[mythtv-users] error, can not watch livetv

[Toan Pham]

Hi, i am trying to use setup mythtv on Lenny Debian with HVR-1600 pci card.
Everything is setup correctly, when i start mythtvfront end, and select
watch live tv,
mythtv seems to create a cache file at /tmp/<number blablb>.mpeg, while it
is still loading,
Unfortunately it displayed please wait forever, and the log is below.  I
look at the temp video
file and it seems to be about 10 seconds long when i view with vlc.

I think the problem is that mythtv tries to use directfb which i do not have
the kernel driver for it.

I even try to recompile mythtv with the following option, --disable-directfb
but mythtv still tries to
view livetv with directfb instead of xv or x11 video display driver.

I've been spending the last 8 hours doing this, please help.

thanks,

toan
