This is what happens when mvpmc goes to try and play mythtv recordings from the directory you've told it they're located in with the "-r" parameter and finds they don't exist. It really ought to give an error, rather than crash out/reboot. Aaanyway, this is probably because the mount of the /data directory is failing. Firstly there are 2 different ways of playing files off a MythTV backend, one is by mounting the recordings over NFS and playing the files directly. The other is to play the files using MythTV's own internal protocol. There are various advantages/disadvantages of the 2 methods, but the easiest to get working is the Myth protocol one. To do that you simply need to remove the "-r /data" from your command line. Once that's working and if you want to try to get NFS working then try telnetting to your mvp, logging in as root, and trying out the NFS mount command you have in your dongle.config to see what if/why it errors. Try taking a look in /data using "ls" to see what's in there.
