Thanks for the email and reminding me the number of times Sebastian has
told me to do this (though he suggested level 3). Clearly I need
reminders of this on a regular basis! Anyway, this has been hugely
successful – the GStreamer issue was it was trying to start a GL
pipeline when such a pipeline is inappropriate on this hardware, and
indeed fails (*). Why this has come up now is to do with a Debian
upgrade, and a change in the driver set, coupled with a change those
changes make in the way this laptop reboots. I already had a --no-gl
option to force not using a GL pipeline, but I haven't had to use it on
this hardware before.

So now I have stuff working, it is on to the more enjoyable stuff of
finding code to deal with the new situation so the explicit option is
not needed.

And then back to the head banging of trying to get EPG data. :-)

Thanks again for the impetus to get past the "brick wall". Much
appreciated. 


(*) I am going to have to find a nicer way of terminating for the final
release version.
