Hi, hopefully someone has an idea or two about this, as I'm stumped.
Last month I upgraded from 0.17 to 0.18. The upgrade went smooth until I hit a small snag -- I can watch TV or play music just fine, but when I try to browse the videos on the system, look at previously recorded programs, or look at previously recorded items, I get the right page, but it's blank. The system becomes non-responsive (I can't exit the program, tab out, bring up a console, or panic out via alt + ctrl + backspace). I can, however, shutdown the system by via the power button, so the system isn't completely locked.
checked the database, backed it up, and ran a repair just-in-case, however it came up all fine. My next step was to purge the database and try a fresh one (at this point I figured my saved TV recordings were justifiable casualties). This was actually worse, as the fresh DB hangs at the mythfrontend background (no menu) but otherwise the same (can shut down with the power button, but no response via keyboard / mouse).
At this point, I decided I had been planning on doing a fresh install anyway. So, I wiped the system, did a fresh install (using the RPMS at atrpms.net), and ran the setup. It worked once, in that when I loaded the fields for the the fields for the record, recorded, etc. (there are four, however I'm at work and can't check the other two), and moved the backups of the recordings into the proper place, everything showed up. I was happy, I could watch the ones I hadn't watched. Then I restarted... and it came back to the same problem. Dropped the database and reloaded... and I was back at the blank myth background.
Currently I've loaded my backup DB back in, so I can at least watch liveTV and listen to music, but I can't move around inside Myth for fear of having to restart the system again... does anyone have any suggestions? I'm out of ideas, and I haven't been able to find anything relevant in the group messages or in the documentation.
Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely, Chuck
