I was just wondering if anyone has tried this patch for mythtv yet http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/4872

I'm using 810 and when I try to watch some tv through linuxmce the frontend for linuxmce doesn't load and it goes into the mythtv gant menu. After about half a minute after it reaches the gant menu it will flash a screen saying that mythtv is having problems and goes back to the flickr slideshow.

The contents of spawn_mythfrontend_23861.log are below and give some clue, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure this out.

I couldn't find liblibmythfrontend.so anywhere on my computer. Mythtv works just fine from KDE though. Maybe it's an installation issue? This is the second install that I've done with the same results.

I recently installed linuxmce 8.10 and the restricted software package. I can play DVDs that I've previously burned, but when I put in a normal DVD I see the "Disk detected in drive" screen and it keeps popping up even if I close out of the screen. I was able to play normal DVDs if I went to the KDE desktop and played them with xine there. Anyone have any clues why it's doing this?
