[mythtv-users] ERROR was encountered while displaying video

Can you play a video stored on the HD?

Looks like you have a few configuration errors (themes and fonts not
installed)
I think NVP has to do with your NVidia card, perhaps it's configured wrong?

Have you tried using mplayer to ensure your DCV-C is installed/configured
properly?
i.e.    mplayer /dev/video0

Sorry I can't be more help, I'm not yet a MythTV expert.
