[mythtv-users] New Frontend woes

[Alex Fazzari]

I don't understand the backend error I am getting:

Preview Error: Previewer file
'/media/Goods/TV_mythtv_recording/2004_20090823214625.mpg' is not
valid.
2009-08-23 21:46:27.994 Preview Error: Run() file not local:
'/media/Goods/TV_mythtv_recording/2004_20090823214625.mpg'
2009-08-23 21:46:27.999 Preview Error: Preview process not ok.
			fileinfo(/media/Goods/TV_mythtv_recording/2004_20090823214625.mpg.png)

I also don't understand why it appears that the frontend appears to be
trying to play a different fle:
Preview Error: Previewer file
'/media/Goods/TV_mythtv_recording/2004_20090823214625.mpg' is not
valid.
