livetv is not working from my frontend. i added a hauppauge hdpvr and that is when the problem started. so i'm guessing its trying to use that for livetv which is what i want. the hdpvr is on /dev/video0. when i open mythfrontend from the command prompt i get this in the logs:<br>

the codec for the files at this time is HD video with AAC audio. i have a optical audio cable on the way, so i think that when i start getting audio from that input, i should be getting HD video with ac3 audio. is it the aac audio codec that its complaining about?<br>
thank you<br>

</blockquote><div><br>i did what was suggested in that thread, and i tried livetv when running mythfrontend from the same box running the backend, and livetv worked. its just not working on the frontend system. <br></div>
