[mythtv] Separate front/backend broken?

[William Uther]

Hi,
   I mostly use myth on a combined front/back end machine.   
Occasionally I also build just the front end on my Mac.  I recently  
updated both systems to revision 6905, and while the combined front/ 
back system is working fine, the frontend only system on my Mac is  
not working.

   When I select a recorded program to play back, I get a blank  
screen, a pause and then get returned to the list of recordings.  I  
seem to be getting a timeout in TV::StartPlayer() in tv_play.cpp .   
There is a 20 second timeout there (maxWait set in line 933).   
Changing the timeout to 25 seconds fixes things (well, there is a  
delay in starting, but it starts).

   Any suggestions on where to start looking for this delay?  Are  
other people using a split front/back end seeing this?

Be well,

Will       :-}

(N.B.  I also updated Qt on my Mac at the same time.  As the system  
mostly works, I'm assuming this is not the problem.)
