All works well using the OpenGL painter, but it fails when using the Qt painter. Behaviour is different depending on the platform used. On Ubutu 12.04 it crashes almost immediately as the artwork image is being displayed. On mac with Qt 4.8,4, the image isn't displayed and it shows a black spot where the image should be. It will crash later however in MythQtPainter::DeletePixmaps when the notification screen disappear from the display. The common problem is the MythUIMage was created using a QImage and not a path or a URL to the image. Directly a QImage. The MythUIImage got an image assigned as follow: {{{ // We don't have a path to the image, but the image itself MythImage *img = new MythImage(m_artworkImage->GetPainter()); img->Assign(m_image); m_artworkImage->SetImage(img); img->DecrRef(); }}} where m_artworkImage is the MythUIImage obtained with: {{{ m_artworkImage = dynamic_cast(GetChild(""image"")); }}} see: https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/libs/libmythui/mythnotificationcenter.cpp#L322 Attached are the two backtraces: one on ubuntu 12.04, the other on mac " Bug Report - General closed blocker 0.27 MythTV - General Master Head medium fixed 0
