[mythtv-users] mythvideo fails to start mplayer

It even fails with fvwm

I'm starting it with my .xinitrc as follows...

fvwm&
mythfrontend

as I want X to shutdown when mythtv is told to
shutdown.

if I run mythfrontend from within a xterm the mplayer
will work but starting it in any way from the .xinitrc
it refuses to allow mplayer to start.

anyone have a clue to work around this bug?
