| Iluvatar | I can't watch TV on my new Mythbuntu 10.04 installation. | 03:46 |
|---|---|---|
| Iluvatar | When I select watch TV, the unit waits about 2 secs and if it doesn't get a good signal, it exits out back to Mythbuntu, with an error about "buffering failing too many times" !! | 03:46 |
| Iluvatar | I have to that log in again and go through the whole routine again. | 03:46 |
| Iluvatar | What is happening here? I know it does work - it did so, briefly, this morning. | 03:46 |
| Iluvatar | P.S. I'm running a DVB-T tuner card (AVerMedia AVerTV DVB-T 771 using PAL for Sydney DVB channels). | 03:46 |
| mrand | Iluvatar: first step is always to make sure the tuner works fine outside of myth. | 03:50 |
| mrand | (which you can do with vlc or mplayer or even just "cat > /dev/tuner_device_name"). Note that you may need to tune channel(s) first. | 03:55 |
| mrand | You may also want to look into seeing if anyone else in the myth world is using a tuner with the same chipset (type) successfully by searching ubuntu forums or mythtv mailing lists. | 03:56 |
| Iluvatar | mrand: Thanks for the reply. I know the tuner works well inside myth, because this machine was working PERFECTLY (using and old port of myth) before I put Mythbuntu on it. The problem was that I can't get an EPG. | 04:48 |
| Iluvatar | I decided to try Mythbuntu after looking at the options of trying to put Shepherd onto it. (http://svn.whuffy.com/) | 04:51 |
| Zinn | [svn.whuffy.com] Shepherd â Trac | 04:51 |
| Iluvatar | Zinn: what do you think? Would this be easier? (Mine is an old Mandrake 10.0 distro) | 04:53 |
| Zinn | Hi Iluvatar, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. | 04:53 |
| Iluvatar | Don't know how to use a bot ! | 04:53 |
| Iluvatar | I wish the bot could fix my HMC ! :-( | 04:54 |
| Iluvatar | Anyone got any ideas? | 05:02 |
| mrand | Iluvatar: I'm going to bed, but it would still be worth checking that your tuner still works on the latest kernel outside of myth. Doing this divides the problem in half... it either confirms or eliminates that the problem is in the kernel, or in myth. If it is in the kernel, you need to try a different version of Ubuntu. If it's in myth, try a different version of myth ;-) | 05:03 |
| Iluvatar | mrand: thanks for the comments. Off to bed ! you must be a night shift worker or a very hard long shift worker. | 05:11 |
| Technophil1 | Hi was told awhile ago to install apport to catch crashes on BE however I've failed to get reports using this. This time it says the BE crashed on an assertion failure, message not retrieved. Is this of any interest? | 10:56 |
| mcscruff | Hi all, i have just setup my 10.10 box, got the TV tuner working fine. But i have now copied a few mp3's to /var/lib/mythtv/music and the frontend can't see any files, this is also the same for an avi i have put in the video folder, but the images work fine | 14:36 |
