[mythtv-users] Problem watching TV

[Adam Biskobing]

I've had this happen quite a few times with my myth system.  Usually
restarting the mythbackend, then the frontend fixes it.  It may be related
to the new myth ebuilds on gentoo, as this did not happen on the older
ebuilds (pre .13).  Hope this helps.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Problem watching TV 


Sorry to be a bother, but I have looked through the lists and I haven't 
found a definate resolution to my exact problem. The problem is that 
when I click Watch TV the screen goes blank and after about 10 or so 
seconds a blank dialog box pops up and then I have to kill the frontend 
to get out.
Here is my setup:

Gentoo 1.4
Athlon XP 2400
Hauppauge PVR-250
GeForce 4 440 MX for TV-out

I have verified that the backend is running and all other modules 
(mythweather, mythmusic, mythgallery) seem to work fine although mythweb 
fails when I connect questioning whether the backend is running (which 
it is). Here are the verbose logs.
