I posted this question to the KnoppMyth forums but I guess they did not like
it since they say it deals with MythTV not their KnoppMyth. But I am having
a problem getting my machine to use dvd's. When I insert a dvd it does
nothing, so I go into Optical Disks and select DVD Player and it does
nothing, I select Rip DVD it gives me an error about being able to connect
to the Myth Transcoding Daemon so I go to a terminal and run "mtd -d" to
start the daemon. When I go back into Rip DVD it will run for 10-30 minutes
then give the error saying that "the connection to the Myth Transcoding
Daemon was lost, this is not a good thing", when I do a ps -ef and grep for
mtd nothing is there it would appear it shut itself down. So I start it
back up and it will run as long as I do not try to rip a dvd, but I still
cannot get a dvd to play. I tried using Xine instead of Mplayer, all this
did was bring up the Xine splash screen and locked the display until I
killed Xine from a terminal.
On a side note I can watch TV, timeshift and record and playback recordings
with no problems so I know that part of it is working.
