Workaround: Mythtv-Light v34 Segfault on RPI5 Bookworm

[bauner]

Since I received my Pi 5 a few days ago I try to use it as Mythtv Backend + Frontend to replace my Pi 4.

On the Pi5 the frontend will not start and I get the following output from mythbackend -v

Code: Select all

Using the same sdcard in my Pi4 will work without problems.

I also tried to build mythtv-light and non light debs myself on the Pi 5 with the same error.
I think it is because of the missing /dev/vchiq on the Pi 5.

I also tested Ubuntu 23.10 with mythbuntu v34 (also with no /dev/vchiq) and there the frontend is working without problems.

Update 13.11.23
Backtrace:
https://pastebin.com/ShkS9jtE

Update 2:
The frontend works with disabled libcec
As workaround you can start it with

Code: Select all

mythfrontend -O libCECEnabled=0

Update 3:
Seems to got fixed with the latest Raspberry Pi OS updates

You can try the command line option "-platform xcb" for mythfrontend. This does sometimes solve wayland-related issues on playback. Of course, mythfrontend should not crash but the RPi5 is a new platform and there could be fixes needed in mythtv.

Thanks for your answer.
I have tried all possible -platform options on a wayland and also X11 session.

I always get the same error and the fronted will not start
