Specifically, I couldn't get mythvideo's "internal" playback to work. Mythvideo is rather short on documentation but I believe I'm supposed to be able to configure it to use mythfrontend's internal playback. When I do that, I get no response. >You need to get your LIRC support working in mplayer.

I'm sure there is >plenty of information online in the form of howto documents for >mplayer and LIRC. I've looked. I did my research before the original posting. I saw lots of issues, but none that looked like mine. In my case, each component seems to work properly. I know that lirc is working for me since I use it successfully with mythtv. I know that mplayer is trying to use lirc since it logs the fact: "Setting up LIRC support..." Actually, I know that mplayer is using lirc because when I press the arrow buttons, I see the X cursor appear and move. That suggests that mplayer using lirc incorrectly. However, I can't figure out how. Could it have something to do with the mplayer input.conf file? I'm unclear on the role of that file when lirc is used. Does that somehow conflict with the lirc configuration? I assumed that lirc receives the keypress events, translates them to some sort of command and passes them to mplayer. So, why would it translate them to the *wrong* events when it sends the commands to mplayer as opposed to mythtv? Still soliciting suggestions.
