I recently set up my first MythTV system (Linux-2.6.13-rc3, x86-64, FusionHDTV card, Linux DVB interface, NVidia FX5200). When it works, it works great.. very impressive feature set.
But, I have probably a 20% success rate in actually viewing live TV. Most of the time, I only get a blank screen and have to kill mythfrontend to get out of it. I restart the frontend and backend processes, and try it a few more times, eventually I will get lucky and I will get the live TV stream. When that happens, it usually works fine from then on, until I exit live viewing and try to go back again.. I think the card is providing data, as the ringbuffer file is growing, and I can even view the video in it with vlc or mplayer. Is this typical of other HDTV implementations? From what I hear, the DVB drivers for ATSC/QAM are relatively new, could it be related to the driver status (although, if that were the case, why would the backend still be getting data)? Any pointers are greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
