[mythtv-users] Problems Playing Files in Master

Need some help in figuring out what has gone wrong. The systems have 
just been updated with today's master and none of the the recordings can 
be played from the playback box in watched recordings. There are two 
available frontends and both behave the same. Most of the entries have 
the circle-X beside them indicating they cannot be accessed. New 
recordings are getting recorded okay. Here is a snippet from the log 
when viewing the watch recording screen. There are one or two entries 
that do not have the circle-X but just the ordinary colored circle 
beside it.

If one of the files is accessed through mythavtest 
myth://192.168.0.71:6543/4381_20120220193001.mpg from the same (remote) 
system where the recording cannot be played through watch recordings, it 
then plays okay. Iptables is shutdown on all systems and IPv6 is 
disabled as well. Selinux is disabled on all systems.

The MBE is a different system than the slave doing most of the 
recordings. There is a FE available on the MBE. I've been running the 
BEs with a combination of flags but other than file not found nothing is 
sticking out just yet.

Please attach all output as a file in bug reports.

Any further hints on what to collect (debug flags) that might help to 
figure out what has changed to cause the problem would be appreciated.
