[mythtv] Re: Seg Fault while setting a recording.

[Colm Bennett]

Oh dear, I am replying to myself :( 

And given that I am the first to reply and almost all the archive views
were my own (there is a strange compunction to open your own mail on the
archives, as though a reply might appear underneath it that hasn't
registerd yet on the main screen ;), I may well be talking to myself:) 

But still. I have spent 4 weeks setting things up to the point were I
felt confident enough in my setup to risk a mail to the list. I choose
dev cos thats what the doco tells me to do when there is a seg fault.
And then for 3 days not only is there no response but I am the only
person to even look at it! Oh dear :( 

If there is anyone reading this who could spare a minute to help me I
would so appreciate it. Could I word the problem better? Does it belong
on mythtv-user? Is it so common/silly as to be not worth a reply? Should
I have mentioned the PVR-250 in the subject? ;-)) Just kidding :)

As I say below, I have xawtv working and I can hear recorded sound on
aplay /dev/dsp. Are there any other basic tests I should do? Is there
any other info I could supply?

Again, any help would be really appreciated.

Cheers,
Colm
