I am having a problem with mkv files being played back. Mplayer will play them just fine, sound will be fine too, but I can't seek back and forth with lirc or the keyboard. If I call mplayer from the command line and try and seek, I get this error: (ignore the display errors)
Code:

From what I have gleaned while searching, seeking in mkv files works fine for most people. Here's what I'm running:
fresh KnoppMyth R5F27
Code:
cat /etc/mythtv/version
Library API version : 0.20.20070821-1
Source code version : 14463M
Code:
mplayer -version
MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team
CPU: AMD Sempron(tm) 2500+ (Family: 6, Model: 8, Stepping: 1)
CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0
Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE
In Video Settings I have added mkv as a file type to use the default player, which is mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo xv %s.
Any thoughts why I can't get it to seek right?
