Re: [mythtv-users] TV Freezes
Sam, I found the solution to my problem.. it might also be yours. The ivtv module which drives the hauppauge (and other) cards was loading AFTER the mythbackend. The module must load BEFORE /etc/init.d/mythbackend is called. - Michael > From: Michael Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: Discussion about mythtv > Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 16:09:36 -0700 > To: Discussion about mythtv > Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] TV Freezes > > Well.. > > I haven't found a permanent solution to this.. but what I've found is if you > go into a terminal (as su) and type: > > /etc/init.d/mythbackend restart > > Mine works.. > > I have yet to figure out WHY I have to do this.. but this at least works in > the meantime (for me). > > >> From: "Sam G.

Re: [mythtv-users] TV Freezes
I reckon that it must have something to do with the 0.18.1+ code, because on 0.18 everything ran smoothly. Since I compiled the 0.18.1 release (from the website) and used it, the playback of recordings freezes after a few seconds. Everytime I have to stop it and press play once again; only then it plays uninterrupted. What it is that causes the problem I don't know, but it is somewhat annoying. -- Jeroen Nick schreef: On 6/25/05, Sam G.

Re: [mythtv-users] TV Freezes
Well.. I haven't found a permanent solution to this.. but what I've found is if you go into a terminal (as su) and type: /etc/init.d/mythbackend restart Mine works.. I have yet to figure out WHY I have to do this.. but this at least works in the meantime (for me). > From: "Sam G.

Re: [mythtv-users] TV Freezes UPDATE
I was having the same problem, but I did get it fixed, sort of. It has something to do with the modprobe of ivtv. If I let mythbackend start automatically, I get the freeze. However, when I run /sbin/modprobe ivtv and then start mythbackend by hand, it doesn't freeze. I haven't had the time to look into why it doesn't probe properly. I also have problems with lirc not starting properly on boot. If I modprobe lirc by hand all is well. My guess is they aren't being probed at the right time during boot. As far as the blue border you can run this command: xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 66046 That changes the blue to black effectively removing the border. You will have to apt-get install xvattr to get this to work. The change isn't permenant, so you will have to run it again every time you login. If you look on Google you can find a startup shell script to automatically change it on boot. Matt Gorecki http://www.iliketrafficlight.com Sam G.

Can you record a show right now? When I had this problem I could play previously recorded shows but I could not actually record new ones.
