Ok take a look at the channels.conf I have at
http://www.mythtv.co.nz/mythtv/?page_id=58

You need to modify the A/V Pid settings to include the primary PMT
identifier. EG fot C4 you would have

451+301:401:1301

rather than

451:401:1301

Without this MPlayer doesn't realise you have H.264 and HE-AAC.

And welcome to the testing team.
