[mythtv-users] RE: mythfrontend setup for around $300 ??

I think I forgot to mention that I am recording audio in Mp3 format at quality level 4 (not sure if the quality level affects playback).

If you are concerned about video playback outside of mythtv recordings, I have to say that xboxmediaplayer is outstanding.  I've played back videos in divx 3.11, divx 5, xvid, mpeg2 etc with no problems at all.

Since xboxmediaplayer uses mplayer libraries for decoding, with the mplayer patch and a recompile it should be able to playback mythtv recorded files no problem.  Additionally, if someone was enterprising enough they could make xboxmediaplayer a true frontend for mythtv (would need to implement the network protocol as well as the mysql stuff).
