In mythtv/libs/libmythtv/tv_play.cpp is the code:

{{{
    if (prbuffer->isDVD())
    {
        VERBOSE(VB_PLAYBACK,LOC + "" StopStuff() -- get dvd player out of still frame or wait status"");
        prbuffer->DVD()->IgnoreStillOrWait(true);
    }
}}}

I don't know should it be always initialized or not and therefore don't know should we first check prbuffer value here or is bug somewhere else. I don't have DVD plugin installed.
