Post subject:  Occassional black screen w/ prerecorded show on remote FE

I've only had the remote frontend running for a short while, but twice now I've tried to watch a recorded show and the screen went black. Audio came out, but not video. I went back to the menus, then several minutes later tried playing the show again and it worked. Any thoughts?

Again, this is NOT live TV, and doesn't happen often. I think both times it was accessing HD content, but I'm not sure. The first time it happened I didn't give it much mind, and tonight it happened with an episode of nightline that may have been transcoded.

RFE setup:

Compaq D510 evo
P4 2.4, 512mb, 100gb
PNY Nvidia 5200 w/ 256ram, using s-video out


TIA,

You may want to check two things, the frontend log files and possibly top to see if your system can keep up.

I've had that issue too. Restarting the remote frontend resolved it and I never dug to the bottom to find the actual reason.
