Hmm, I seem to be getting the same problem you are describing, even when trying to AirPlay music.  No output (after a minute or more), no notification on screen when starting playback, nothing relevant showing in the frontend log.  I’m running "mythfrontend version: fixes/0.27 [v0.27.4-f1115fcd-MacPorts] www.mythtv.org” with Qt 4.8.6.  Network interfaces were:

I think we need to turn on more extensive logging for the frontend to see if that shows anything.  I’ll try later but I don’t have much time.
