Don't know if this is your problem, but the latest version(s) of mplayer have a bug in the "odml" index code that causes it to choke on files > 2GB. To fix it you'd need to either downgrade mplayer (not sure how far) or upgrade to mplayer CVS (fix hasn't been released yet). I've switched to Xine for now. -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
