[mythtv-users] no playback

[Nick Bradaschia]

JAC-
Thanks for the reply.
I do have some messages coming at me from the frontend.
When I first start mythfrontend, I get the following:

mythtv: could not connect to socket
mythtv: No such file or directory
lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages

and when I switch to live tv, I get:

Watching Live TV
2004-08-02 19:00:58 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
X Error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) 11
  Major opcode:  141
  Minor opcode:  19
  Resource id:  0x2a0000

I'm not sure what they mean.  I've looked for a mythtv.conf but was
unable to figure out where the init info is stored.  Not sure what the
2nd error mean either... "insufficient resources"??

Thanks,

Nick
