We did have some early trouble with the key focus issue playing dvd's as you mention. That went away when we switched to videolan client for dvd and video playback. I'm not sure why that made a difference. Maybe because of the way vlc splits the control interface from the video display. Anyway we seldom have any trouble. -- Tim www.magicitx.com _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
