[mythtv-users] Announcement: merge of devel/027candidates

[Monkey Pet]

I have an issue that the mythfrontend crashes when trying to play a video.
 This doesn't happen with the following version.  However, for some reason,
I have having trouble finding the mythfrontend log files.  Here is how I am
starting the 027candidate,

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mythtv-dev/lib
/usr/local/mythtv-dev/bin/mythfrontend --logpath /var/log/mythtv/


It crashes when I try to play a recording...

version that works:

fa at fa-Macmini:/var/log/mythtv$ mythfrontend --version

xprop:  unable to open display ''

Please attach all output as a file in bug reports.
