[mythtv-users] Mythvideo behavior since last update?
It seems that, since I last updated mythtv last weekend (atrpms), my mythvideo has developed some annoying behavior of displaying a pop up box which keeps coming up whenever I try to watch a video. When (try to) elect a movie or clip to watch it displays a box with choices of: - Watch This video - Get Full Plot - Cancel Selecting Cancel or Watch This Video just results in the box being displayed again. Only by pressing escape I can get it to go away. Some files still play normally but after pressing stop on the remote the box is coming up again. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? BTW I tried updating mythtv today but it fails with: Error: Missing Dependency: /lib/modules/v4l-cx2341x-init-mpeg.bin is needed by p ackage ivtv-kmdl-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 Jurgen ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Channel icons don't show up in guide
I just managed to add some channel icons to my mythtv setup by manually inserting them in the channel table. But now the don't show up in the TV guide. The channel editor in mythtvsetup shows that the are configured correctly. What else needs updating to make the icons appear? The icons are in png format, is this supported?

[mythtv-users] Replaced FX5200 with 6200 -> no video with mythvideo
I just replaced my nvidia FX5200 based videocard with a Nvidia 6200 (AGP) based one. The nvidia driver picks up the new card without problem and Mythtv comes up nicely again, but as soon as I try to watch live TV or earlier recorded shows I only get a black screen. Mythfrontend seems to be hanging completely and does not respond to either keyboard or remote. Killing it with ssh from a remote machine gives me back my screen. When a play a recording using mplayer it just playes fine. Do I need to change some setting in myth to get video working again?
