I think I have a bigger issue with my XBMC install. I can't seem to play any video mpeg with mplayer. It locks up. It's possible that the build of XBMC that I got isn't the best. Anyone have suggestions on a place to get the binary downloads? Email me if you don't want to post to the group. I also have the python scripts installed for Myth. My cards/myth don't create .nuv files, they create .mpg files. I assume these are mpeg4 or am I wrong on this? Mplayer should be able to play these shouldn't they? Norm
