re: [mythtv-users] Live & Recorded TV hangs & failures on amd64
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.

Re: [mythtv-users] Live & Recorded TV hangs & failures on amd64
I am seeing very similar behavior on my Ubuntu x86-64 box (I sent a
message about it yesterday).
I have around a 20% success rate for getting video when starting the
front end and going to live tv. Most of the time it just hangs in
black screen. The backend appears to be working, as I can view the
video in the ringbuf using vlc or mplayer. It's just the connection
to the frontend that appears to be messed up.
I also googled a couple more reports of behavior like this with x86-64 boxes..
Other than this, MythTV has been excellent for me.

[mythtv-users] Live & Recorded TV hangs & failures on amd64
I have setup a new amd64 3200+ with debian etch (testing) as a remote
frontend. I am using the subversion trunk. In general I am getting
very strange things happening. I am using a 2.6.12 kernel.
Some of the problems include, when selecting to watch live tv, myth
will hang on a black screen, and stay hung. No verbose output, just
hangs. Same problem with watching recordings.
Some times it does produce verbose output:
