[mythtv-users] Mythtv card setup (v4l / pvrx50)

Wed Aug 15 07:35:55 UTC 2007

Hello again,

I got it kinda figured out, so this is for the archive.

Somewhere i read that on setup you cannot make a mythtv user account as
primary account.
Mythtv would take care of this itself, and there was no reason given.

Yesterday evening i did a reinstall in exactly the same way as i did
before. Only this time on install i didn't created the mythtv user as
primary user, but instead i picked my own username.

After running mythtv-setup i was able to pick the right tv card, and
mythtv is now running smoothly on my debian lenny box.

Since i had no time to get to the source of this problem, i dont know
what is causing this, but i guess its some kind of permissions problem.

Cheers,
Mark
