That helps a lot - at least I know I am not wasting my time - thanks.
mplayer locks up at the line "Setting up lirc" (or words like that).

Have not tried different options yet - though the -vo was being ignored in the 
mplayer-ivtv patched version I was using - currently the command I have is 
simply "mplayer -fs"

What player command do you have setup in mythvideo then? and what 
build/version/patch of the following do you use please:-

mplayer
ivtv

Thanks
