[mythtv-users] Takes two tries to watch a recording

[Dave Topan]

I also have that issue but I tracked it down.

My problem is that the recordings are on a seperate drive, and when there 
is no activity the drive spins down. When I go to watch it hits a timeout 
waiting for the drive to spin up. Once you try again it works.
