I just finished a fresh fc4 install utilizing Jarod's guide. I have a
master backend/frontend that can record, watch live tv and play
recordings with no problem. My remote frontend locks up on a black
screen when attempting to watch live tv or recordings. If I go to the
recordings menu, I can still see the previews playing but as soon as I
select one the screen goes black and the machine locks up. Both
machines are fairly similar. They have AMD processors, the remote
frontend has an XP 2700+ and the backend a sempron 2500+. Both have
Nvidia cards, the frontend a Ti4200, the backend an older Nvidia card
(TNT2 maybe?). The frontend has an Nforce2 chipset and the backend a
Via chipset. Where should I look to find out what is causing this?
Any help/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
Look in the remote frontend's mythfrontend logfile. It could well be a
video driver issue. Does mplayer/xine work normally?
Try running mythfrontend from a console window, try your failing
playback then exit. See if you have and "BadAlloc" messages from
X in the console window you ran mythfrontend in. If so, you probably
have an X video driver problem.
