To: mythtv-users at mythtv.org

I can watch live tv on this new frontend but I get this when I try to watch
a recording
this is starting mythfronted with -v error  is there a better logging level
for diagnosing this I tried with -v all but there where to many line
constantly scrolling to be able to find the errors.

the server is mythdora - upgraded to the .21 rpms from atrpms and it is
working great  - better that .20 ever worked for me.

here are the lines from the log with -v error

On my other mac I am using the exact same settings, the same version of the
binary. and it is working - could something be blocking this frontend?

so I am open to any leads that will help figure this out
Googleing only found me items that seem to indicate that the time not
matching might be the cause  - so I synced both machines time to the same
ntp server  It seems to go back to the recoding screen faster now than
before.

I suspect once I figure out what the problem is on this new mac, I'll be
able to get my appletv working again as it is acting the same way, livetv
works, recorded programs act like will start and then goes back to the
menu.  My Dell laptop that is running OSX is faster than the true mac
hardware and mythfrontend same version of the MAC OSX binaries work fine on
it.
