I ripped a couple of DVD, one transcoded, the other just a VOB.
I can see them in my Videos folder, but when I select them and press enter at the movie description screen I see "loading" for a brief instant and then it returns to the description screen. Running xine <filename> from the command line seems to work, as does mplayer<filename>.
Thoughts?

if you have an nvidia .. did you install the nvidia drivers? -vo xv is the defualt opition on knoppmyth. You can also play with the commandline Mythvideo runs under setup.

Try this:

Check your mplayer path in "Utilities / Setup\Setup\Media Setting\Video Settings\Player Settings" and make sure it's /usr/bin/mplayer and NOT /usr/local/bin/mplayer.

Moat - You da man...

Does this affect everyone or is it something specific to Nvidia cards?

Cheers!

Should affect everyone that uses KnoppMyth, since it's a PATH thing.
