Hi Mike,

I had such issue when migrated to 0.24 & Storage groups. But after the
init script was updated with this code the issue was resolved

script
        test -f /etc/default/locale && . /etc/default/locale || true
        LANG=$LANG /usr/bin/mythbackend --logfile
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --user mythtv
end script

I have all files and directories listed after rescan, but the playback
does not start.

Here is the version details.

dmitryam at hq:~$ mythbackend --version
Please attach all output as a file in bug reports.
