Good luck!
Sorry 'bout your hair :) I'm trying your tip right now. I first got a message about mythbackend being unable to access the file /var/video/nfslockfile.lock. That one was trivial, I just did a chmod a+w on that file. Now, when I start mythbackend from Konsole, I get this message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mythbackend 2005-07-29 16:09:21.776 New DB connection, total: 1 Starting up as the master server. 2005-07-29 16:09:21.782 New DB connection, total: 2 Error getting inputs for the capturecard. Perhaps you have forgotten to bind video sources to your card's inputs? 2005-07-29 16:09:21.789 Channel(/dev/v4l/video0): CheckChannel failed. Please verify channel "3" in the "setup" Channel Editor. Starting mythfrontend and try to watch TV now, I get a black screen with the message "1: composite 0" appearing briefly in the upper left corner in large letters. I guess that binding video sources to my card's inputs is easy when you know how to do it, but could you please give me a hint on that one too? -- Leif Biberg Kristensen http://solumslekt.org/ _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
