Did you load the msp3400 module?

Subject: [mythtv-users] PVR 250 -- strange output 

Well, after much blood, sweat, and tears I'm able to get live video from

my WinTV PVR 250 through /dev/video0.  The only way I can watc it right 
now is using "mplayer /dev/video0".. and that's without sound (haven't 
figured that out yet)

I've successfully compiled the latest CVS of mythtv and set it up 
according to the docs. When I get to using mythfrontend it freezes when 
I click on "Watch TV".

Here's output from mythbackend:
-----------------------------------
Starting up as the master server.
Probed: /dev/video0 - Composite 0
Probed: /dev/video0 - Composite 1
Probed: /dev/video0 - Composite 2
Probed: /dev/video0 - Composite 3
Probed: /dev/video0 - Tuner 0
Probed: /dev/video0 - Composite 4
Probed: /dev/video0 - S-Video 0
Probed: /dev/video0 - S-Video 1
Probed: /dev/video0 - S-Video 2
Probed: /dev/video0 - S-Video 3
VIDIOCGPICT: Invalid argument
VIDIOCGPICT: Invalid argument
VIDIOCGPICT: Invalid argument

..and after I start mythfrontend:

2003-04-29 23:33:33 adding: <hostname> as a player 1
2003-04-29 23:33:38 adding: <hostname> as a player 0
2003-04-29 23:33:38 adding: <hostname> as a player 0
2003-04-29 23:33:38adding: <hostname> as a remote ringbuffer
Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
strange error flushing buffer ...
----------------------------------------------------------------

and that's it. I can't do anything in mythfrontend after this so I have 
to kill it. Do the errors shown above have anything to do with this? 
Could it have something to do with the fact that I haven't gotten sound 
working yet? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben Davis
