 Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2007 3:19 am Post subject: Gentoo MythTV |
 |
|
I decided last week to finally build the MythTV setup I have been talking about for months now. I was able to sucessfully get the system up and running with all of the cool toys that I had purcahsed ( mainly tv tuner cards) however I get an error when I am exiting the mythtv-setup program after configuring my new Hauppauge 250 card.
| Code: |
Card 0 (type) is set to start on chanel 2, which does not exist.
|
I have checked several times and I configured it to start on chanel 3 (which is pbs... maybe I should just skip to 4). I am at a loss. If i try to go back into the frontend right now it will say...
| Code: |
MythTV is already using all available inputs for the channel you selected. If you want to watch an in-progress recording, select one from the playback menu. If you want to watch live TV, cancel one of the in progress recordings from the delete menu.
|
I am currently at a loss. If anyone might be able to lead me it the right direction that would be wonderful |

The best thing to try is to delete all capture cards. ( not delete all on xxx)
Redo the capture cards and then connect them to the "input sources" again. |

I have not had sucess in that yet. I have removed it from MythTV multiple times. I even went as far as to remove all the modules from the system and re-compile the kernel modules. I knot that was overkill but I ran out of ideas and I had time.
I do know that the card is working because I can do
| Code: |
cat /dev/video0 > test.mpeg
|
and I end up with a stream from some odd chanel that it is currently set to.
I am also having issues with lirc and the Hauppauge remote... I will toy with that in the morning and probably have to get a little help on that front too.
Thanks,
G |

It almost sounds like the card's never actually getting configured. Does running this select statement in the mythconverg database give you anything?
| Code: | $ mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg
Enter password:
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 15981
Server version: 5.0.26 Gentoo Linux mysql-5.0.26-r2
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql> SELECT * FROM `capturecard` LIMIT 0, 30 ; |
There's a lot of columns, but you should be able to tell if the card's showing up in the database. Card number '0' in your error message seems strange- I've always had the cardid's starting at 1, and I believe the default starting channel is 2. Another remote possibility is accidentally having multiple sets of database settings. |
