Does it happen for stuff that is already finished recording? I had
that same symptom, but it only happened if I watched livetv or a
recording in progress. I switched myth to use the "Always stream from
the backend" setting in myth and it seemed to have fixed that problem.

However, it seems that since I enabled that, I have been having more
problems where myth occasionally just hangs at a black screen for
30-60 second while trying to start playback on a recording, or when
changing channels in live tv. It could just be coincidence, but I
finally turned that setting back off last night to see if it fixes it.
