The reason you have sound twice is because you need to mute the line in. Try kmix. Also make sure to turn on "recording" for the line in as well.

[mythtv-users] mythtv-setup for slaves...
I've noticed a number of questions on the list and a few instances of confusion on my part all of which were due to the fact that mythtv-setup on slaves shows some settings that pertain to the master backend. It would seem that these should be hidden when mythtv-setup is run on a slave. It would end a lot of confusion. There are some settings that are not at all obvious that they refer to the master, and others that are clearly labled as pertaining to the master. I think you could ssh to the master and run mythtv-setup there if you were running it headless, so I don't see the need to make master settings on a slave, especially since some of these (may) require a mythbackend restart. -- --JSA- ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] mythtv setup without backend and mysql
LiveTV (unless you modify the menus to call an external program for watching LiveTV) is a recording - a recording that plays back while it's recording. Therefore, you require MySQL, because the backend (which is needed for recording) contains the capture card settings. Additionally, LiveTV won't work without the database, because the database contains your channel list, so that MythTV knows what channels it can tune to. Simply put, if you plan on doing any kind of recording at all (including LiveTV), you require the backend. If you require the backend, then you require MySQL. -- Joe --- Shiju Mathew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > Thanks. So I have to setup the backend to play live > TV.

Or you can purge a package so all files (including config files) are removed. If you reinstall a package and it finds some changed config file, it will ask you what to to with it (overwrite it or not). > This stuff is still beta (at best) in my mind, and I am being kind!

Linux? Normally, one. One of the problems is that apt-get is not the tool you should use to install or delete packages. It's better to use aptitude or dselect (my favorite, but you need to know how it works) because they will do a better job. They still use apt to do the magic stuff. They will also delete the downloaded packages. Stef ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I did exactly that. and all the code, configuration files, remained. I was even able to run the front and backend even though apt-get remove ran successfully. obviously, apt-get in not a 100 % app. Or it's functionaly does not fully match the documentation. I also would have thought that apt-get should even delete the downloaded modules but when I did a apt-get install mysttv-suite there was nothing for it to download, system contained latest modules.

A uninstall script would be useful at this point. make uninstall works, assuming you compiled it yourself. Dropping the database tables is trivial. Removing the rpms is even easier.

I think the issue is how to uninstall all the myth code and reinstall thus making the machine myth free I never did find any discussion on where all the code is put during the install phase. A uninstall script would be useful at this point. - Original Message - From: "Monkey Pet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion about mythtv" Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 2:10 PM Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Mythtv setup total failure - how to start over?

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythtv setup total failure - how to start over?
Wilson's guide doesn't cover uninstalling at all. has many areas where user's have to guess what step need to be taken or skipped. but it's better that nothing Nor did it cover enough configuration aspects, however dropping the database and recreating got be back to a point where I could reconfigure. also apt-get uninstall mythtv-suite doesn't uninstall/delete the packages or folders / code/ files etc either. eventually I got to a situation where I have to reformat and reinstall the os.

[mythtv-users] mythtv setup and pvr-500
Ok I clearly am having wild luck. I'm running a Pvr-500 in a pundit-r. I can get signal on both tuners and switch between two channels. But how come onceI hit R on one tuner to record a show i see curently running I cannot then simply hit C (change tuners). And watch a different show? I figured since the coax going into the card feeds both tuners. I should be able to watch both at the same time. Or do I need to send one signal in via coax and another in via svideo, composite ? Also why can't I get P-I-P either ? Thanks, Mark ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Segmentation fault. I'm not quite sure what socket it cant connect to, or what file it cannot find, but it was all working before the kernel upgrade, and my kernel configuration was the same under both versions. I don't believe its anything to do with lirc, since that's disabled in the compile i am running.
