I didn't respond to your other post (
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/156907?#156907 )
last night because I couldn't figure out what you're talking about and
was hoping someone else would interpret your question better than me.
So, what do you mean by, "i only get a blank screen when recording?"
Recording is done by the backend and the backend does not affect the
screen (the mythfrontend /is/ the screen).
Do you mean, "When playing back recordings, I only see a blank
screen?" Or, perhaps, "My system records only black with no audio,
and I've verified this by playing a recording on another computer with
another media player?" Or, something different?

Hello Mike,
Thanks for getting back to me. I fully know how mythtv works,
backend/frontend, etc.. In my frustation, shorter emails go out, ya
know? Anyway, when your watching tv and you select "m", it takes you to
the schedule and show the current channel in the upper right corner (if
that's your option). Then when you hit enter and decide to record that
running show, it will change to recording (and watching) the selection
you just made because when your recording you can't watch another
channel, etc. It's at that point that my screen goes black, no sound no
anything. I can hear the drive crunching, look in the directory that the
recording is going into, and watch it grow, just it is only recording a
black screen, no video, no audio. I have started mythfrontend with -v
all option and looking at that see that it is bitching about audio rates
that it wants and cant have and that it is dropping frames, so I suspect
that it's a sound issue. I had it configured with the onboard via sound
card, then installed a sound blaster live, still same results. Sound
works fine for watching tv and all other sound functions. Also, if I run
"cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/someshow.mpg, it records beautifully with sound,
etc. I must have some setting wrong in my myth record options but this
is a pvr-350 and initially thought I had something wrong with the ivtv
modules. I have
AMD 3000+, FC4, 512MB RAM, 2.6.13-1352 kernel with all options installed
as per wilsonet.com/mythtv.
Not real familiar with ivtv, I thought that maybe it was trying to
record using a different device node, whatever. At this point I am
really frustrated, any thoughts? TIA
