[mythtvnz] Mythvideo Record Playback Issue

[NZ Russ]

Well, I solved it.

It was timely that I had a days leave owing, and stayed home to get it
sorted. Most likely was an audio problem. I did a fresh install
(Ubuntu 8.04) then installed mythtv from the repo's (not mythbuntu
this time). Experienced similar problems, but also had no sound with
the default Internal Player.

Once I changed my sound device from ALSA default to /???/DSP/ it was
all good. Most of the videos played properly, and a couple were still
dodgy. They were also dodgy on another machine.

Cause of problem: multiple bad rips, and a sound issue.
Solution: Reinstalled Ubuntu with MythTv, and removed bad rips.
Currently re-ripping.

Cheers

Russ
