This past weekend I setup my MythTV box. Using Jarod's guide, which was
great! I also used his guide to set up my new Radioshack remote... which
works great too.
I also have the box changing channels on my directv sony dss system.
One of the main problems I had was getting sound to work when using
mplayer for watching a dvd or a ripped video. After much hair pulling
troubleshooting I found that there was a /home/mythtv/.mplayer/config that
was causing all my problems. That file was telling mplayer to use the
spdif output... which I didn't have!!! Anyway I am felling the joy on dvd
playback now.
Everything seems to be working great now except for when I record anything
off of the directv hbo channels. It is the weirdest thing. I can record
shows back to back for hours with no problem but once I start recording
channel 501, 504 or any of those channels, myth gives me a black screen
with jittery sound. Same thing happens if I try to watch one of the hbo
channels live.
Then If I go back to another channel it works fine. I have searched and
searched the archives and can't find anything for a problem like this.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Here is my system if it would help:
Fedora 1
A7N8X-X Mobo
Amd Athlon XP 2500+ Barton
512MB PC3200 ram
Chaintech nVidia FX5200 - using svideo out for watching tv (great picture:)
PVR-350
Maxtor 160GB
