[mythtv-users] no playback

[Nick Bradaschia]

Hello.
I've searched the archives for the past week or so and google'd quite
a bit...still no answer.  Postin here as a last resort.

The Setup:
P4 2.8
1GB RAM
40B HD
ATI TV-Wonder VE (I think...it only has a mono output)
Fedora Core 2
MythTV Suite from APT-Package

The Issue (#1):
Installed all the packages, ran and setup mythtv.  
It connects to the net to pull the guide info.  It records.
It does not, however, playback any video  or live tv w/in mythtv.  I
can play recorded videos by going to the terminal and manually telling
mplayer to play (i.e. mplayer video.nuv).  When I attempt to play a
video w/in the myth front end, all I get is a blank screen and I must
ESC out.
Has anyone encountered this issue?  If so, were you able to resolve it
and how? :)

The Issue (#2):
As in #1, I can play back recorded video clips through terminal.  When
I do play back the videos, the quality is attrocious.  It is very
noisy black and white.  The cable from my wall jack is being directly
plugged into the computer.  I've tried this at different houses even
to ensure the problem was consistant.
Any info on this one?

Thanks for all the help!
