[gentoo-user] Mythtv problems 2.0: carter
OK. My recent Myth problems were on camille, which thankfully is now working. Originally, I was trying to move my Myth installation to carter, which is a dedicated linux box. I wanted to do this so that I could dual boot into Windows XP on camille more often. I've been applying all the advice I've been getting to carter's installation and everything works except for Watch TV. Carter's TV card is Hauppage HVR-1950 (pvrusb2). I can get video with it (I have the /eev/vieo0 device node and I can get a file by mplayer /dev/video0). I'm thinking the card type in Capture Cards in mythtv-setup might be the problem. Here is the output from mythbackend: carter mythtv # mythbackend 2011-10-27 09:40:54.528 mythbackend version: branches/release-0-23-fixes [27077] www.mythtv.org 2011-10-27 09:40:54.528 Using runtime prefix = /usr 2011-10-27 09:40:54.528 Using configuration directory = /root/.mythtv 2011-10-27 09:40:54.528 Unable to read configuration file mysql.txt 2011-10-27 09:40:54.528 Empty LocalHostName. 2011-10-27 09:40:54.528 Using localhost value of carter 2011-10-27 09:40:54.537 New DB connection, total: 1 2011-10-27 09:40:54.549 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2011-10-27 09:40:54.549 Closing DB connection named 'DBManager0' 2011-10-27 09:40:54.557 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2011-10-27 09:40:54.559 Current MythTV Schema Version (DBSchemaVer): 1254 2011-10-27 09:40:54.560 MythBackend: Starting up as the master server. 2011-10-27 09:40:54.567 mythbackend: MythBackend started as master server 2011-10-27 09:40:54.569 New DB connection, total: 2 2011-10-27 09:40:54.577 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2011-10-27 09:40:54.588 New DB connection, total: 3 2011-10-27 09:40:54.597 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2011-10-27 09:40:56.464 New DB scheduler connection 2011-10-27 09:40:56.477 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2011-10-27 09:40:56.505 Enabling Upnpmedia rebuild thread. 2011-10-27 09:40:57.707 Main::Registering HttpStatus Extension 2011-10-27 09:40:57.707 Enabled verbose msgs: important general 2011-10-27 09:40:57.720 AutoExpire: CalcParams(): Max required Free Space: 0.0 GB w/freq: 15 min 2011-10-27 09:40:59.506 Reschedule requested for id -1. 2011-10-27 09:41:01.197 Scheduled 109 items in 1.2 = 0.10 match + 1.11 place 2011-10-27 09:41:01.247 scheduler: Scheduled items: Scheduled 109 items in 1.2 = 0.10 match + 1.11 place 2011-10-27 09:41:01.356 Seem to be woken up by USER 2011-10-27 09:41:06.488 mythbackend: Running housekeeping thread 2011-10-27 09:41:06.517 UPnpMedia: BuildMediaMap - no VideoStartupDir set, skipping scan. 2011-10-27 09:41:27.057 MainServer::ANN Monitor 2011-10-27 09:41:27.057 adding: carter as a client (events: 0) 2011-10-27 09:41:27.057 MainServer::ANN Monitor 2011-10-27 09:41:27.057 adding: carter as a client (events: 1) 2011-10-27 09:41:30.253 MainServer::ANN Playback 2011-10-27 09:41:30.253 adding: carter as a client (events: 0) 2011-10-27 09:41:30.257 TVRec(3): Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2011-10-27 09:41:30.259 TVRec(3): HW Tuner: 3-3 2011-10-27 09:41:31.238 ProgramInfo(): Updated pathname '':'' - '1002_20111027094131.mpg' 2011-10-27 09:41:31.243 AutoExpire: CalcParams(): Max required Free Space: 1.0 GB w/freq: 15 min *** WARNING *** ivtv drivers prior to 0.10.0 can cause lockups when reading VBI.

Here is the output from mythbackend: SNIP I'm using the recommended IVTV MPEG-2 Encoder card type. What am I doing wrong here? 1) I don't presume to know why you need to dual boot but unless you're playing games or something that requires better graphics why not run a Windows VM and not reboot at all? I currently have 3 copies of Windows running here but I'm writing this in Linux. 2) Not that I mind these MythTV oriented threads at all but wouldn't you find a wider range of MythTV help on the MythTV list? That said, post where you like. It's all good. Cheers, Mark
