Mikkel: First of all, a big thank you for Mythtv Player. I'm setting up my first home media network with the aid of Linux (Mythbunbtu) and, especially because of my wife's preferences, Windows.
There'll come the day when AutoCAD gets ported to Linux... that'll be my last day with Windows.

LiveTV works pretty well, sometimes it starts "rebuffering", never reaching more than 2% and hanging the video window. I think it's owed to a video problem, because the player seems to be pretty video resource-hungry (it's used to hang whenever I scroll down text in some other application).
Some other times it rebuffers (rarely), but it recovers the connection immediately. On these occasions, there's no other interference from my side (I mean, I'm not doing anything but watching Mythtv Player).

I would appreciate to see some improvement in video rendering.

Also, it'd be great to have a pop-up bar when in fullscreen in order to change channels and shift the volume.

I wish I knew some programming in order to be able to give you a hand!!

The problem you are describing is not caused by some performance problem but it is a bug with handling new files in a LiveTv chain (Mythtv is creating a sequence of files when recording in LiveTv mode - each file ends at the end time of the current show).
I'm trying to find the problem but its a tricky one ;-)
See http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/forum/thread/171

But I like your idea with the pop-up in fullscreen mode! We should put this into the next release!
