8850	SVQ3 (Sorenson 3) Codec Fails on Multi-Core Systems	pebender@…	Janne Grunau	"When attempting to use MythVideo to play a MOV file containing SVQ3 encoded video, the internal player fails (on MythTV 0.22 fixes mythfrontend crashes and on MythTV 0.23 mythfrontend returns to the video selection screen). As far as I can tell, the problem is that the SVQ3 codec does not suppport multi-thread decoding (and exits with a return value of -1) yet MythTV configures for multi-thread decoding when there are multiple cores available anyway.

I have attached patches for MythTV 0.22 fixes, MythTV 0.23 fixes and trunk. They force threading to 1 when the codec is SVQ3. This may not be the best fix, but I did it because it works for me on my MythTV 0.23 system (I have tested it on MythTV 0.23 fixes not on MythTV 0.22 or MythTV trunk)."	defect	closed	minor	unknown	MythTV - Video Playback	0.23-fixes	medium	Fixed			0
