I had MythTV working perfectly with linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r5. I've tried to upgrade to linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 using genkernel and basing the newer kernel's configuration off of the older one. I've booted with the new kernel, remerged ivtv and rebooted again with the new kernel, but still I cannot watch LiveTV in mythfrontend. Here's the output of mythbackend.log:
camille ~ # cat /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log Starting up as the master server. It is current (I stopped mythbackend, deleted the old mythbackend.log, restarted syslog-ng and then mythbackend.) When I start mythfrontend and ask to watch LiveTV, all I see is the blank screen. Here is the output of running mythfrontend from my terminal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mythfrontend 2006-03-13 13:30:34.209 New DB connection, total: 1 Total desktop width=1024, height=768, numscreens=1 2006-03-13 13:30:34.229 Using screen 0, 1024x768 at 0,0 2006-03-13 13:30:34.249 mythfrontend version: 0.18.1.20050510-1 www.mythtv.org 2006-03-13 13:30:34.250 Enabled verbose msgs : important general 2006-03-13 13:30:34.526 Switching to square mode (G.A.N.T.) mythtv: could not connect to socket mythtv: No such file or directory lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages 2006-03-13 13:30:34.952 Joystick disabled. 2006-03-13 13:30:35.069 Registering Internal as a media playback plugin. 2006-03-13 13:30:40.671 New DB connection, total: 2 2006-03-13 13:30:40.710 Connecting to backend server: 192.168.1.3:6543 (try 1 of 5) 2006-03-13 13:30:40.733 Using protocol version 15 2006-03-13 13:30:40.890 Using protocol version 15 2006-03-13 13:30:46.209 taking too long to be allowed to read.. 2006-03-13 13:30:51.213 taking too long to be allowed to read.. 2006-03-13 13:31:00.218 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2006-03-13 13:31:04.222 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2006-03-13 13:31:08.226 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2006-03-13 13:31:12.230 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2006-03-13 13:31:16.234 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2006-03-13 13:31:20.238 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2006-03-13 13:31:24.242 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2006-03-13 13:31:28.246 Waited 4 seconds for data to become available, waiting again... 2006-03-13 13:31:28.247 Waited 14 seconds for data to become available, aborting Couldn't read file: rbuf://192.168.1.3:6543/mnt/store//ringbuf1.nuv 2006-03-13 13:31:28.303 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2006-03-13 13:31:28.303 Decoder not alive, and trying to play.. 2006-03-13 13:31:48.307 ReadStringList timeout (quick).
