<p class=MsoNormal>I have still been unable to resolve this problem, but have
been researching it and I think I can rule some things out. Again the symptoms
are that the system will schedule and record programs, but once recorded the
frontend doesn’t show any screenshots of the programs and won’t
play them back--attempt shows the screen saying the recording is loading then
dumps back out to the menu. (The log material I posted before was kind of
messy, so I deleted all the recordings but one and set mythfrontend to make a log,
and the entries for startup and one attempt to play the recorded file are at
the end of this message. )<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Some posts suggest the nvidia drivers aren’t loaded. My
/var/log/Xorg.0.log has the following entries for nvidia:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>(**) ModulePath set to
"/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia,/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>(II) Loading

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>And lsmod shows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>nvidia

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So I think the nvidia drivers are loaded. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Other posts suggest there is something wrong with the
storage group setup. I have it pointing to /video/recordings and la –la
for that shows:<o:p></o:p></p>

where someone was getting the same libfaad error says you need a soft link to
libfaad. But that’s for mythdora, so I don’t know if that
would apply for FC12. Also not sure how to do it.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>This post <a
href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/329967">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/329967</a>
says the “Preview process not OK” error can be caused by
zero-length files created by LiveTV, but as of now /video/recordings only has
one file in it for a recorded program that is not zero length<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any guidance on how to debug or fix this would be greatly
