hi,
i had this problem a while back. i narrowed it down to the fact that mplayer doesn't support the current .nuv files that are generated by the latest version of mythtv. i did spot a supposed patch for mplayer to fix this but i could not get it to work.
how did i get around this? what i did was spend my money on a hauppage pvr 350 tv card. with this card mythtv records .nuv files that are viewable in mplayer. how come? well, because the pvr 350 actually creates an mpeg file and mythtv just renames it as a .nuv. mplayer is clever enough to work out that the file is really a plain mpeg file and plays it.
hope this helps, took me ages to work all this out !!
