I was getting warnings that Mythfilldatabase wasn't running but
following some changes,
those seem to have stopped.
After further advances in learning to complete some of the missing
fields in MythTV Setup,
I was still having trouble. I tried $mplayer /dev/video0 and to my
surprise, up came
London's ITV1 (Channel 23) approx 487.22 Mhz. It wasn't stable but
recompiling a more
recent version with ./configure --disable-runtime-cpudetection seemed to
cure it.
I exited mplayer and clicked the MythTVbackend. I then ran ps -ax|more
to check that it was
running. I clicked the MythTV Frontend icon and got a black screen with
the hard drive having
short bursts of activity at regular intervals. It reminded me of the
sound of pall bearers
carrying a coffin.
I ESCaped and terminated the backend and tried mplayer again. This time
all I got was a
window with thin horizontal black and white stripes.
I'm out of ideas.
Oh! one final thing, I accidentally installed a capture card pointing to
/dev/video in addition
to one pointing to /dev/video0. I only have one card. Can I delete the
first entry? Indeed
should I?
TIA
Alan
