[mythtv-users] Lirc and sound not working after upgrade
Approximately every week I do an apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. After the last of these mythtv could no longer access the backend server. I found out that the upgrade had changed my directories from /var/lib/mythtv to /mnt/store, and that I had to alter permissions in /var/lib/mythtv. After changing back I could restart mythbackend, and access my stored recordings. But no sound, and remote not working either :-( In the mythfrontend log I have these errors: mythtv: could not connect to socket mythtv: Connection refused lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages. So I guess that this might be caused by the ugrade having changed some other permissions, but I simply do not know where to look and what for. Basically I do not understand for what reasons an upgrade can alter permissions on already existing files and folders. But I guess there is some kind of good explanation. Thanks for any help.

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-350 and playing DVD's
I did a dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16 bs=64k count=50
Also a ctrl+c, but this didn't seem neccesary as the comand ended itself
after a few seconds with this output:
1+49 records in
1+49 records out
and a very short audio output through my TV's speakers.
But still no xv ("Your x server doesn't supportYV12 overlays" (repeated
twice), "Your x server doesn't have any XVideo support" :(
My recording profiles for Default, Live, High and low quality are all
set to 720 x 480.
How can I make sure that I have the correct ivtvdev driver installed?
Thanks

Something like :
dd /dev/video0 > /dev/video16 bs=64k
And then CTRL-C
Now check if you have XV

John, as suggested by Patrick, I downloaded your patch and
copyed it into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ (saved a
backup of the old file first) Does not make any difference
thoug, and I still get these error messages from xine-check:
Your X server doesn't support YV12 overlays Your X server
doesn't have any XVideo support
Is there a better way to get this driver (via yum or apt)?

Yes you need 0.3.5 for the Xv driver to work.
It works fine in PAL. I am in PAL land so it tends to work
there first
and then I have to fix it up for NTSC :)

Thanks Patrick. I can see from the thread that these guys
seems to be
using ivtv-0.3.5e + Johns patch. From my log I can see that my
ivtv-version is 0.2.0 (rc3j) which I assume is the latest stable
version. So does this mean that I have to moove into
"bleeding" to get
ivtv-0.3.5e and to - maybe - make x work properly?
As a newbie I don't even know how to apply Johns patch, and
also not
whether it would work for me on a PAL system.
Strange to me that PVR-350 is such a commonly used tuner if it has
such large deficiencies with x.

Found out that I had to install xine-devel also after I did a
xine-check. xine still reports "The amount of dropped

xine-check reports
"Your x server doesn't support YV12 overlays"
The DVD plays extremely slow and unstable, and it almost locks my

I am using John Harvey's patch from

the PVR350
plays DVDs and videos using xine quite well now.

So till now I have used a mix of apt and yum. Probably this could explain my problems. I can see that Jarod Wilson is now recomending to use yum.

I have searched for this but still I can only find a file with actual packages installed - not changes to packages. If yes, will it be safe to downgrade to the earlier package?

[mythtv-users] Blurry pictures after ivtv upgrade
I ran an apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade this morning (included an upgrade of ivtv). After this all channels are extremely blurry with frames slowly rolling from right to left. I can see that the channels displayed are the correct ones, but the picture is very distorted. I have not yet been able to succeed using my PVR-350's output in Mythfrontend, so I have not flagged this option. But yesterday pictures and sound was just fine. This are the current installed versions from /var/log/rpmpkgs: ivtv-0.2.0-65_rc3g.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm ivtvdev-0.8-1.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm ivtv-firmware-1.8a-4.at.i386.rpm ivtv-firmware-dec-2.02.023-4.at.i386.rpm ivtv-firmware-enc-2.04.024-4.at.i386.rpm ivtv-kmdl-2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at-0.2.0-65_rc3g.rhfc3.at.i686.rpm What can I do to go back?

Plus every single link that google displays when I search on that message is related to mythtv. Basically, don't worry about the Realtime priority message. It is only there to tell you what you would need to do if you wanted to run realtime priority. That message isn't the cause of your problem. What is the "phenomenon"? Perhaps if you told us what was wrong someone could help. -- David Thanks, and sorry for being imprecise. I think I have found the error this morning, as unchecking "Use the PVR350's TV-out" solved the problem. A little strange as I did complete Jarods manual completely and verified that I could run X on the PVR-350 output. Something must have messed this up afterwards. Anyway, thanks for your help and concern! Mogens ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Finally got MythTV working, and everything seems to work perfect except Live-TV. Below is shown the log from a recent mythfrontend session. The only thing that seems strange and might explain the phenomenon is the text "Realtime priority would require SUID as root". However I have not been able to find any posts on this subject.

SV: [mythtv-users] Testing TV-Out connection [SOLVED]
Thanks Carsten. I have now tried all combinations of ivtvctl -p 0 to 9, each followed by "# /sbin/rmmod saa7127" and "# /sbin/modprobe saa7127 test_image=1". No signal whatsoever. To be sure: I expect the signal to be displayed on the TV's EXT1 CVBS or EXT Y/C?? I have of course configured the S-Video port in the setup menu on my Philips TV. Any ideas on where to look? Cheers Mogens Success!! I first used S-video > S-video, but when changing to Scart the test picture appeared. Funny that S-video didn't work, but never mind, I'm happy again :-)) Mogens ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Yes, you should be able to see 8 colored stripes on your TV, if you connect e.g. the many pin roundish connector on the PVR-350 with the SCART input of your TV (other connections are also possible, e.g. using SVHS). Try setting the output with ivtvctl (option -p if I recall correctly) and then it should work.

[mythtv-users] Testing TV-Out connection
Just for my understanding, is the test Jarod suggests: # /sbin/rmmod saa7127 # /sbin/modprobe saa7127 test_image=1 intended to use the S-Video TV-Out from the PVR350, or should the TV be connected to the GFX-card?? I do not get a signal on my TV when connecting PVR350 > TV (and I do not have a TV-Out on my onboard GFX-card). Before buying a new TV I would like to be sure ;-) Mogens ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Channel setup Denmark
Setting up EPG and channels using tv2.dk worked like a charm. But all frequency id's are blank "", and when trying to record or watch live TV I just see flickering snow on a white screen. I have tried various methods to update channel frequencies: - Used the channel No, eg. K40 - Used the frequency ID given by TDC-kabel, eg. 623.25 - Used the frequency multiplied by 16, eg. 9971 Nothing works :-(( Anyone who could tell how to setup channels?

[mythtv-users] Modprobe.conf not executing??
I have the problem that after a boot, the video device /dev/video0 does not
exist. I then restart ivtv manually: "# /sbin/modprobe ivtv", and then the
video device is installed and can be seen with "# ll /dev/video?"
Shouldn't ivtv start automatically based on my settings in modprobe.conf
(see below in email)?
Furthermore, at this moment I can only see a black screen with snow when
recording and seeing Live-TV. This could - I guess - also be explained by
the missing execution of modprobe.conf ?
Finally, I have made some test recordings without ivtv being started. These
recordings appear as titles in the recordings list, but cannot be deleted.
How can I delete these? Mythfrontend seem to be confused and writes a lot of
error lines in the terminal window when trying to locate non-existing files
(there is nothing in /video/recordings).
Thanks
