I have a problem with mythfrontend in Oneiric installed from Mythbuntu. I cannot watch TV after few minutes because of lots of artifacts. I have a Hauppauge 1300 DVB-T tuner and MPEG-4 compression is used. Signal is OK because I can watch in VLC wihtout problems. There are in logs many entries like:

2012-02-16 20:20:10.693 [h264 @ 0x4430bb40]Missing reference picture
2012-02-16 20:20:10.704 [h264 @ 0x4430bb40]mmco: unref short failure

2012-02-16 20:20:10.796 [h264 @ 0x4430bb40]illegal short term buffer state detected

It can be a ffmpeg issue but how to install current/updated ffmpeg that will meet mythbuntu dependencies?

Probably better suited to the Mythbuntu Forums where people can narrow down the problem over the course of some time/posts. This doesn't look like something we'll be able to work out from the information posted, and we could be back and forth for quite some time.. – Caesium Feb 19 '12 at 17:06
