Hi, I was experiencing the dreaded prebuffering pause problems with 0.18.1 so after talking with a couple of other guys in the #mythtv-users IRC channel I updated to SVN 8577. If this means I should go to the dev list, please let me know.
Since the update was performed, LiveTV has stopped working. I've had a look through the archives and found one person posting that the same happened to them and that is was fixed last month sometime. Symptoms are that selecting Watch TV just puts a black screen up and I can only get out by killing mythfrontend and restarting it. Recording still works fine. Any ideas would be more than welcome! The system is an Epia M10000 with a Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T card. The same thing happens when either Via XvMC or standard is selected and XvMC works fine under 0.18.1. Here's the output from mythfrontend when Watch TV is selected: 2006-01-15 11:23:29.269 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 5) 2006-01-15 11:23:29.278 Using protocol version 23 2006-01-15 11:23:29.350 TV: Attempting to change from None to WatchingLiveTV 2006-01-15 11:23:29.358 Using protocol version 23 0: start_time: -9223372036854.775 duration: -9223372036854.775 stream: start_time: -9223372036854.775 duration: -9223372036854.775 bitrate=0 kb/s 2006-01-15 11:23:31.681 AFD: Opened codec 0x82b6620, id(MPEG2VIDEO_XVMC_VLD) type(Video) 2006-01-15 11:23:31.681 NVP: Disabling Audio, params(-1,-1,-1) 2006-01-15 11:23:31.683 AFD: Initializing audio parms from audio track #0 2006-01-15 11:23:31.684 AFD: Audio format changed from id(NONE) -1Hz -1ch 0bps ; id(NONE) -1Hz -1ch 0bps to id(NONE) -1Hz -1ch 0bps ; id(NONE) -1Hz -1ch 0bps 2006-01-15 11:23:31.684 NVP: Disabling Audio, params(0,-1,-1) 2006-01-15 11:23:36.193 Realtime priority would require SUID as root. 2006-01-15 11:23:36.198 TV: Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2006-01-15 11:23:36.719 Video timing method: DRM 2006-01-15 11:23:37.722 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times. 2006-01-15 11:23:38.722 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times. 2006-01-15 11:23:40.229 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times. 2006-01-15 11:23:43.098 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times. 2006-01-15 11:23:44.518 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times. 2006-01-15 11:23:45.978 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times. 2006-01-15 11:23:47.498 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times. 2006-01-15 11:23:48.960 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times. 2006-01-15 11:23:50.482 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times.
