It sounds some of these problems are file permission related, except
for the MythWeather problem.  Take a look at the following links
regarding that one:

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6757
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6758

Otherwise, you need to make sure of the following:

1) Make sure your 'data' directory is writable by the user that your
web server runs under.

2) Make sure that your PNG thumbnails are getting saved properly to
your recording storage directories.  What are the permissions set to
on the .png images?

3) Make sure that ffmpeg is installed and accessible to your web
server.  It is used to transcode the video on-the-fly to the FLV
format, which is then fed to the flash player.
