[mythtv-users] Playing a Video freezes the GUI

[joel at rosafluffmoln.nu]

I had a problem like this, it was caused by mplayer didnt pipe the error 
messages correctly. Adding < /dev/null & to the end made mplayer happy. I dont 
know if you have the same problem but it sounds like it.

The line for .divx files would then be:
divx_helper=mplayer -fs -vm -zoom -nolirc -quiet %s < /dev/null &

Cheers, 
Joel
