This didn't exist as a problem on 0.3.3.
That's a timezone issue...According to www.timezoneconverter.com 19:40 PST is 03:40 GMT/UTC. Are you setting the timezone correctly in your dongle.config? According to http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/mvpmc.config the correct set of timezone variable commands you'll need with the US's new timezones is: TZ=PST+8PDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2 export TZ echo "TZ=$TZ" >> /etc/shell.config echo "export TZ" >> /etc/shell.config > Problem 2 > > When I start watching a show, typically with the intro bit, then > commercials, > > I start skipping forward to get past the commercials, then the screen goes > black, at that point I hit stop twice, then restart watching the show and I > am able to forward past the commercials without issue.

This sounds like it might be related to the flakey JIT code in 0.3.4, try the latest nightly build and see if taht resolves that issue. > My config file follows > > MYTHSERV=10.12.13.14 > MYSQLSERV=$MYTHSERV > MYSQLUSER=mythtv > MYSQLPASS=**************** > DBNAME=mythconverg > > # Setup timezone > TZ=PST8PDTDT,M3.22.0/2,M11.7.0/2 This seems to vary from the suggested TZ shown above, give that a spin instead. > export TZ > > # Set current time > rdate -s pool.ntp.org Er...rdate doesn't use ntp....You should really be doing: ntpdate -s pool.ntp.org > # setup display font and location to save config settings > mkdir -p /mvpmc_media/settings > mount.cifs //10.12.13.10/mvpmc-settings /mvpmc_media/settings -o username=mvp > > export HNAME=`hostname` > hostname `cat /mvpmc-media/settings/$HNAME` > export HNAME=`hostname` > > mvpmc -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s $MYTHSERV -y $MYSQLSERV -u $MYSQLUSER -p > $MYSQLPAS > > # setup mounting to view photos > mkdir /mvpmc_media/pictures > mount.cifs //10.12.13.10/shared /mvpmc_media/pictures -o username=********** > > Any ideas on what's up?

See my example above for how to do that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
