Thank you for your reply.

Yes - I just did that. My backend machine (which has a frontend on it for
testing) plays the HDHR recordings just fine. It's a 3.1 GHz dual-core
Athlon, no VDPAU, and shows a little less than 50% CPU on both cores while
playing.

So this is evidently not a MythTV problem - it's a WDTV Live problem.

I posted the MediaInfo for one of the files on the WDTVL forum, and the
person there said it looked OK except for maybe the two text tracks. So I'm
now trying to figure out how to use tsmuxer to strip those tracks out and
see if it will play on the WDTVL then.

If that works, then maybe I can configure a job to automatically strip the
text tracks out of HDHR recordings. Or is there a way to just get the HDHR
to not record the text tracks?
