I found a page at http://mythtv.info/moin.cgi/XmlTv/MythChannelSetup that got me thinking. In mythsetup I opened the Channel editor, and changed the freqid field to the frequency numbers instead of the short PAL europe-west aliases. In MySQL, it now looks like this: mysql> select chanid,channum,freqid,name from channel order by chanid; +--------+---------+--------+-------------------+ | chanid | channum | freqid | name | +--------+---------+--------+-------------------+ | 1 | 1 | 287250 | NRK 1 | | 2 | 2 | 196250 | NRK 2 | | 3 | 3 | 210250 | TV 2 | | 4 | 4 | 231250 | TVNorge | | 6 | 6 | 259250 | TV 3 | | 7 | 7 | 266250 | TV4 | | 8 | 8 | 189250 | SVT 1 | | 9 | 9 | 217250 | SVT 2 | | 10 | 10 | 154250 | Discovery Channel | | 14 | 14 | 252250 | Disney | | 15 | 15 | 294250 | BBC World | | 17 | 17 | 280250 | Eurosport | | 18 | 18 | 161250 | Animal Planet | +--------+---------+--------+-------------------+ 13 rows in set (0.00 sec) Now, mythbackend doesn't report any failures at all. But it still won't show anything but a blank screen, while the CPU goes full throttle. As a collateral damage, it now also borks the access to the video card so I can't watch TV with Mplayer without rebooting. -- Leif Biberg Kristensen http://solumslekt.org/ _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
