I don't think the video manager is what I want. First of all, it's apparently only designed for using an external player, not for playing within the MythTV frontend. Secondly, the video manager seems completely messed up when you are running multiple frontends, since they are recorded in the global backend database but only referenced relative to the frontend's local filesystem. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
