Attached above is a backtrace (hopefully done properly) of mythtv-setup and the segfault that I get when doing a channel scan with my Avermedia A180. To achieve that, all I did was enter into mythtv-setup and do a channel scan of existing transports; the segfault occurs any time myth actually finds a channel and locks onto it during the scanning.

All my existing QAM channels work fine in Myth, I simply cannot scan for new ones or make changes. I tried using "scan" to see if it might be a problem with my card, but it worked fine. I was able to create a full, working channels.conf without problem. I also tried making a new myth database from scratch to see if maybe it was some weird config issue on my end, but I got the same problem.

I believe this has been going on ever since I upgraded to trunk 0.21.20070905-1, 14446M from 0.20.0 or thereabouts. At the very least, I know that since it was working the only changes I have made to this system are with upgrading Myth. No kernel/driver upgrades for my DVB card or anything else. Thanks for looking into this.

I'm the original reporter of this ticket. My trouble seems to be related to using VNC for scanning channels and lots of X11-errors that are generated by the scanner. Also, when using a real display (i.e. without vnc), the scanner crashes about once in ten times, though I've not been able to get a backtrace as it doesn't seem to crash when running in GDB (at least after 20 times it didn't).

I just upgraded to trunk as of a few days ago, and my channel scanning issue is fixed.
