Hey Guys,
Quick specs
mandrake 10.0 box.
Started life as mythtv 0.13 back in the day was running mythtv 0.16 for a
long time (till just 3 days ago). Upgraded to mythtv0.20 which required I
manually compile qt3.3.7 which required msyql 5.0.27, latest php and apache
and a few dependancies along the way. Myth 0.20 finally compiled and
installed after much frustration.
I rebooted and everything looks fine except I can no longer record anything.
I have PVR cards. One 250 and one 350.
If I "cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg" it works just fine and I can even open up
a window and "mplayer test.mpg" and watch it while it records. Same for
/dev/video1. Both capture video just fine.
Myth however does not like my cards any more. Backend says this

Could it be the latest version of mythtv does not like my old version of
IVTV? I think it's version 0.19. Like I said this box has been up and
running since mythtv 0.13.
It does not appear to be permissions as I did the cat /dev/videoX tests as
my myth user, not root.
Thanks for any pointers
Malcolm
