[mythtv-users] Stable backend and frontend suddenly giving "prebuffer wait timed out.."

[Wayne Hogue]

I have run the same setup since Jun 1 when I installed 0.15.   Now 
tonight I suddenly can playback recorded shows on one of my frontends.  
(other frontend works fine).  I turned on logging and I see the 
following on the frontend:

I have made no changes to the software or database.  The database 
settings table shows last modification time was last week.

Any ideas?

TIA
