I have setup a new amd64 3200+ with debian etch (testing) as a remote frontend. I am using the subversion trunk. In general I am getting very strange things happening. I am using a 2.6.12 kernel.
Some of the problems include, when selecting to watch live tv, myth will hang on a black screen, and stay hung. No verbose output, just hangs. Same problem with watching recordings. Some times it does produce verbose output: mythtv$ mythfrontend 2005-07-16 00:25:20.326 New DB connection, total: 1 Total desktop width=1600, height=1200, numscreens=1 2005-07-16 00:25:20.338 Running in a window 2005-07-16 00:25:20.347 Using screen 0, 1600x1146 at 0,27 2005-07-16 00:25:20.360 mythfrontend version: 0.19.20050712-1 www.mythtv.org 2005-07-16 00:25:20.360 Enabled verbose msgs : important general Total desktop width=1600, height=1200, numscreens=1 2005-07-16 00:25:20.511 Running in a window 2005-07-16 00:25:20.511 Using screen 0, 1600x1146 at 0,27 2005-07-16 00:25:20.522 Switching to square mode (Iulius) 2005-07-16 00:25:20.693 Joystick disabled. 2005-07-16 00:25:20.750 Registering Internal as a media playback plugin. 2005-07-16 00:25:22.166 New DB connection, total: 2 2005-07-16 00:25:22.203 Connecting to backend server: 192.168.2.24:6543 (try 1 of 5) 2005-07-16 00:25:22.228 Attempting to change from None to WatchingLiveTV 2005-07-16 00:25:22.239 Using protocol version 17 2005-07-16 00:25:23.370 taking too long to be allowed to read.. 2005-07-16 00:25:42.367 StartPlayer() -- error 2005-07-16 00:25:42.425 LiveTV not successfully started and then hangs on the black output screen.
