Re: [mythtv-users] fusionhdtv 5 lite -- how do i make it work?
Check that your channel information is correct. I had to manual set my frequency/mplexid/serviceid in the database. The channel scan didn't work for me. I just set mine up yesterday and love the quality of the picture. Wow. Now to get my M179 to work in the same box. If it helps, I used the following information: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/162718?search_string=dvico%20fusion;#162718 Matt On Wed, 2006-01-11 at 07:05 -0800, Mudit Wahal wrote: On 1/10/06, Michael Freeman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i just added a fusionhdtv 5 lite to my box...linux knows it's there, it can pick up channels with a scan, and mythfilldatabase has been run. yet when i tune to it, i get nothing...blackness and then mythfrontend drops back to the main menu. what am i doing wrong? Instead of tuning live tv, try recording a channel. Then you can test whether the live TV channel tune/change for the hdtv is broken or the card doesn't work at all. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I was going to mention the same thing (but I'm at work and didn't have access to the exact filenames to mention). This was with the ATrpms for nVidia. My symptom was that it caused by machine to bail out of X whenever any application used GLX calls (glxgears, bzflag, etc.). I'm sure that installing libglx.so.xxx into a subdirectory of /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions was deliberate on Axel's part, but its apparently not normal for X to check subdirectories of that directory for additional extensions on startup, and I couldn't figure out which config file to tweak to make it look there. Thank you both for mentioning this. I had that exact problem but since I didn't want to re-compile with opengl-sync enabled, I had ignored the problem. Moving and linking the files got me working opengl and 60 fps in glxgears. Disabling vsync in nvidia-settings bumped me up to 1460 on my 7NIF2's integrated MX400. Thanks!

Re: [mythtv-users] No menu items in mythfrontend
Do you have RenderAccel set to 1 in your xorg.conf? That was causing similar problems for me. Matt - Original Message - From: Zole [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: mythtv-users@mythtv.org Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 7:39 AM Subject: [mythtv-users] No menu items in mythfrontend Having kind of a strange problem, couldn't find any reference to it in the list archives but maybe someone can help. Last night I upgraded from nvidia-graphics6629 to nvidia-graphics7174 on ATrpms, and on the next reboot, mythfrontend started with just the menu background image -- no menu options, no other graphics, and no way to get rid of the image (sudo pkill mythfrontend got rid of the process, but the image stayed behind). I switched to Window Maker last week, but didn't have any problems until I upgraded the nvidia drivers. After I had this problem, I upgraded a bunch of packages (including upgrading from MythTV 0.17 to 0.18) but nothing helped.

[mythtv-users] Upgrade to 0.18 / 7174 Problem
All at once, I decided to upgrade to 0.18 and do a dist-upgrade on my FC3 system. That upgraded many things (over 150 updates), including my nvidia drivers (from 6629 to 7174). Immediately after doing this, I had quite a few problems. Most of the problems were due to the new packaging layout at atrpms. One wasn't. Whenever I tried to go to the previously-recorded programs screen, the frontend would freeze, X would take up 99.7+% CPU time, and all would stay like that until killed. I got errors like: Apr 22 22:14:37 mythbox kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-7174 Tue Mar 22 06:44:39 PST 2005 Apr 22 22:14:37 mythbox kernel: NVRM: not using NVAGP, an AGPGART backend is loaded! Apr 22 22:14:37 mythbox kernel: NVRM: not using NVAGP, an AGPGART backend is loaded! which suggested an agp driver problem (though I didn't change kernels and wasn't getting these errors with the same xorg.conf) and Apr 23 00:42:22 mythbox kernel: irq 9: nobody cared (try booting with the irqpoll option.

Mythfrontend and backend where curiously silent about a problem that only seemed to crop up while accessing the recorded programs screen. Realizing that I could playback things using xine and mplayer, and that I could watch livetv, it seemed like there could be a problem with accessing the database to display information on the saved programs. But dropping the database and starting from scratch didn't help. So, all my google searches were for naught. Nothing helped in the least. Just for kicks, I started re-reading Jarod's guide, to see if there was something that I might have to reset after doing a dist-upgrade. While doing so, I noticed an interesting thing: Not sure exactly what has changed in the nvidia driver, but most folks no longer seem to be able to use the RenderAccel line without having problems. However, I'm not sure what added benefit it provides anymore, since contrary to my earlier belief, it isn't necessary for me to use XvMC... With 6629, I didn't have any problems with it on any of my motherboards with VIA chipset or nVidia's own nForce2 chipset, none of which play nice with RenderAccel enabled anymore, but it doesn't seem to make any difference, I can still play back even HDTV video just fine without it. And what do you know - commenting out that line in my xorg.conf solved the problem right away. For what ever reason, having RenderAccel on didn't affect my ability to play back video at all, unless I was trying to access that one screen. So, the short version: 7174 and RenderAccel don't seem to play nice on the Chaintech 7NIF2's built-in graphics card. Now that it's working, I'm off to have fun with 0.18!

I'm running 0.17 from ATRPMs on FC3. I know I'm just replying to my message but I figured I'd post the solution I figured out. Even though I used the website recommended on Jarod's site to set up my .asoundrc, it seems like mplayer did not like my default alsa device (even though both xine (alsa:default) and gmplayer (alsa and all settings set to default) had no problem). Passing -ao alsa:device=hw=0.2 to mplayer solved this problem. Thanks goes to Beirdo on #mythtv-users for telling me to ask some mplayer experts and Ikarus on #mplayer for telling me to find out what ao gmplayer is using and copy that to mplayer... Eventually, the man page for mplayer (HUGE, btw) finally yielded the device= line. If anybody has any idea why mplayer doesn't like my default alsa device, I'd be interested in figuring out (though I don't really care that much now that it is working properly).
