Re: [mythtv-users] Problems running Myth - segfault starting liveTV
I ended up blowing away that system and switching to the FC4 build, as FC4 just came out as I was having that problem).I did not have any issues with FC4, AND there were options that were not available to me when I used Gentoo. I would assume that the build of MythTV installed by gentoo is not the same as the one installed by apt / yum via Jerod's guide. At least, it was not as of Aug 05.

[mythtv-users] Problems running Myth - segfault starting liveTV
I've been working on a MythTV box for a few months now, and it's been one trouble after another. Word of caution: Pundit-R's don't seem to like SATA HDD and PATA DVD drives together. I've put in a Hauppauge PVR-250 and a 160GB PATA drive along with the DVD-RW drive. The system is running Gentoo 2005.1 So far, so good, I can watch DVDs through mplayer I installed the Hauppauge card, and had problems getting it to tune. Seems that the tuner module does not load with the correct tuner parameter. On boot I have to manually unload that module with an rmmod, and reload it with a modprobe tuner type=39. Then the card will tune to NSTC cable (using mplayer ptune-ui to test) Started up Myth for the first time. Backend runs OK, frontend starts OK. Try to choose Live TV, and the screen goes black for about 5 sec, then returns to X (using evilWM) with a segmentation fault error. No other information is provided. I've rebuilt Myth from source, and build using the --debug option, but I can't seem to get mythfrontend to start from a virtual console and display on the local X. it tells me no X server is available (yes, X is running, and the DISPLAY variable is set). Running mythfrontend in gdb locally ends up locking the display when it segfaults. Ctl-C, etc does not get me back to the console to view the GDB output (only solution is killing the X server). So, I turned on verbose logging. Just before it segfaults, the logfile shows myth looking for /dev/nvidia0 Which doesn't exist on my pundit's ATI board. Following this recent thread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/144660 has not proved helpful as the instructions to disable XvMC (settings - next - next, etc). don't jive with myth 0.18.1 The .configure output when building myth shows no XvMC and no OpenGL support, so, wtf? Bottom line: Why is myth looking for /dev/nvidia0 when it shouldn't be?, how do I stop that?, and why will there be no broadcast HDTV in my area until fall 2006? Thanks for anyone's help. I can't imagine that pundit-R + pvr250 + gentoo is a strange combination, so odds are SOMEONE has fought with this before. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
RE: [mythtv-users] Problems running Myth - segfault starting liveTV
Put -nvidia in your USE Flags in /etc/make.conf and emerge mythtv again. This will remove the NVidia support and presumably allow you to start.

Re: [mythtv-users] Problems running Myth - segfault starting liveTV
This won't help with your missing file problem. But you could have linux reload the tuner on bootup. In redhat you can edit rc.local and do the rmmod and modprobe the tuner with whatever you need. I had to do this for my pvr350 card upon bootup. Except I just modprobed the ivtv module. I also had to restart mythbackend for some reason. I don't know why. Hopefully, this helps you solve one problem. Thomas Blastzone wrote: No joy.

Re: [mythtv-users] Problems running Myth - segfault starting liveTV
I'm not real worried about the modprobing.. that's easily fixed with a script. I re-emerged with the -opengl and -nvidia flags in the USE line, but still no joy.

Re: [mythtv-users] Problems running Myth - segfault starting liveTV
As I continue playing with the system, it appears that it records OK, but will segfault in the same way when playing a prerecorded show. I can do a cat from /dev/video0 to a temp file, load that into the video library and watch it. I can import an mpg from the internet and watch it through the video library I told myth to record directly into the video library and can watch it through there. So, I know the card is good. What is different between watching 'live tv' / 'prerecorded tv' and the mpgs?

What is different between watching 'live tv' / 'prerecorded tv' and the mpgs? Watching Live TV/Recordings uses Myth's internal player. Watching videos through MythVideo uses an external player (by default MPlayer, but you can change it to use xine or whatever). Note that you can specify the player Internal to use Myth's internal player for MythVideo. So, basically, it means your Myth is configured wrong, but your external video player (probably MPlayer) is configured right.
