Hi everyone - I'm new to this and have been working on this problem for
the better part of a 1.5 months and despite my searching, I can't seem
to find a resolution. I'm also a fair novice when it comes to Linux, so
be kind =p
Whenever I try to view TV/recordings inside MythTV (KnoppMyth) itself, I
get a blank screen that lasts for about ten seconds and then brings me
back to the 'home' menu.
When I exit out and go to xterm, I can view and record from there. Also,
when I launch 'mythtv' from xterm, I get the blank screen. It then
returns me to xterm with a variety of errors including:
mythtv: could not connect to socket
mythtv: No such file or directory
ioctl JSIOCGAXES: Bad File Descriptor
TV Error: StartRecorder() -- time out waiting for recorder to start
TV Error: StartRecorder() -- LiveTV not successfully started
TV Error: StartRecorder() -- Deleting TV Chain in destructor
I don't even know if that's helpful for diagnosis. I suspect that
something has gone wrong in my MT settings since playing/recording work
via xterm ... ... but I have gone through my settings dozens and dozens
of times and everything seems okay there too.
Thoughts?
All the best,
Dan
