Hi. I have tried BS player as well. I don't think it's the player as it's getting a "taking too long to read" error in backend log. As for latest fixes, I'm only using the latest version in arch repo, mythtv 1:0.25.2-1 and tbh I don't really fancy compiling a newer version as it took me a while to get it all working after the switch to systemd :)<div>
Playing videos works so I know the players are working at least. Just that 'taking too long' error and it trying to access a zero byte file instead of the actual stream is making me wonder if I can get around this.<br>

I've got mythtv 0.25 running on my arch system, all working great and other frontends connecting fine. Got the droid app and it connects to the backend ok, receives channel list ok but when I launch the channel, either in internal viewer or MX player it fails. Now looking at the logs on the backend it seems it's trying to read the 0 byte file that gets made on initial channel selection. Here's the log<div>
