I start up myth from a dedicated xinitrc script, and I too have problems
kicking off mplayer from within mythvideo. I found an old workaround
which is to redirect /dev/null into stdin on the command line, but then I
lose control of mplayer whilst it's doing its thing. This is rather an
annoyance as I cannot pause, skip, mute, etc during playback.
