[mythtv-users] MythVideo Problem/Annoyance

Most of the time when I try to start a movie with MythVideo, if spawns 
mplayer, pauses a couple of seconds, then mplayer exits.  If you then 
press enter again (real quick), it spawns mplayer and the movie starts 
right away.

It's like MythVideo times out waiting on mplayer to start.  The second 
incarnation of mplayer starts quicker, since now everything is in memory 
and MythVideo doesn't timeout and everyone's happy.

Has anyone else seen this.  It's been this way for me since I've started 
using MythVideo (0.9??).  I'm now on 0.11.

Also, sometimes the second incarnation times out and you have to start 
it a third time to get the video going.

I also have times where MythVideo just hangs, but that's probably 
another issue.  Restarting MythBackend seems to fix that.
