It appears that the default setting is for the old kernel. I have no idea what kernel was running before. I've updated the ivtv driver for the new kernel and it is loading fine. The problems we are seeing now are: 1) Old recordings have audio. Recent recordings do not. Chalk that up to some temporary problem that we'll fix. No big deal. 2) Watch TV just freezes. We get 1 second of audio and 1 second of video. The frozen screen sits for 5-10 second and then Myth comes back to the normal 6 circle screen where you choose what do do. This is a major problem. 3) If I look in the mythbackend log file I see this: 2005-11-18 14:51:35.786 joined null string in WriteStringList 2005-11-18 14:52:14.938 adding: gandalf as a client (events: 0) 2005-11-18 14:52:14.954 adding: gandalf as a client (events: 0) 2005-11-18 14:52:14.961 adding: gandalf as a remote ringbuffer 2005-11-18 14:52:17.367 joined null string in WriteStringList 2005-11-18 14:55:22.760 adding: gandalf as a client (events: 0) 2005-11-18 14:55:22.908 adding: gandalf as a client (events: 1) 2005-11-18 15:00:02.383 ChannelBase: Could not find input: Tuner 0 on card when setting channel 2 We attempted to set up a 3PM recording on channel 2. The last line looks like problems. I'm looking at the failing machine and comparing it to my working machine here. The groups seem to be the same. - Mark _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
