I'm have WAF issues with using MythDVD as a primary DVD player. It will get stuck rewinding or fastwording the movie and force you to exit the DVD player and start over. Just an FYI. I have not upgraded to the official
0.20.1 release but I do have a fairly recent fixes branch build from ATRPMS.<br><br>Craig<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/14/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Patrick Doyle</b> <<a href="mailto:wpdster@gmail.com">
