[mythtv-users] remote front end locks up playing live tv/recordings

[David W Davis]

I just finished a fresh fc4 install utilizing Jarod's guide.  I have a
master backend/frontend that can record, watch live tv and play
recordings with no problem.  My remote frontend locks up on a black
screen when attempting to watch live tv or recordings.  If I go to the
recordings menu, I can still see the previews playing but as soon as I
select one the screen goes black and the machine locks up.  Both
machines are fairly similar.  They have AMD processors, the remote
frontend has an XP 2700+ and the backend a sempron 2500+.  Both have
Nvidia cards, the frontend a Ti4200, the backend an older Nvidia card
(TNT2 maybe?).  The frontend has an Nforce2 chipset and the backend a
Via chipset.  Where should I look to find out what is causing this? 
Any help/suggestions are appreciated.  Thanks.
