Just a random thought. Could this be a libmpeg2 problem.

I have differing libmpeg2 rpms on frontend and the backend.

backend:
libmpeg2_0.i386 0:0.5.1-5.el5
libmpeg2convert_0.i386 0:0.5.1-5.el5

frontend:
libmpeg2.x86_64 0:0.5.1-2.el5.rf

I have upgraded the frontend to the 0.5.1-5 atrpm binaries and removed 
the rpmforge binary.

I now have a very long cable (although not x-over so I am hoping my 
100/1000 ethernet will autoswitch) and I will test again tonight.

This is getting on my wick end!

As an aside I can record a live tv on the backend and the watch it on as 
am in progress recording on the remote frontend in more or less 
real-time perfectly but it's a fairly stupid way to watch TV.

Regards,

Steve
