Welll...not quite... The livetv ringbuffer no longer exists, that method of LiveTV was discontinued in MythTV 0.18. When mvpmc detects that you've got a newer version of MythTV then it uses the newer method. In theory the newer method should actually be easier to handle, since it just creates a load of normal recording files spanning the programs in your livetv session. In practice the mvpmc's implementation of post-0.18 LiveTV is far from perfect. It currently doesn't support accessing LiveTV over NFS, it will only play LiveTV files over MythTV protocol. If you remove the -r and -b options from your command line are you able to play pre-recorded programs? If not then whatever is causing that to fail is probably also causing LiveTV to fail, and it'll be easier to investigate your problems on recorded files rather than livetv. If it isn't that then things get a bit more difficult, and I'm not sure what is causing your problems, other than the generally flakey LiveTV code.
