Hi,
I'm having similar issues, only more so. I cannot watch anything in
MythTV. I get a second or two of moving video+audio then a freeze for 10
seconds - rinse and repeat.
I was using v2.1 on Ubuntu Gutsey without an issue. Upgraded to Ubuntu
Hardy and it's all gone pare shaped.
Note though that recordings happen perfectly and I can mythtranscode
programmes out of MythTV and view them in Mplayer and VLC. Even more
silly, when I'm in MythTV frontend -> Media Library -> Watch Recordings
the mini-preview video plays perfectly!
So essentially so long as I don't want to watch programmes in MythTV
frontend then it's all ok :-(
