[mythtv-users] unable to access LiveTv / videos

Mon Sep 11 07:45:55 UTC 2006

I have a really weird problem.

I am unable to play LiveTV and videos, although just before the problem occured everything worked fine. Mythfrontend gives following messages:

[mythtv at fridge ~]$

As mentioned, LiveTV was working perfectly just before the problem occured, I even managed to set up EPG for Poland, what was quite difficult and time consuming. 

Same applies to videos: they displayed in a file browser and I could play them. Now mythtv says that /video/movies directory (where videos are stored) is empty - while it is not.

The file that mythtv complains about exists. I can without any problems play it using mplayer, or xine. ls of /video/recordings is:

1006_20060911011145.mpg
1006_20060911024006.mpg

nfslockfile.lock

File permissions seem also fine. mplayer /dev/video0 shows PVR-150's output correctly.

Before the problem occured I reprogrammed videos to be played with the internal player. I also had to CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE X session because MythTV froze on "manage recordings" screen.

All help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrzej
