Hi,
nuvinfo seems to work ok:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /TVstorage $ nuvinfo 1053_20050423160000_20050423163000.nuv

That looks reasonable. However nuvexport always clears the terminal,
gives me this message and immediately exits:
Loading MythTV recording info.
100%
Found 2 files, but no matching database entries.

Is it not running correctly?
The other straing thing I'm finding is the /dev/v4l permissions keep
changing to whoever ran mythfrontend last. Shoudl it do that? I could
not record last night from my account. The log file said permissions
to /dev/v4l/video0 were wrong. I tried changing them by hand to
root:video. I was then able to record this morning. I just tried to
set a recording for 3:30PM in my wife's account. I got another
permissions message in thelog:

I look at the permissions again and they've changed:

I clearly don't understand this yet!
To get around the X-Video issue I've set up MythTV on my laptop.
However when I run mythtv-setup I get messages that it cannot conenct
to the datbase server:
2005-04-24 15:31:02.788 Unable to connect to database!
2005-04-24 15:31:02.788 Driver error was [1/2003]:
QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
Database error was:
Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.10.55' (111)
2005-04-24 15:31:02.788 Failed to init MythContext, exiting.
I look at the netstat data on the server and it's not looking good to me:
dragonfly ~ # netstat -apn | grep myth
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6543 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 31921/mythbackend

Should those IP addresses be all 0's????
