[mythtv-users] Strange "watch recordings" problem

[Michael J. Lynch]

Hi all,

I checked the archives and googled for the following problem and found a 
couple of threads that reference the problem but found no suggested 
solutions.

I'm having a bit of a strange problem with "watch recordings".  I create 
a recording at 400x400 using the MPEG4 encoder with a bit rate of 5500.  
If I "watch" the recording in "full screen" (640x480) mode, the screen 
is blank but the audio is fine.  If I change the GUI size to something 
like 400x400 everything works fine.  Here's were it gets weird.  My 
"LiveTV" recording profile is set up the same as my "Default" recording 
profile and watching live TV in full screen mode works just fine.  
Additionally, if I pause live TV and then resume it, it too works fine 
in full screen mode.  When video fails to be displayed, I have noticed 
that I'm getting messages from mythfrontend.

I believe this is the cause of the problem but am baffled as to why they 
are occurring and/or what to do to correct the problem.  Anyone have any 
ideas?

BTW - System is 733 Mhz Pentium III with 384M running Redhat Fedora Core 
2 and MythTV 0.15.
