That brings up a good point it seems that playing HD content on Mythfrontend
seems to be a 50-50 shot for most people do you think that maybe people like
me that are running a backend/frontend could be the ones that are having
problems with playback? It could make some sense since Myth is already doing
so much on the box although I would think the problem really still lies with
the mythfrontend itself since xine can run it no problems.
