This seems to imply a misunderstanding of how LiveTV functions.  LiveTV 
does *not* use MPlayer.  Myth starts LiveTV by making calls to functions 
inside Myth code which play back the LiveTV using Myth code (i.e. not by 
starting a separate program with a "command line").

Hope this helps--I haven't been following the thread.  If not, ignore me.
