I'm not sure I understand why NFS, mplayer, and totem even come up for watching prerecorded shows on a frontend. I put the frontend on a laptop, told it where the backend was, didn't mount anything, and watch prerecorded (and live) shows through MythTV itself - streamed across the network from the backend (just like live tv).
