So just as a follow up you did restart the mythbackend service after the backend came up. The service not the machine.<br>
<br>
For I had to add a sleep command after loading ivtv before I started the backend. Obviously a hack but a good one :)<br>

<br>I was seeing buffer prepause when attempting live tv playback. It would<br>pause if mythbackend was started using<br>/etc/init.d/mythbackend init script. It looks as though there's an issue<br>when started via 'su' .<br>
