[mythtv-users] mythvideo and input issues

Using the latest debian packages (unstable) for mplayer (mplayer-686,
specifically), and the mythtv unstable packages provided by
http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian and wang-fu.

Everything works great except when I play something with mythvideo.
mplayer comes up and begins to play, but no hotkeys work. xterm -e
doesn't help. In fact (and this is very odd), if I just have mythvideo
execute an xterm session I cannot type anything into the new window
created, not even if I click the window or hover the mouse over it.

I am using twm for a window manager, and the recommended twm script by
Monty Walls.

If I allow the movie to play all the way through, everything goes back
to myth, and keyboard input works fine. I can find no error messages
anywhere, all seems to be working well.

Anything I can do to provide better diagnostics? Any help out there?

Thanks,
Alan Shields

PS: great job with MythTV guys, it works very well.
