[mythtv-users] Can't playback recorded shows but preview works

[Mike Wright]

Hi all,

I just set up a mythbuntu diskless system based on Hardy Heron.  I have a
separate back end and front end.  The very first thing I did to test the
setup was to record some shows and then try and play them back.
Unfortunately, playback does not start at all.  The live preview window at
the bottom right does work though!!!

Here is a bit of my frontend log:

I think this post might refer to the same problem but I'm not sure:

I tried the Windows based MythTVPlayer and it plays the recorded shows fine.

Any ideas?  Should I try and pull the latest mythbuntu 0.21-fixes packages
to see if there is a fix?

Regards,
Mike
