It sounds like the same bug that I am running into. Try starting piave with :

piave -d -p 6100

And I am going to guess that the output ends at the same point as the debug 
output I posted a few messages ago did, namely :

frame.cc:769 INFO: allocating new DVFrame
avstream.cc:139 INFO: video:
avstream.cc:140 INFO:   system         : PAL
avstream.cc:141 INFO:   format         : 4:3
avstream.cc:145 INFO: audio:
avstream.cc:146 INFO:   frequency      : 32000
avstream.cc:147 INFO:   num_channels   : 2
avstream.cc:148 INFO:   quantization   : 12
avstream.cc:149 INFO:   emphasis       : off
avstream.cc:150 INFO:   sampling       : 2
Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

And it's REALLY annoying, because for a fleeting moment around midday, it was 
working like a dream :-)

Yes, it would. I have been contemplating the best way to do it though. For the 
moment, I can probably get away with a simple LED on the edit panel which 
goes from Red to green when the renderer connects.

I'll implement it and see what it looks like.

Cheers,
Jason
