[mythtv-users] SOLVED - 0.27 - Frontend locking on Video playback

[Jeff Hatfield]

I figured it out (right after I sent off this message :-)

I had been logging in using Ubuntu 2D desktop (I remember at one point
setting up .25 that was necessary to get it to work).  So I switched to
regular Ubuntu desktop and that seems to have fixed the problem.  No idea
why.
