I've tried both ways with/without the -b and -r options.

AFAICT nothing has ever worked using MythTV's protocol in terms of playing
video no matter what I specify on the command line. I've been testing by
telnetting into the MVP, killing the dongle.bin.config started mvpmc
command and firing off my own copy from the busybox command line. That's
how I got the error messages I posted in my last post.
The listing of shows and other items in the database come across fine.
Playing video directly from the NFS filesystem works too. But when using
the Myth menu and connecting the two together? Boom!
I'm going to try one more option and mirror the MythTV backend directory
and MVP directory via NFS so that the filenames and paths are the same. Be
back in a virtual minute...
...now that generated some traction! Recordings now work. Still no joy on
live TV, but the box can now handle the primary function I need it for.
So here's my current dongle.bin.config:
########################################################

Is it the unknown message that is causing the problem?
BTW I haven't seen any documentation or postings that indicate that the NFS
directory must mirror the Myth Backend directory. Maybe I just missed it.
If I can get liveTV, I can set up all my boxes.
Thanks for the reply. It did help.
