I wouldn't criticize KnoppMyth too heavily until you've tried installing Myth on your own using another distro. > 2. I now have my network working.

The mythfrontend log must be enabled "manually" by starting mythfrontend from a window and giving it a debug flag. I suspect your problem is the database isn't initialized for some reason. > 4.

What am I > doing wrong here? Is there a log I can check? You're trying to watch an encrypted DVD which Hollywood lawyers consider illegal. You need to install libdecss. Check out the Knoppmyth forum for hints -- SEARCH the forum, don't bother asking this question, you'll just get spanked. > Feel free to to kick, troll, and insult me, but please offer > assistance too. I recommend you head over to the Knoppmyth forum at http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/ and search for answers, plus ask questions. Regardless of your opening statement, KnoppMyth *IS* the easiest way to get a Myth box up and running, and Cecil, Dale and the others have worked very hard to make it that way. (Just because it's "easiest" it doesn't make it "easy.") When you come to the forum, please respect the hard work others have done to make the process simpler for those of us who follow. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
