[mythtv] Trouble playing back recordings from remote frontend

[Joe Doucette]

Hi folks,

I'm running into a bit of an odd problem with SVN myth. I find I can't play
back any recordings from on my remote frontend. The preview videos in the
media library all play fine, but fail when I actually try to watch them. I'm
also able to watch live tv fine. I'm running the frontend on yellow dog
linux on a ps3. The relevant error message is "GetRecordBasename found no
entry", hinting towards some sort of db problem.

Asking google yields a suggestion that perhaps perl-crypt-ssleay isn't
installed. In fact, it wasn't installed. I added that in (and recompiled
myth for good measure) to no avail. I seem to be able to talk to the backend
okay because live and preview works fine, so this one's kinda puzzling.

A few log messages with -v database enabled on the frontend:

Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
