Subject: [mythtv] Problem changing channels ..
Hi all,
I just had a hard drive die on me yesterday (ugh, knew I should have
backed up all that stuff, 8 years of various things all gone !!) so I'm
rebuilding my system from scratch, sigh.
Anyway, I figured I might as well get the CVS of myth installed instead
of 0.7 (which I had running previously), after three compiles of QT
(first time I forgot to compile with threads, second I forgot to compile
with mysql, third time's a charm) I finally have it running under my
normal user (I had 0.7 run under a "mythtv" user which started it's own
X server on a virtual console and will do the same for this when
everything works again), looks very nice too. I have one teensy weensy
problem though, it won't change channels, process is as follows..
>killall -9 mythbackend
>mythbackend &
>mythfrontend
hit TV button
hit "Watch TV" button
live tv comes on screen, no problem, I can pause, rewind etc and the OSD
works correctly for those, if I hit "i" though I just get the OSD
background - no program information
hit channel up, empty OSD comes up (as above) but channel doesn't change
(sounds like it tries, you know, pauses a 1/2 second), same thing for
channel down
hit "m" to get guide, it comes up no problem, everything looks fine,
program listings are correct, I move down to a program on a different
channel and hit "m" again to "go to" that channel but it doesn't work,
guide goes away but channel doesn't change
Can anybody give me a pointer in the right direction, that'd be great,
it's just been one of those weeks.
Here is the settings table if it's helpful...
