"Can you play videos from the command line outside Myth with the same
flags that you use or are you refering to recorded shows you would like
to watch after they have been recorded through the internal viewer? Any
error messages? Crashes? Which player do you use, Xine or mplayer?"

The video's all exist on the backend and are viewable/playable from there.

I do get an error message now that you mention it and I took a look, duh!

It appears that it can't find the file because it is looking on it's
own drive instead of looking to the backend (/video/videos/?

It say's "file not found: ' /video/videos/short_game.vob'"

How can I fix that? 

Also, are you able to run MythGame on our FE? Xmame?

Thanks,
