I have a long post: PLEASE HELP~ I have a Hauppauge PVR-350 and I have read every howto and wiki there is This box has an AGP TNT2 card, (2) Hard drives, (1) DVD burner, (1) PVR-350, (1) Hawking WiFi cart(rt2500) when I run myth now I find the following problems, 1) I can't have ivtv-fb loaded when I startx --- after X comes up, I modprobe ivtv-fb first thing. 2)I am running this as root because the permissions on the /dev/ directory are in quesiton, chmod -R 777 /dev/* by root allows the mythtv user to get the same results as root. To eliminate problems I just did this as root to be sure permissions were not the problem. 3)I get NO TV!!! when I select watch TV I can see on my TV the myth info, channel number, program name and description, ect. I hit the "c" key to change to the different composite0,1,2,3,4 inputs but it is all the same. 5) I have tried US-Cable, US-Cable-hrc, US-bcast.. nothing seems to change the result.(how can I tell what it is anyway) 6)lirc does not work and I don't know what else to do, but that take a back seat to getting the video in the first place. 7)scheduling recording works, it is all black but the video is titled what it should have recorded.
I have not touched the xorg.conf file because I don't want X to open into TV yet, since it is broke! I feel that the PVR-350 is being used by myth to output the info, I think my input is failing. please please help below is the info I can think of: myth_hostname ~ # mythbackend 2005-09-05 17:16:33.799 New DB connection, total: 1 Starting up as the master server. 2005-09-05 17:16:33.819 New DB connection, total: 2 2005-09-05 17:16:33.834 New DB connection, total: 3 2005-09-05 17:16:33.971 New DB scheduler connection 2005-09-05 17:16:33.985 mythbackend version: 0.18.1.20050510-1 www.mythtv.org 2005-09-05 17:16:33.985 Enabled verbose msgs : important general 2005-09-05 17:16:35.977 Reschedule requested for id -1. 2005-09-05 17:16:37.110 Scheduled 43 items in 1.1 = 0.40 match + 0.73 place 2005-09-05 17:16:37.115 Seem to be woken up by USER 2005-09-05 17:16:48.994 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-09-05 17:16:48.994 adding: myth_hostname as a client (events: 0) 2005-09-05 17:16:49.038 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-09-05 17:16:49.039 adding: myth_hostname as a client (events: 1) 2005-09-05 17:16:49.062 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-09-05 17:16:49.062 adding: myth_hostname as a client (events: 0) 2005-09-05 17:16:49.094 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-09-05 17:16:49.094 adding: myth_hostname as a client (events: 0) 2005-09-05 17:16:49.110 adding: myth_hostname as a remote ringbuffer 2005-09-05 17:16:49.130 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2005-09-05 17:20:25.887 Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None here is what happens when I try to run the front end**** myth_hostname ~ # mythfrontend 2005-09-05 17:16:41.259 New DB connection, total: 1 Total desktop width=1024, height=768, numscreens=1 2005-09-05 17:16:41.267 Using screen 0, 1024x768 at 0,0 2005-09-05 17:16:41.274 mythfrontend version: 0.18.1.20050510-1 www.mythtv.org 2005-09-05 17:16:41.275 Enabled verbose msgs : important general 2005-09-05 17:16:41.763 Switching to square mode (blue) 2005-09-05 17:16:42.362 Registering Internal as a media playback plugin. 2005-09-05 17:16:42.389 Registering MythDVD DVD Media Handler as a media handler 2005-09-05 17:16:42.391 Registering MythDVD VCD Media Handler as a media handler mythtv: could not connect to socket mythtv: Connection refused lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages 2005-09-05 17:16:42.463 Joystick disabled.
