Does that file play ok in mythtv? I ask because both tcprobe and
avidemux are unableto find an audio stream in the recorded file.

Indexing / video extraction with avidemux seems to have completed. I can
only imagine that  avidemux is quite unhappy trying to cut an audio
stream that isn't there.

if the file actually plays with audio in mythtv I'd say your best bet is
to conatct the avidemux2 developers with the output and try to get their
help.

[CrAzY mAD]

Signal strength is at 99%.  The AP and bridge are
about 20ft. apart from each other right now.  Firmware
is the latest.  Both AP and bridge are operating on "G
only"

I tried all the settings and configs on the AP and
bridge without any luck.  Ran a cat6 wire to my
livingroom for Myth, but I'd still like to get this
solved for the family room.  

Anyone else have issues with 802.11G and MythVideo?

Re: [mythtv-users] Thank You

[Robin Smith]

While not as directly insulting as the NYT article, this article still
gets it all wrong. Where do you read anything  complimentary about the
MythTV community? I sure don't see it.

I am curous where all of these reporters and so called "experts" get
the notion that MythTV gives you TV for free? MythTV is NOT about
stealing cable or satellite. Its a technological advancement of the
VCR.

It was okay to schedule a VCR to videotape a show and watch it later.
It was okay to fast forward through the commercials. How is MythTV any
different than this, its just using technology to do it better and
"cooler".

While I can (sort of) understand their argument against automated 
commercial skip (and I would theorize thatthe  people who want to skip
commercials are not the people the commericals are going to profit
from anyway), all of the other features of MythTV have nothing to do
with any illegal or immoral activity. Hell, since it takes so long to
nuvexport a show, I seriously doubt many of the "pirated" shows being
shared through P2P networks are a result of MythTV rips.

So, if someone knows how I can make my MythTV box give me the free
cable/satellite these "experts" are talking about, I'd appreciate them
letting me know. Is that a feature in the soon to be released 0.17?

[mythtv-users] Pundit-R TV out working finally

[Alex Harford]

Is this news to anyone?

After buying a PVR-350 and then realizing that it's not that great for
DVD playback, I decided to try and get the ATI 9100 IGP working, and I
finally did it.

There was a lot of talk on the various boards about using the 3.12
driver to get TV out working, but that didn't work with FC3 because
the 3.12 driver didn't work with XOrg 6.8.

But some smart person (not me) tried using the old 3.12 driver with
the hex edit trick, and it works.  I don't know if it works 100%
because I was so stoked to have it working I thought I would post
here.

Basically what you do is install the 8.8.25 drivers from ATI, but
replace the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o with the hex
edited 3.12 file.  You can extract it from the rpm with a script like
rpm2tgz .

You also need to set the bios setting to TV only.

I'm off to try some DVD playback now. :)

Re: [mythtv-users] reliable australian EPG

[David Whyte]

I have found the grabber that was posted on this list before XMAS is
very reliable.  The only thing that is unreliable now, is that the
commercial stations do not stick to the schedule and short of
recording 10+ minutes after the end of each recording, I have no idea
how to solve this problem.

The next stage should be some live update to the EPG when stations get
off schedule :P

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: FW: New Source Forge Project MythStreamTV

[Robert Denier]

I have not looked at MythStreamTV although if I ever get a useful 
internet connection it sounds fun.  That being said here is just some 
general ideas that may or may not apply.

The original material is probably interlaced.  I don't know what your 
other settings are so its hard to tell what, if anything is the 
problem.  However for anything that has a prayer of being broadcast over 
the internet 320x240 is probably a reasonable max picture size.  If you 
set your capture resolution to that it will most likely only capture a 
single field of video thus preventing any interlacing artifacts that do 
not encode well.  (Ignore for now that you could possibly get an even 
better picture by taking vga resolution video and deinterlacing it with 
something adaptive and then reducing the resolution via something like a 
bilinear filter.  Thats good for when you have lots of cpu time to kill, 
but I'm not sure if this application supports it.)   The main thing is 
to get a clean picture without any interlacing artifacts before feeding 
it into your secondary codec.  You also want to avoid any black bars on 
the outside of the picture if feasible.  Any hard transition is going to 
take more bandwidth to encode.  Similarly any fast moving action scene 
will take more bandwidth.  Finally the final size should be a multiple 
of 8 or 16 probably for the most efficient operation.

One thing I don't understand though, if you are using the highest 
settings, you shouldn't have that much pixelization regardless although 
the compressoin might be horribly inefficient.  Maybe i'm missing 
something, or maybe the highest settings really aren't that high.  What 
is the actual bitrate of the video you are encoding?


Dennis Hand wrote:
I've gotten MythStreamTV up and running. Very nice work :-). My

Simple, run MythVideo under KDE and when your player exits Myth will
not receive the focus back thus requiring you to alt-tab to it.

I've never had that occur - MythVideo/MPlayer/Myth all work fine w/ lirc

[mythtv-users] Re: Anybody gotten DVB-C to work in the Netherlands

[belcampo]

I do have a KNC1 adapter with a CI a CAM and the smartcard I received with the 
set-topbox from Casema.

Look at www.sat4all.com, there are some people who amanaged to get it working 
although not with the current Irdeto smartcards but with older ones, I don't 
know which ones.

What kind of DVB-C hardware do you use ?

I am trying to get TV-Home into my mythbox but can not find out what 
hardware is suitable.
The old Siemens card I have lying around should be able but I could not 
get it to work.
(tried with various windows and linux tools)
How do you tackle the smartcard problem?

Having asked Essent how to get digital access to their DVB-C network 
resulted in: we don't know you have to contact a dealer... (duh)

Re: [mythtv-users] Passively-cooled FX5200 DVI-out video cards?

[Joe Votour]

I'm going to second Wendy's mention of the eVGA card
(Light Version).  I picked one up today (I live near a
couple of Central Computers locations), and as a
bonus, it's on sale until the end of tomorrow (for
those of you in the SF Bay Area).

The card has the GeForce 5200FX chipset, with DVI, VGA
and S-Video outputs, and the package included an
S-Video cable and a DVI to VGA adaptor (so you could
do dual-VGA if you want).

The picture looks pretty good, much better than the
GeForce 440MX it replaced.  I agree with Jarod's
(Wilson) contention that with the flicker-filter
enabled in the nVidia driver (and de-interlacing
disabled in MythTV), the picture is pretty smooth,
except for the odd jitter in slower scrolling screen
messages (fast scrolling is pretty choppy though).

[mythtv-users] Tuning DVB-S channels

[Leandro Dardini]

While I can watch satellite TV using dvbstream and mplayer, I cannot tune
any channel. Doing Scanning, scanning activity stops at 10% with the
following debug on console. No new channels are added.
I try to look at tables to insert manually, but I cannot find the old dvb*
tables present in old mythtv versions.

Any help appreciated.

Re: [mythtv-users] mythweb cvs video error

[Chris Petersen]

I'm getting this in a bunch of different places.  Since this isn't a 
default option enabled for PHP is there a workaround for those of us 
using RPM distributions or will PHP compiled from source be required for 
future releases?
Not sure what you mean by "rpm distributions"..  I'm running fc1 and it 
works fine for me.  What distro are you using?

That routine was added by the japanese translator in order to support 
multibyte text in the video filenames, so I guess you could just remove 
that function call if it's causing problems.  I don't really know of a 
workaround.

RE: [mythtv-users] [OT] - Ebaying Knoppmyth

[Michael J. Emswiler]

Not trying to defend the guy, but technically, he didn't steal the images,
he's pointing to the mythtv website.  The most he's guilty of is plagiarism
for lack of citing from where he's quoting, and perhaps bandwidth theft.
Though I'm sure most of that has been us going to look at it -- I doubt if
anyone here bothered to bid.

[mythtv-users] Slightly OT: 802.11G video stutter - not fast enough?

[CrAzY mAD]

I just installed Myth on a remote machine and have it
connected via a Netgear 802.11G bridge.  MythTV and
recorded TV shows play fine, but my avi movies in
MythVideo stutter every 2 seconds.  

The wireless connect shows 99% and there are no other
wireless devices on my network.  When I plug in a
100mb ethernet cable, the videos play with no stutter.
 

Any one else unable to stream avi files over 802.11g?
Thanks

Now *this* is a valid complaint.

return goatse on img requests with referers outside your own domains,

Yes, I got the optical working...

I've got another question about using the Xbox as a frontend:

If I am recording HDTV on my backend server, can I watch the program live on
my EDTV using the Xbox as the frontend?  Or do I need to transcode the HDTV
recording to 480(p) before I can play it on the Xbox?  If the later is the
case, this will eliminate my ability to pause, rewind and fast forward live
tv.

I like the Xbox solution because of its low cost, small form factor, and the
fact that you get an Xbox too boot, but basic PVR functions take precedence.

Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Re: [mythtv-users] [NEW THEME] 'MythCenter'

[Jason Gabriele]

===
And where can one get the MediaCenter OSD? 
===

Replying to myself like a loonie but I found it:
http://www.radixpub.com/vir/portfolio/mtvmc/
That's my theme. I know it's confusing that the new theme is called 
MythCenter and mine MythTVMediaCenter, however, the two are not related.

That aside, I will be releasing the final version after 0.17 comes out. 
Right now there are too many changes going into cvs and I don't want to 
have to re-release another in a couple of days.

I just noticed that the stdout from mythfrontend is

from either live TV or recorded shows, is that normal
for a slow CPU or is that indicative of something else?

Gainward's website specifically identifies the passive cooling
mechanism.

Active cooling is not always bad.  If you have a location in your case
where air movement is stale, active is a good idea.  A good case won't
have a dead spot and so passive is prefered mostly because it's one 
less
thing to go bad, as noise on it is so minor.
Well, I used ASUS version of the 5200 with active cooling and let me 
tell you – its noise was _far_ from "minor". Actually, I had to buy a 
new cooling kit for it as the noise level was intolerable (for me). 
YMMV as usual though.

[mythtv-users] Fast-Forward is too fast

[Jeffrey Franklin]

I recently upgrade my mythtv box from an Athlon 1Ghz to an Athlon XP
2700 and at the same time I upgraded from mythtv 0.15.1 to 0.16 and my
kernel from 2.4.x to 2.6.10, so I'm not sure what caused the problem. 
When I fast-forward while watching a recording, the 1.5x speed goes at
about 10x (10 seconds of the recording in 1 second).  The other speeds
are proportionally faster, so the 3x speed goes at about 60s of
recording in 1s and the 8x goes at about 2 minutes of recording in 1
second.  Rewind has the same problem.

The playback is fine with proper a/v sync, etc, just the
fast-forward/rewind.  I can't be 100% certain what caused this, but
has anyone else had the same problem?  I did a quick search of the
mailing lists and didn't find anything.

Yup, this has been covered again and again.

The CVS install does not rename and install a file called "mythsetup". That's 
simply something that some packaged versions of mythtv have chosen to do.

The setup program is just built in the root setup directory. i.e. 
"./setup/setup"

Dennis-

You can modify the video bitrate to a higher number if you like. The 
default settings that are included in MythStreamTV are for streaming over 
your broadband connection. So if you are on a lan, by all means pump up 
the VBR.

If you are just trying to view the files on your lan without transcoding 
you could just use VLC and open a link direct to the file in your 
video_dir.

[mythtv-users] Problem with Record New Episodes Only feature?

[Joel Anderson]

Hi all,

I noticed that the "record new episodes only" feature in 0.16 seems to
think that any recording with an "original air date" filled in is a
repeat, even if that date is in the future.

For example the new episode of Crossing Jordan on Feb 13th has this
date filled in as 2005-02-13 in my listing, and Myth is not going to
record because it thinks it is a "repeat".

Anyone else notice this?  I googled but it doesn't seem to have come
up that I can find.

TIA,

I had the exact same problem with the same error you're getting.  For
some reason I was *sure* my serial port was COM2.  Turns out it
wasn't.  Switching to COM1 solved my problem.  Adjust your
modprobe.conf to use a different COM port and see what happens.  You
may want to change it and reboot.  The reason it took me awhile to
figure out is for some reason the com port changes didn't take effect,
even after depmod -a and modprobing everything and restarting lirc.
Since I really don't know what I'm doing anyway, rebooting was an easy
way to make sure everything got loaded up properly...

Fortunatly for me in in the US so I have access to a
reliable EPG.

However, back before I was using myth I had actually
paid money for an EPG for my Creative DPVR, but they
went bust anyway.  I've forgotten who the company was
now.

Something that I thought would be a good idea is an
EPG created like a wiki, i.e. updated by the user
community.  Preferably there would be no monthly fee,
since the maintenance costs would be low due to so
much of the work being done for free by the users. 
Sort of like freedb.org.

the WinTV Go just spits out raw data, so it is not its' fault.  It is
RTJPEG's.  I'm not sure about it, since I have a PVR-350, but many
encoders take advantage of our limited ability to perceive detail at
low light levels -- they give less priority to dark areas.

To do something about these artifacts you should either:

1.  Bump up the encoding bitrate.

2.  Calibrate your TV/Monitor (whichever you use for output) and
capture card with a DVD like Video Essentials or Avia Guide to Home
Theater.  I suspect the brightness level is set too high on your TV or
monitor, which is causing you to see black at a brighter level than it
should be, exposing the artifacts.  Turn down the brightness until you
hit the point where black does not appear to get any darker, then back
off slightly so it is a smidgeon brighter than that.

I had similar issues and what I did was reduce the resolution (the card 
really doesn't capture above 384x256 or something like that) and 
increase the bitrate (I'm using MPEG-4 for my case).  The lower 
resolution should look just as good and the increased quality should 
result in much better viewing of dark shows without increasing file sizes.

I just downloaded linux-dvb cvs stuff but I'm having trouble figuring

[mythtv-users] Script to create human readable symlinks

[Darren Hart]

I spent a couple hours writing a script to create human readable 
symlinks to the mythtv named recordings.  I find this useful when 
creating DVDs of shows, or just looking at the files from something 
other than MythTV.  Right now it isn't at all polished but it does work. 
 The paths are fixed (but easy to change at the top of the file) to 
/mnt/mythtv/recordings and /mnt/mythtv/links.  I am still running 0.15, 
so I', not sure if the relevant parts of the db schema have changed or not.

It creates links of the form (in decreasing order of preference):
title - preference_seq.mpeg
title - description(0-15)_seq.mpeg
title - starttime_seq.mpeg
original file name
where seq is a sequence number in case the same name comes up twice.  I 
use a PVR-250 so it calls them all mpegs.

I thought I'd post it in case anyone else might find it useful.  Have I 
mentioned that I hate perl?  If not, let me get that out of the way: I 
hate perl.  :-)  If there are some perl gurus on the list that would 
like to point out all the things I did wrong or in an amateur fashion, 
please do so - I wouldn't mind being a better perl programmer - even if 
I do hate it.  If you do use it and improve upon it, please post it back 
to me and or the list so we can benefit from your improvements as well.

[mythtv-users] mplayer keyboard problem

[Henk Poley]

When I play something with MythVideo using mplayer, after some time it stops 
responding to keypresses (both my remote and keyboard are just "keyboards" to 
X).

It probably appeared after I updated to 0.16 several weeks ago, but we don't 
play these video's that much, so I only found out friday when there were 
visitors :-/

Does anybody have any clue as what might be going on?

[mythtv-users] Poor recording quality when scene is dark

[Paul Gratz]

Hey all,
  First of all thanks to the developers for such a great piece of
software! On to my problem :-)
  
  I have a WinTV Go card so I'm using software encoding w/ the default
RTJPEG settings for live tv and recording.  I have gone in and set the
following in MythWeb Channel settings:
contrast 23000
bright 28000

Because I noticed that everything was fairly washed out and after
reading this list I saw that people recommended these settings.  After
setting them the normal TV looks great.  My problem is that when I
record things like HBO's Carnival there are alot of very dark scenes and
when things get dark the scene starts to get lots of artifacts and its
very hard to see what is going on.   Do you guys have any
recommendations?  Is this just the price of a cheapy WinTV go card?

Thanks for any help!
Paul

[mythtv-users] reliable australian EPG

[Steve Zamora]

i've been a mythtv user for about six months and i'm constantly
frustrated by the lack of a decent EPG for australian tv. or, for that
matter, any EPG at all that lasts for more than a few months.

i'd like to create a reliable, comprehensive EPG for australians,
containing full episode titles, description, genre, etc...

the downside of this is that it would take up a substantial amount of
my time to do something like this, and i'm a full-time uni student
with two part-time jobs. i was thinking that maybe if i charged, say,
a $10-$20 annual fee for the service, i could afford to quit one of
those jobs. this isn't a money-making exercise, i don't like charging
for it, but i'd really like to see a good australian EPG, and it's a
time-consuming task and i just don't have that kind of time at the
moment.

i'd really like to see an australian EPG that can be relied upon and
has comprehensive info, so i'm hoping i can make this a reality. the
crucial factor though is how many people would sign up for it.

thanks,

steve zamora.

p.s. any suggestions on this matter are appreciated.

Re: [mythtv-users] Torrentocracy with Mandrake 10.1

[Brian J. Murrell]

i don't know why all the hoopla, and to be honest i have not read every
message in this thread, but if the original developers don't want
anything to do with particular plugins at all, that is fine.  as long as
the project is open source (and better yet the APIs for plug-ins
documented), the plugin(s) can/will always survive.

if they need to be developed in some other country with a government
that does not oppress it's constituents in the name of "big industry
lobbying" like the US does, then so be it.

simple solution, no?

it happens all the time.  look at PLF (http://plf.zarb.org/).  they
survive to provide software that may have legal issues in some
jurisdictions to residents of other jurisdictions where no such issues
are present.

Well, considering that the project is Isaac's, his rule is law and 
that's about all there is to say on that.  No one is discouraging 
Torrentocracy development or prohibiting users from using it.  Just 
don't expect official support on the official MythTV lists for a project 
that Isaac chooses not to endorce for whatever reasons.  The beauty of 
open source is that you can do what you want with the product that is 
developed.  No one in this community can stop you from doing legal or 
illegal things with the software.  That being said, with the 
hypersensitive focus on the *real* problem of copyright infringement, 
however you view those laws, they are the laws of this country at least 
and as an open source project, I can venture to guess that Isaac as its 
creater and maintainer and the rest of us that have contributed code, do 
not have the legal resources to fight off a legitimate or even frivilous 
lawsuit arising from the official integration of a highly scrutinized 
feature.  Commercial skip is a good example, but there are fewer 
challeneges to the use of that technology than you will probably find in 
the area of distribution of copyrighted material that would make Isaac 
want to shy away from it.  We can strive for freedom from restrictive 
technologies and laws but we also live in the real world where actions 
have consequences and I for one would hate to see this project die an 
untimely death because of poor judgement in embracing technology with 
dubious perceptions, however unmotivated by truth.

I've done this a couple of times now.
backup your mythconverg database - I usually use webmin to back it up, 
and then when the db is recreated as part of the myth install run the 
backup file as sql on the database.

copy your .mythtv folder in the home directory, this has the channel 
setups in for xmltv etc, and theme caches etc.

copy the XF86Config-4 file from /etc/X11 - your screen settings
copy the lircd.conf file from /etc - your remote config
copy or make a note of the various module options, for tuner and sound 
cards, and for any ir hardware.
copy the asound.state from /etc - sound card settings
copy the fstab file from /etc - config for all partitions

that should cover it I think.
flatten your os, and rebuild the box. reinstall everything in the 
following order, or follow one of the excellent guides

OS
capture card drivers
sound card drivers - hopefully the os should pick them up
IR drivers
graphics card drivers
restore module configs, lirc configs, and X11 configs
reinstall mythtv
restore database
ensure that all your filesystems are set to mount on startup.
have a go. If you have a lot of space available, you could use something 
like systemrescuecd, and image your os partition first before you 
flatten it, which gives you an escape route if the new install goes pear 
shaped.

Ok I'm not affialited with myth other than having taken the time to

lawyers when they get sued by everyone in existence for hurting company 
X's profits?

Heck even if they won the court case, their lives could easily be 
destroyed by legal fees.

For that matter, I according to the ebuild myth is developed under the 
GPL-2 license so I don't see anything stoping you from coding your own 
distribution..

I've done a bit of coding in my life and anyone who does it for free for 
the benefit of others has my respect.

Its *very* easy, all you need to do is backup the database (onto the
recording partition), format and reinstall onto the system partition
then when everything is done restore the database and start
mythbackend/frontend

# mysqldump --add-dump-table -u mythtv -p
mythconverg -c > mythtv_backup.sql

reinstall then setup mysql but *dont* do the
mythtv $ mysql -u mythtv -p < mc.sql
bit,

instead do
mythtv $ mysql -u root -p
mysql> create database mythconverg;
mysql> exit
mythtv $ mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg < mythtv_backup.sql

All the backup/restore database stuff is covered at

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-21.html#ss21.5

If you change the hostname then you will need to follow the instructions for
changing that (again in the documentation).

OTOH if you *only* want to keep your recordings then you want to backup just
the relevent
tables and restore them, I *think* you only need the recorded table, you can
just backup one table (in this example record) by doing

mythtv $  mysqldump -u mythtv -p --add-drop-table
mythconverg record > mythtv_backup_record.sql

And then once you've setup everything just restore that one table.

FWIW I installed and just restored the database and everything worked
perfectly, that
was changing machines (but not hostnames) too, I think the setup program
does need to be run as I think it does a few things other than setup the
database.

Oh and you might want to save your ~mythtv/.mythtv directory too. ;-)

When I would fire up myth, I was getting the error of no tuner, so i
added the following to /etc/rc.local.
/sbin/modprobe ivtv
I originally was using ivtv 0.2.x, but I was just getting static

I thought everything was working, so I set a scheduled recording, and
myth didn't change the channel to what I wanted to record. I looked on

mythfilldatabase, but I did that, and it still doesn't work. I can see
all the channels when I go to schedule a recording, but I can't change

I'm using the Isthmus OSD with MythCenter now and it actually looks very

[mythtv-users] Australian Setup Help Needed

[Hurgh]

Hi all,

I have been looking through the archives for some help, but cant seem
to find the info that I am after.

I have a few problems and have spent many hours trying to get it all
to work, following different guides that all tell me to do different
things.

i have Mythbackend and mythfrontend working and stuff, I have my V4L
card setup and displaying static and I have a tv_grab_au file that
gives me a guide.xml file that I am happy with.

The problem is that I can not get any real picture to display when
watching TV. I am realy just wanting it to be setup as a box to watch
live tv for now, and then once that is working I will set it up to do
recording and stuff..

I have a few questions:

1. Do i need to add the free to air channels by had or is
mythfilldatabase ment to do them for me?

2. If I am ment to add them by hand (which i have no problem doing)
Where can i get a list of the frequencies that I need to use for the
different channels in Melbourne?? I have seen an example for channel 7
on a site but dont know where to get the rest of them from.

I am only trying to setup Free to air TV, and I dont have a Digital
card, just a standard card.

If anyone could point me in the direction to get this info I would
appreciate it alot.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

-Hurgh-

Re: [mythtv-users] IR blaster not working

[Pete Stagman]

Jim,

Couple things you can check.
Try:
#ls -l /dev/lirc*

If you followed that how-to, you should get something like this

crw---  1 root root 61, 1 Jan 29 17:01 /dev/lirc
crw---  1 root root 61, 0 Jan 29 17:01 /dev/lirc0
crw---  1 root root 61, 1 Jan 29 17:01 /dev/lirc1
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root 0 Jan 29 17:01 /dev/lircd
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root 0 Jan 29 17:42 /dev/lircd1

Also, what com/irq are you using?

As a general rule, the folks doing themes and the folks writing code
are two different groups of people.  While some devs, such as myself,
do work on themes from time to time, most do not.

Funny, I don't recall seeing a GPL license for the MythTV websites
content or seeing that text and those images in the MythTV source
anythwere.

Re: [mythtv-users] No comm skip or scan table on remote frontends?

[Nick Rosier]

Just enabled full logging on the backend and did a try:

DoFastForward: Not enough info in positionMap, we need frame 7585 but
highest we have is 180
SyncPositionMap prerecorded, from DB: 14 entries
DoFastForward: Still Not enough info in positionMap, we need frame
7585 but highest we have is 180.  Will seek frame-by-frame

Any idea's where this might be coming from.

Re: [mythtv-users] No comm skip or scan table on remote frontends?

[Nick Rosier]

I'm getting the same problem but myth frontend and backend are on the
same box... Commercial flagging runs after a recording, flags the
commercials but when I try to skip them, I get that the recording is
not flagged. As front- and backend are the same box, don't see how
this could be a TZ problem.
Also around the same time I started getting problems with fast-forward
etc.. It seems as if  MythTV doesn't know the length of a recording.
When fast-forwarding, the total length on OSD keeps changing in stead
of the current time going forward.
I've checked the logs but can't really find any indication of what
might be wrong.
Any ideas? I'm running CVS 20050130-1.
