I've installed mercurial and downloaded/installed the v4l-dvb drivers. Kdetv now sees the WinTV-HVR 900 and can tune in to 6 free-to-air channels, but without sound :(
However, mythtv cannot connect to the backend server, asks whether the server is running or is the IP address wrong. It is looking for mythconverg, user mythtv, password mythtv. The IP address is localhost, but 127.0.0.1 doesn't work either. Using knoda, I can connect to the mythconverg database and view its tables, so I'm not sure why mythtv fails. After getting this far, I don't want to give up now :) -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.1, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
