[mythtv-users] Unable to get video playback in MythTV

Okay, I am SOOO close to getting this thing working now! I have
perfect video and audio in tvtime, and I can schedule and record shows
in myth (or at least presumably - the .nuv files show up in the
storage directory).

The only problem is that I have NO video playback in mythTV! Thus, I
cannot watch live tv or recorded shows.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try? I've been
wracking my brain on this one.

I'm using myth 0.16 w/256megs ram and a Celeron 2.4GHz.

The output of mythfrontend is as follows:
