That doesn't look right.
I got that error when I increased the block size of the requests to
mythbackend, but I changed it back to 64Kb before doing the release.
I ran the 0.6.2 installer my self before doing the release so I coud be sure
it worked and I can play files from mythbackend just fine.
I have updated the mythtv cvs today and it still works.

Coud you run mythbackend with "-v all" and send the log from when it fails?
I don't understand why it fails, it shoudn't.
