So what you are telling me is that the option to force playback via
streaming has been removed? What is the reason for that?

Also it would seem that there is a bug somewhere  causing the long
delays in starting playback over NFS. Possibly not a bug in Myth, but
Myth was the only thing changing on the boxes, nothing else was
upgraded.

It is quite convenient to have the /video dir available over NFS. Yes,
I understand that I could move the store-dir out of there, but really?
It has worked fine for years..
