I'm ignoring the backend issue for now, and this ticket concerns the frontend deadlock only. Looking at the end of the attached log, the endless ""(SetDecoder) Player(1): Waited 10ms for decoder lock"" messages from Thread 1 suggest that it's spinning trying to acquire decoder_change_lock in MythPlayer::SetDecoder From the attached backtrace I think that decoder_change_lock is being held by Thread 5 which has passed through MythPlayer::DecoderGetFrame. I believe that thread 1 is holding osdLock, vidExitLock, and videofiltersLock (since it's executing the MythPlayer::~MythPlayer destructor) but Thread 5 is waiting for these same locks to complete the ReinitVideo call. Unfortunately I don't really grok this enough to produce a patch." Bug Report - Hang/Deadlock closed minor unknown MythTV - General 0.26-fixes medium Fixed 0
