[mythtvnz] VLC

[Barry Clearwater]

I echo this, the WAF factor is low in the house due to the fact that the old
DVD player gets pulled out to play DVD's.  With winter upon us and nights in
front of the screen more frequent, I'd be keen to find out whats up or if
anybody has found a fix for the issue. I even replaced the DVD drive unit
thinking it had gotten tired, but to no avail.
I too am using 9.04 recently installed.
