Matthias,

Thank you for responding.

That seems to have had some improvement, I think. Now, when I press the 
"play" button, the video fast forwards a little. That's not the hoped 
for effect, but it's at least some response.

I thought that maybe the problem was with Mplayer, so I tried 
configuring MythTV to use Xine instead. Unfortunately that doesn't seem 
to do it.

These are the commands for the video player that I'm using in the MythTV 
setup:

xine -pfhq --no-splash

mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo xv %s


These are the commands I've got in my lircrc file, for "pause", for 
mythtv, Mplayer, and Xine:

# Pause TV while watching TV (This works when watching live TV)
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Pause
repeat = 3
config = P
end

# Pause video in Mplayer (This doesn't work at all)
begin
prog = mplayer
button = PAUSE
repeat = 3
config = pause
end

# Pause video in Xine (This doesn't work at all)
begin
prog = xine
button = PAUSE
repeat = 3
config = Pause
end

Is there something I'm missing here?
