I have a perfectly working install of mythtv on a fc4 machine. I decided
to put a frontend on another fc4 machine and link them wirelessly. the
remote frontend can watch tv, browse the program guide, delete
recordings, program to record etc, but it will not allow me to view a
prerecorded show. mplayer will not run by itself on either machine, it
just freaks out and quits when you try to open it. I can watch the
prerec. shows with totem through an nfs share. I have no clue where to
even begin to troubleshoot this glitch. any help would be appr.
Is the directory containing the recorded material mounted on the
frontend via NFS to the same place it is mounted on the backend in the
file system?
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).
For efficiency. Why make mythbackend go to the trouble of streaming the
file if the frontend can just read the file directly?
