I've recently upgraded my primary and slave Myth backend/frontend boxes
to 0.19. I am seeing an issue which I did not previously see in
0.18.1. The short version of the issue seems to be that I can't watch
'Live TV' on my primary backend using the tuner that is in my slave
backend box.<br>
<br>
Here is my test case:<br>
1) Setup a recording so that the [single] tuner on the primary backend is in use.<br>
2) Using the frontend on the primary backend server, select 'Watch TV'<br>
<br>
The screen will 'flash' and return the the menuing screen. If the
tuner that resides on the primary server is NOT in use, the 'Watch TV'
works fine.<br>
<br>
'mythfrontend' will output the following:<br>
2006-02-20 15:31:10.493 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback<br>
2006-02-20 15:31:10.498 adding: myth1 as a client (events: 0)<br>
2006-02-20 15:31:10.522 Should be local only query: SpawnLiveTV<br>
<br>
'mythbackend' on the primary server will output:<br>
2006-02-20 15:31:50.008 TV: Attempting to change from None to WatchingLiveTV<br>
2006-02-20 15:31:50.016 Using protocol version 26<br>

2006-02-20 15:31:50.060 TV: Deleting TV Chain in destructor<br>
<br>
nothing is output on the slave backend.<br>
<br>
If I attempt to 'Watch TV' using the Frontend running on the slave machine, it works just fine.<br>
<br>
The Primary Backend is running FC4 with version 0.19 of mythtv-suite
that was attained from RPMs. The Slave Backend is running Gentoo
with version 0.19 of mythtv that was attained/built via portage.
Both machines are using PVR-350s as tuners.<br>
<br>
I've checked the bug database and don't see any bugs, so I'm hoping I have something misconfigured. Thanks, doug.<br>
