[mythtv-users] Everything except Watch TV works

[Thorsten Wilms]

Hi!

I recently upgraded from a Mythbuntu 12.04 to a 14.04 installation. 
Hauppauge HVR-1300 used exclusively for analog cable. On the old system, 
things worked with a V4L analog device at /dev/video0 and a IVTV/MPEG2 
encoder at /dev/video1. The IVTV wasn't there after database import, I 
guess because it's named differently now. Fixed that.

I can tune via
ivtv-tune -d /dev/video1 -t europe-west -c SE8
and
mplayer /dev/video1
delivers video and audio without any issue.

This is without having the ivtv kernel module loaded, so I guess another 
module is at work.

However, frontend Watch TV only delivers noise. If I apply the same 
ivtv-tune command while Watch TV is running, video will appear, but not 
fill the screen, framed in the same noise, with broken audio.

There's nothing enlightening in the frontend and backend logs. What 
could it be, throwing Watch TV off?
