Tim.,

When I select "Input Connections", the system attempts to connect to  
the [ 0: 00:00:00 ] device which of course does not exist.

Also, when I set up the video sources, I give it a name and download the 
Datadirect listings with my l/p, and when I click finish, the video 
source is listed as '0', not what I called it.

Looking at the SQL commands, it is entering it into the database:
2006-03-08 10:59:47.186 MSqlQuery: INSERT INTO videosource (sourceid) 
VALUES (0);
2006-03-08 10:59:47.186 MSqlQuery: SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();
2006-03-08 10:59:47.187 MSqlQuery: SELECT * FROM videosource WHERE 
sourceid = 2;
2006-03-08 10:59:47.188 MSqlQuery: UPDATE videosource SET sourceid = 2, 
name = 'testsource' WHERE sourceid = 2;
2006-03-08 10:59:47.189 MSqlQuery: SELECT * FROM videosource WHERE 
sourceid = 2;
2006-03-08 10:59:47.190 MSqlQuery: UPDATE videosource SET sourceid = 2, 
xmltvgrabber = 'datadirect' WHERE sourceid = 2;
2006-03-08 10:59:47.191 MSqlQuery: SELECT * FROM videosource WHERE 
sourceid = 2;
2006-03-08 10:59:47.192 MSqlQuery: UPDATE videosource SET sourceid = 2, 
userid = 'mlowrie' WHERE sourceid = 2;
2006-03-08 10:59:47.192 MSqlQuery: SELECT * FROM videosource WHERE 
sourceid = 2;
2006-03-08 10:59:47.193 MSqlQuery: UPDATE videosource SET sourceid = 2, 
password = 'a1a07783' WHERE sourceid = 2;

But for whatever reason, testsource is never listed, its always listed 
as '0'.

Ok, Something is definitely wrong with my setup here. Even going through 
the General Setup, if I change the IP, go through the rest of the pages, 
and go back into General Setup, the IP's are listed as '0'.

I think my capture device is working fine. I think something is wrong 
with MythTV obtaining/parsing data from MySQL.
