[mythtv-users] DVD Playback (0.20 -> 0.21)

Sun Aug 10 19:51:49 UTC 2008

Hi all,

I have recently upgraded from MythTV 0.20-fixes on CentOS 4.x, to MythTV 
0.21-fixes on CentOS 5.x.

Unfortunately I am now finding that 50% of my DVDs no longer play.  With 
MythTV 0.20 I had no problems.  With 0.21 the drive spins up, stops and 
a black screen is shown.  On some DVDs if I press Enter the DVD will 
spin up again and show the copyright notice.

The same DVDs play fine from the same user account with mplayer, xine, 
vlc and ogle.

Are there any known issues with the MythTV DVD player that could affect 
50% of my DVDs?  Or, does anyone have any other ideas?

I've listed below the end of the output of "mythfrontend -v all", the 
point at which the frontend gets stuck on the black screen.

Settings of ./configure listed below.  I'm have three Nova-T DVB-T cards 
and I am using the NVidia binary video drivers.

Help appreciated, I'm running out of ideas.

Regards,
Nige.
