[mythtv-users] Broken DVD playback - pink screen

Hi

I seem to have broken DVD playback on my frontend. When I try to play
a DVD I get a very long pause, then a magenta screen with the word
"play" in the top-right corner. If I press enter at this point the
system thinks it's playing the disk. I can do chapter navigation, skip
forward and back, even display subtitles, but I just have the magenta
screen - no video or sound.

Live TV, recordings and video files play fine.

Things I have changed recently which may have broken this:

 - I rebuilt mythplugins because I needed to add mythcontrols.
Mythvideo must have built OK because I can play video files.

- I've just upgraded my backend to Ubuntu 8.10. I don't see how this
could affect DVD playback on the frontend though.

- (Most likely) It's possible that I may have changed a random useful
looking setting that broke everything. I have a habit of doing this!

I would be very grateful if someone can tell me what I might have done
to break this.

I'm using mythplugins-0.21.0+fixes16838 taken from the Ubuntu Gutsy
repos. I've attached the relevant bit of log output. It's got lots of
errors in it, but I'm not sure what's relevant. My frontend is a VIA
EPIA EX10000EG.

Thanks!

Olly
