Can you provide a backtrace with the latest SVN, plus the logs from 'mythbackend -v record,channel' and 'mythfrontend -v playback'.

And please use 'Attach File'.

I attached the new backtrace and log files as requested. The backtrace was done against svn version 8817.

Harley, please try the attached.

I believe the problem is that a LIVETV_CHAIN message is still being processed after the NVP is deleted. In the patch I used the osdlock to avoid this happening. This lock is always locked while the NVP is deleted because the OSD gets deleted when the NVP is, if this is the problem here as well this should fix it (at least if you don't have a PiP NVP on screen; we don't use its OSD, so I don't know if the locking applies there).

The patch seems to have fixed it. I have been watching live tv for an hour now entering and exiting many times and it has not crashed once yet. Should probably test it for a little longer to make sure but it looks good. Thanks for the help Daniel.

(In [8848]) Fixes #1159.

Another segfault bites the dust. :)

This has Couple additional fixes to the patch I added to the ticket earlier, the pipnvp is now also protected by the osdlock.

What was happening was that an event using the nvp was being processed while the nvp was being deleted...
