Pressing/holding the arrow buttons.

Ok, probably just me having beginners problems, then:-)

Yes:-)
If so, mvpmc doesn't automatically support that feature. (Even the real

Sorry I missed the documentation - using the right search term is everything
and I was focusing on resume rather than bookmark!
I did configure Mythfrontend to save the position on exit, but I have no
problem setting it manually now that I know how - will the blue button bring
me to the bookmark created on other frontends, or are they specific to the
MVP?
I ran the MythDB tests and they are fine (though I still can't watch live
>> tv)...

It says that I have to set up DNS or add my backend to /etc/hosts.
Try telneting to the MVP, kill the mvpmc process, and start it manually from

I'm not good at command line Linux, but I will try it tonight. How do I kill
the process, and how do I capture the debug output?
