Happy to help with the XBMC stuff off-line if you want, using both the built
in support and the mythbox script mostly because of recent issues, sometimes
one will work better than the other.

As for using mythfrontend, I just tried again to get audio working without
success and it seems to be having an effect on video playback as it is quite
jerky. I have it set to make use of the VDAPU libraries and it seems to be
doing that as CPU utilisation is low. Will take another look at this when
back from holiday.


Thanks
