[mythtv-users] ERROR was encountered while displaying video

Hi All,

I thought that every thing was set up correctly to watch Live TV (using 
DCV-C - Terreactec Cingery card) under MYTHTV. However when I try to 
watch live tv I get an error saying "ERROR was encountered while displaying 
video". I know the card works under kaffeine and it also used to work a 
couple of short times with mythtv (signal quality is good).

Does anyone have any ideas how to get it fixed? I very much appreciate your 
help / Thanks Nick

I have attached the log below:
