Are you saying that if you control the frontend via VNC, it then
outputs correctly on the actual display device it should display on,
or just across the VNC connection on your the 'other box' (or both??)
If only displaying in the VNC session:
On your frontend, have you gone through and made certain you have set
what you need for your case in the playback profiles?
(Maybe start with the slim profile to test)
Also, what does your mythfrontend.log show when trying to play a video
and it fails directly on the frontend?

The "active button" (Ill call it) color in the play menu looks to be different. I was actually switching to "DONE" instead of "PLAY". How stupid is that??? I think the reason I was is that the color arrangement is reversed on the other menus. That could have confused me. Using the default theme here too. <BR>

Im awful sorry to bother the list with such a stupid problem. I feel rather dumb now.<BR>
