Glenn: Thanks, I'll have to try the shutdown script. Now if I could only figure out a way for the frontend to shut itself down after being idle for a while...<br><br><br>Yan-Fa: Actually, turning ON opengl vsync seems to have mostly fixed the random speedup/slowdowns - it happens a lot less often, and when it does happen, it's not nearly as bad. Maybe it was something else I had changed, so I'll have to play around with it.

Hi Chris,<br><br>This sounds a little bit like the problem that I have (see posting<br>"Can't watch live TV (lengthy)" on 5th March). I have nothing observed<br>in the backend-log, but when I start the frontend with "-v all" from the
<br>command line, there are indeed some error messages.<br><br>I only have one tuner card, recording works, but no LiveTV after editing<br>the channels. The screen too goes black, and returns to the main menu.<br><br>I have no solution for that, but could you check whether you have these
<br>messages too? (check for "Error, timeout" or "failed to get pginfo").<br><br>Best regards,<br>Martin<br><br><br>Chris Weiland wrote:<br><br>... snip<br><br>> 3) For some reason, I'm able to record programs off of my firewire
<br>> connection, but I am not able to watch live TV. If I hit Live TV, myth<br>> will bring up my tv tuner card, then when I try to change inputs (to the<br>> firewire), the screen goes black for about 10 seconds then returns to
<br>> the main menu. I don't see anything strange in my backend log either.<br>> Why won't it let me watch live?<br><br>... snip<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list
