Hi - 

When i launch mythtv (from mythfrontend or standalone), 
I get a black screen and massive CPU usage. Other than
that, no response. Running tail -f /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
shows -

I set the live tv buffer in /dvr/live-tv-buffer, which is 
writable to everyone. My guess would be this is some kind of
permission issue, but everything seems to be alright (it does
the same when I run everything as root).

Thanks,
