Well, like --- duh - why not? ;-) Ok, amazingly reasonable request. I fired up mythfrontend and had a failure in the first 5 minutes. Here's the contents of the log file in it's entireity:

[mpeg2video @ 0xb78cc810]ac-tex damaged at 12 3 [mpeg2video @ 0xb78cc810]Warning MVs not available I don't think any data was truly 'damaged' as I could set up the program to play again and the failure comes at a different place. If I go to the backend machine itself, or the frontend that's in the family room but on the wired network with the backend, I never get a drop out so I assume it must be the wireless network. Any ideas? How do I test a wireless network for real, not just throughput numbers, etc.? Seems like I should be able to see this if I had the right tools and a bit of luck.
