OSX .25 - "Please Wait"

I upgraded to .25 today and my mac mini front end won't show any video
playback.

I can hear sound, however for the video (tv recording and mythvideo)
there is only a black screen with the letters "Please Wait..." that
never goes away.

Sorry to state the bleeding obvious, but where are your frontend logs?

Change the menu rendered from Qt to OpenGL
Setup -> Appearance

How are you guys navigating the menus? It seems like the arrow keys are no
longer working. The mouse cursor is gone also.

up/down
There's never been mouse cursor in mythfrontend.

Try this build instead:

Eventually, I was able to make the mouse cursor show up by moving the mouse
to the top of the screen so that the osx menu showed up, then the cursor
stayed and I selected the option I needed and restarted mythfrontend. The
original "blank screen please wait" issue was gone. Happily watching on my
intel mini osx mythfrontend!

Thanks.
