MythTV from svn playback error.

I've compiled a build of MythTV from SVN but I keep having issues when I try to play back prerecorded shows.  I'm running a separate backend which is running SVN.  The system connects and can play live TV without a problem, but for some reason anything that's been recorded doesn't work.  I'm also running Ubuntu on the same machine and I have no issues with Myth, Arch seems to be the only system that gives me this error.  It looks like my frontend isn't getting the proper file names from the database, but I'm at a loss as to why.. 

The following is the last part of my log (I started with -v playback)

Re: MythTV from svn playback error.

Alright, well I figured it out at last.  In case anyone has the same problem I was missing a perl script.  I believe it's only needed when you're running a frontend separate from the backend.

pacman -S perl-crypt-ssleay

Re: MythTV from svn playback error.

Is it safe to assume you made a build for myth from svn to be able to interface with schedulesdirect? If so, how's it working?

Re: MythTV from svn playback error.

I didn't at the time but I have recently updated to the schedules direct versions.  It works about the same as before, just costs ~$15 for three months...
