I guess I am confused. I just started MythTv, and I am trying to get LiveTv. I have not specified any file to 'play'. I reviewed the log, and the following lines jumped out at me<br><pre>2006-06-07 23:58:51.003 RingBuf(/var/lib/mythtv//1009_20060607235850.nuv): OpenFile(/var/lib/mythtv//1009_20060607235850.nuv, 12)
<br>2006-06-07 23:58:51.004 RingBuf(/var/lib/mythtv//1009_20060607235850.nuv): Invalid file (fd 15) when opening '/var/lib/mythtv//1009_20060607235850.nuv'. 12 retries remaining.<br><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<br>But I have not the foggiest idea what to do abut it....<br><br>At the top of the log are the lines<br></span>X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166<br> Major opcode: 144<br> Minor opcode: 3<br>
Resource id: 0x0<br>Failed to open device<br>X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 166<br> Major opcode: 144<br> Minor opcode: 3<br> Resource id: 0x0<br>Failed to open device<br><br>Which look awefully suspicious as a problem, but I am not sure what to check...
<br>Like I said, I can get video in the XawTv program, so I think I got the tuner card set <br>up alright (bttv driver).<br></pre><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/9/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Steven Adeff</b> <
