Here's my environment:
AMD64/GeForce FX 5200 based gentoo backend server
XBox frontend
Everything is running 0.18.1, and working fine.
I want to run mythfrontend on the AMD64 box as well, but have no
interest in TV out (it's going to be hooked up to a projector if I ever
get it working)
Anyway, mythfrontend runs fine, and I even get a preview video when I go
to "Watch Recordings" but when I pick a recording, I get an "Unable to
Initialize Video" message, and the log shows:
<*SNIP*>

2005-06-07 21:01:08.937 Changing from None to None
<*SNIP*>
and I can't watch anything.
I just emerged 0.18.1 tonight, hoping that explicitly stating the "X
-directfb" use flags might have an impact, but it doesn't seem to have
helped.
Any thoughts on how I can get this going? Any further information I can
supply to help diagnose what's wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Greg
