I was touched by your sad eyes, so I just wanted to follow up to say it
doesn't mean you can't use MythTV. It just means you can't really use
the "preview". For the Watch Recordings page, turn off:
Display live preview of recordings
When enabled, a preview of the recording will play in a small window on
the "Watch a Recording" menu.
in the "View Recordings" page of "Playback Settings" in mythfrontend's
settings.
Unfortunately, for the LiveTV EPG's continuing to display the program,
there doesn't seem to be a checkbox to disable the video playback.
However, you can always modify your theme's ui.xml to disable it. The
easiest approach is to change the "current_video" container in the
"programguide-video" window to have a width of 0. I.e.
<container name="current_video">
<area>540,20,0,0</area>
</container>
Unfortunately, though, that will leave a blank area in your EPG, so a
better solution is probably to comment out (or delete) the definition
for the "programguide-video" window and make a copy of the
"programguide" window and change the name of the window in the copy to
"programguide-video".
You might want to make a copy of ui.xml before starting to edit it,
too. Note, also, that I haven't tested either of these approaches,
though...
