Notably it seems that I can record because I can see the show
previewed in a small window (in my theme, below the listing of
recorded shows) before attempting to watch it (I haven't been able to
play recordings using Myth or mplayer, either with transcoding (mpeg4)
or without - straight .nuv file) When I attempt to play back the
recording with Myth, I get a lockup, with Mplayer, I get some attempt
to load codecs, but it exits very quickly. After a mythtv lockup, I
cannot do anything but
reset the system, SSHing in doesn't work (in fact, I often have to
reset twice to get a boot).
I assume that I could have a problem with my sound (sblive), but I
have at times disabled it (mythtv asks if I want to proceed without
sound (I had difficulty initially getting the sound devices to be rw
for users on reboot), and when I proceed, it crashes the computer in
the same way that it did with the sound enabled (perhaps this is just
the fact that myth crashes without sound working).
Myth doesn't necessarily crash without sound, but Myth is very likely to
experience problems (which may even result in crashing) on a system
whose sound is not properly configured. My recommendation is to fix the
sound issue and see if that fixes the playback issue.
I captured this through a ssh connection:

What is going on at the time of the last line?
Nothing much. That's not an error, just a configuration notice. Don't
worry about it (at least, not at this point).
I assume that that would point to what is crashing the system.
No. Something else.
Also I note that I don't think XV works for playback in Mplayer, could
this be causing the crash.
Xv is working for Myth, so you've probably just chosen another video
output device for MPlayer.
