[mythtv-users] Problem accessing files on remote backend

Dear List
I've built another mythsetup for remote playback of recording on my
backend. I followed Jarod's guide and at the mythsetup stage simply
set the IP address of the remote backend.
When i run the local frontend it loads and displays the recording and
even get the preview thumbnails.
However, when I click one of the file to watch it the screen flashes
to a black and back to the recording list.
Can anyone offer a crumb or a clue.
Mal.

The only other thing I can offer is that the simple mplayer test [from
Jarod's guide] also fails. This is probably related the the ATI
drivers i installed so I can get TVout running.
