So just as a follow up you did restart the mythbackend service after the backend came up.  The service not the machine.

For I had to add a sleep command after loading ivtv before I started the backend.  Obviously a hack but a good one :)

I was seeing buffer prepause when attempting live tv playback. It would
pause if mythbackend was started using
/etc/init.d/mythbackend init script. It looks as though there's an issue
when started via 'su' .

so I created an alias in ~/.bashrc


alias mythbackend='mythbackend -v channel,record,playback --daemon
--logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --pidfile
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.pid'

Then start as mythuser.


The buffer prepause occured if I ran the init script as root or myth user.
