Blank screen indicates no signal.

 I tried it with /dev/video24 and
 got static

Typical tuner input, no channel, aka white noise.

 and with /dev/video32 I got weird polygonal images.

Probably a station close by, but not tuned in - a tuner input or possible the 
FM radio
port.

  I think
 mythfrontend is freezing up after that 1.5 seconds because it takes
 awhile to get back to the menu screen.  Why is /dev/video spitting out
 nothing now, when it was just fine before I followed the mythtv howto?


Typically a channel and input needs to be switched on before anything will 
display.
Another way to test is to listen if there is audio, but the screen is still 
blank.  That indicates
an incorrect display setting, possibly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

I've been through this numerous times. It's no fun. Sorry.

First, and most important, what does dmesg about ivtv show when you boot?

Second, when you record 10 seconds of data to test.mpg what is the
file size? Zero/small means ivtv simply isn't working. Large means it
is but the tuner or something else is not working correctly.

Note that there are a number of us that are unable to reboot PVR
cards. We must cold boot them to have them operate correctly. Info
will show up in dmesg if you are one of this unfortunate select group.
lspci -x after a warm and cold boot would show a difference.

Hope this helps,

It's been several years since I was sure I knew the difference between
warm and cold boot.  If I remember correctly, cold boot is starting up
the computer from when it had been off for 10+ seconds and warm boot was
simply rebooting it.  By this definition, here is lspci -x from a cold

So you are getting 'data', even if it was black. I see in a second

You are lucky. You do not have the problem I have.

OK, since your other email said you got a picture but Myth isn't
seeing it please try removing the current card setup in mythsetup and
recreating it. I've had a couple of times where an ivtv update caused
the existing card settings to not work. I delete them, recreate it
from scratch, and I'm back to the races.

On other possibility is how you are linking the PVR to Myth. Did yuo
set the video device to /dev/v4l/video0 (not /dev/video0) and the
default input to Tuner 0? In the input connections section did you set
Tuner 0 to your cable listing from Zap2It?

Hope this helps,
Mark

It seems to be working now.  Sort of. mythfrontend isn't lasting longer
than a second and a half.  mythbackend is still dying seemingly
randomly.  It's not leaving logs in /var/log/mythtv.  How can I find out
why it's dying so as to find a way to stop it from dying?

I've had that problem on and off. I have never been able to get a good
response on what causes it. In my case I've deleted and rebuilt
settings as I suggested earlier and it fixed it. In other cases it did
not. Long ago I found that if I installed ivtv-0.2.0 and then
installed ivtv-0.4.0 over the top of it that it fixed it. Probably my
best results have been using ivtv from the web site instead of
portage, but even that hasn't been fool proof.

It's a tough one being that I'm not a developer or even a sys admin -
just a funky stupid user type.

If I can remember anything else I've done I'll write back again.

 That looked OK to me.
 
 
 
   Second, when you record 10 seconds of data to test.mpg what is the
   file size? Zero/small means ivtv simply isn't working. Large means it
   is but the tuner or something else is not working correctly.
  
  camille ~ # cat /dev/video0  temp.mpg
 
  camille ~ # ls -lh temp.mpg
  -rw-r--r--  1 root root 13M Jan  8 11:46 temp.mpg
 
 So you are getting 'data', even if it was black. I see in a second
 email you got a picture now. That's good.
 
   Note that there are a number of us that are unable to reboot PVR
   cards. We must cold boot them to have them operate correctly. Info

 You are lucky. You do not have the problem I have.
 
 OK, since your other email said you got a picture but Myth isn't
 seeing it please try removing the current card setup in mythsetup and
 recreating it. I've had a couple of times where an ivtv update caused
 the existing card settings to not work. I delete them, recreate it
 from scratch, and I'm back to the races.
 
 On other possibility is how you are linking the PVR to Myth. Did yuo
 set the video device to /dev/v4l/video0 (not /dev/video0) and the
 default input to Tuner 0? In the input connections section did you set
 Tuner 0 to your cable listing from Zap2It?
 
 Hope this helps,
 Mark
 

I'm not going to mark my mythtv problem SOLVED until I'm sure that
mythbackend is running stably.  It seems to be working for now.  The
problem is that I can't change channels in mythfrontend.  I'm watching
live TV and I'm hitting the Up arrow key (as specified on mythtv's web
site, but the channel is not changing.  What's worse is that it seems
all that's on the one channel I get is infomercials!  How can I fix
this???  I ran mythsetup and and went to the Channel Editor.  There were
no channels defined.  I wanted the click the Scan For Channels button,
but I couldn't figure out how to get to it.  Also, (I think it was in
mythfrontend) I set the GUI to appear in a window instead of full
screen.  It turned out to be not what I wanted and now I can't find the
option to get the full screen mode back.  Help!

After running mythsetup you then run mythfilldatabase. You should see
it logging into Zap2It and getting the channel data for the next 2
weeks. Is this working for you?

When I hit the up arrow I do get a new channel. I can also just type
in a channel number and jump that way. I see no mention in the
mythbackend.log file that much happened. THere are a coupl eof lines
but they aren't very interesting and I doubt thay had anything to do
with this at all. More likely when I started the frontend on my PC.

Yes. Benn there and done that. Sometimes their serve just doesn't
respond and MYth doesn't pick it up. This should run on your back end
server once a day. Sometime I have only 13/12/11 days worth of data
into the future but eventually it picks up new listings correctly and
your off to the races.

I'm glad you've made headway.

 Next, I want to get mythfrontend working
 on my wife's computer.  It will need to use the database and mythbackend
 on my computer remotely.  Is there anything special I need to know to
 make this work?  I've already set up the IP address in mythsetup on my
 machine to my PC's network address...

The issue here is to get mysql to allow your wife's machine to have
access. I am WOEFULLY inadequate and uneducated in this area. I
promise that I am giving you incomplete or inaccurate info. (Honestly
and openly though...) IIRC you need to do at least three things:

1) Set up mysql on the server to bind to the network. From /etc/mysql/my.cnf

# keep secure by default!
bind-address= 192.168.1.55
port= 3306
# this can make it even more secure:

.55 is our backend address. Substitute your backend's IP and restart
mysql. (NOTE - don't run that machine with DHCP...)

2) Change the settings in mythsetup to use your IP address instead of
localhost. Do not change other settings.

3) You then have to run some mysql commands shown on the web to give
remote devices access to the database. IIRC I used the strategy where
you make eveything on the local net  able to access the server. I
thought it was in the Gentoo wiki but I'm not seeing it right now:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythTV

Go to the MySQL section 9.2. It should have been there, I thought.
(Incorrectly) It's probably in Jarod's Fedora setup guide for MythTV.
The deal here is that the standard setup for MySQL is overly secure
for a MythTV type setup and you need to open it up.

I hope this info is at least moderately helpful. I admit I'm a putz. I
did get it working, but it was nearly a year ago I think.

I did some googling on my name and the problems I had which led me to
the commands I was using, but the thread would make you sick to read,
so I googled on the commands and found this page that has some
reasonable setup instructions. Again, this should be in the Gentoo

 Then you probably aren't.

 x86 is 32 bit. amd64 is 64 bit.

Except that many people run a 32-bit OS on their AMD64s so it really
depends on what kernel he's running.

uname -a

and looking for the processor type would be a better indication:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ uname -a
Linux lightning 2.6.15-rt2 #2 PREEMPT Thu Jan 5 16:13:25 PST 2006
x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $

So this is a 64-bit kernel running on a 64-bit processor. However I
have a chroot'ed 32-bit environment on the same machine:

lightning ~ # uname -a
Linux lightning 2.6.15-rt2 #2 PREEMPT Thu Jan 5 16:13:25 PST 2006 i686
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
lightning ~ #

The 32-bit area runs Java, Flash, win32codecs, etc., successfully. The
64-bit does not.

CREDITS: Many thinks to Billy Holmes and others on the gentoo-AMD64
list for helping me with this.

Cheers,

There's no mythbackend.log in /var/log/mythtv (there usually is when
there's an error), and if I just restart mythbackend it seems to stay
up, though I can't figure out why it's doing it.  Here's more output:

mythfrontend is no longer freezing up after a 1.5 seconds (or as far as
I can tell it's not)  Instead it's just giving me a blank screen.  On a
previous run it told me that I should go into TV Settings-Recording
Profiles-Sofware Encoders and set them up.  I found them in
mythfrontend and selected their default settings.  Now it still dies and
I still get the blank screen in mythfrontend...

 You didn't do anything wrong.  And I'm not sure why it's kicking you back

 Mythfrontend does run fine with that combo.
 
 One thing I note is the backend is still telling you that mythsetup hasn't 
 been run to
 attach a channel to the port and to the rest of the setup.  That step is not 
 detailed in
 the wiki.  You need to assign the those via mythsetup, before running the 
 front end
 
 Surf to - http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html and scroll down to jusr
 passed the STOP sign, and work through - Mythtv-setup.

I tried the test cat /dev/video0  test.mpg and opening it in mplayer
and all I got was the blank screen.  I tried it with /dev/video24 and
got static and with /dev/video32 I got weird polygonal images.  I think
mythfrontend is freezing up after that 1.5 seconds because it takes
awhile to get back to the menu screen.  Why is /dev/video spitting out
nothing now, when it was just fine before I followed the mythtv howto?

   So seems you have an Intel-910/915 video controler (i don't have Intel).
   So switch CONFIG_AGP=ON and afterwards enable Intel-910 ot similar video 
   controler.
   Could do a: genkernel --menuconfig --install all - this will use your 
   old config
   display a text-driven menu for kernel config and after exiting will 
   compileinstall
   (in /boot) your new kernelmodules.
   If you wish backup the old one before that.

  Earlier this afternoon I compiled and booted a new kernel with
  CONFIG_AGP=y, but now when I run genkernel --menuconfig all I can't
  find anything that even hints at being Intel-=910 or video
  controller.  Where would it be at?

 Hi,
 The chipset support is right below CONFIG_AGP setting.
 ...
 Character devices ---
   /dev/agpgart (AGP support)
   Inter chipset ...
 ...
 There's only one option for Intel chipset support (from 810-I915).
 If made as modules put the appropriate entries in 
 /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
 PS:could check the genkernel guide too.
 HTH.Rumen

The only entry for Intel immediately below /dev/agpgart on mine is:

Intel 440LX/BX/GX, I8xx and E7x05 chipset support.  Is this correct?  It
doesn't sound like what you've described...

Use lspci or lshw (emerge if not available), use -v -vv -vvv for a more 
verbose output.
Tuning your kernel *requires* you to at least know what your basic hardware is. 
Manual ?
Try: #lspci | grep -i VGA or lspci | grep -i video
Or post the output here.

So seems you have an Intel-910/915 video controler (i don't have Intel).
So switch CONFIG_AGP=ON and afterwards enable Intel-910 ot similar video 
controler.
Could do a: genkernel --menuconfig --install all - this will use your old 
config
display a text-driven menu for kernel config and after exiting will 
compileinstall
(in /boot) your new kernelmodules.

  So seems you have an Intel-910/915 video controler (i don't have Intel).
  So switch CONFIG_AGP=ON and afterwards enable Intel-910 ot similar video 
  controler.
  Could do a: genkernel --menuconfig --install all - this will use your old 
  config
  display a text-driven menu for kernel config and after exiting will 
  compileinstall
  (in /boot) your new kernelmodules.
  If you wish backup the old one before that.

 Earlier this afternoon I compiled and booted a new kernel with
 CONFIG_AGP=y, but now when I run genkernel --menuconfig all I can't
 find anything that even hints at being Intel-=910 or video
 controller.  Where would it be at?

Hi,
The chipset support is right below CONFIG_AGP setting.
...
Character devices ---
/dev/agpgart (AGP support)
Inter chipset ...
...
There's only one option for Intel chipset support (from 810-I915).
If made as modules put the appropriate entries in 
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
PS:could check the genkernel guide too.

Nevermind.  I forgot to put ivtv in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.
I added it and modprobed ivtv and now /dev/v4l is there.

My test footage could be played back in mplayer (although it was a
little jerky, but I think that had to do with the plugin mplayer was
using.  I can't get the xv plugin to work.  I tried mythfrontend again
(after starting mythbackend) and it froze up again.  What's next?

As you can see, at 23:14:33:122 it says joined null string to
WriteStringList.  I don't know much about complex programming and
barely anything at all about mythtv itself, but in my experience using
objects that have a null value is not usually a good thing (if ever).
Is this normal for MythTV?

Well, I've got the PVR-350.  Have you re-emerged the ivtv drivers?  They should
be something like -

  I went ahead and allotted 40GB (from my Windows partion zapped away by
  QParted) for my tv partition.  I followed the wiki all the way through
  except for one part:  My Input Connections screen is blank.  The wiki
  said that this was a permissions issue, but as I'm trying to do this as
  root at the moment I don't think permissions should be a problem.  Just
  in case, here's what the relevant permissions look like:

I'm guessing you're running devfs?  Thus every node in the world.
If not, and you really are running udev, then edit /etc/conf.d/rc and
change - RC_DEVICE_TARBALL=yes to no and reboot.  That should
clear out all the useless nodes.

Have you tried /dev/video1?

 Also, do all nodes exists in /dev/v4l?  If I were running MythTV,

According to xawdecode -h, 

 -c video device
  video4linux video device. For devfs enabled systems, default  is
  /dev/v4l/video  or /dev/v4l/video0, in that order. For non devfs

 Subject: OT - Need MythTV setup help

 I went ahead and allotted 40GB (from my Windows partion zapped away by
 QParted) for my tv partition.  I followed the wiki all the way through
 except for one part:  My Input Connections screen is blank.  The wiki
 said that this was a permissions issue, but as I'm trying to do this as
 root at the moment I don't think permissions should be a problem.  Just
 in case, here's what the relevant permissions look like:
