<p>I have just installed MythDora 10.21. I have a Hauppauge PVR-500 and
I am capturing from Analog cable here in Ireland. I had all my channels
working and I could go into "Watch TV" and the channels were there.
Then I setup xmltv_uk_rt and ran mythfilldatabase and it updated all
the channel information but when I went back into the front-end and
opened "Watch TV" it seemed like it was opening but then it doesn't
open. I looked at the permissions for the /storage/recordings directory
and I got this:</p>
<p>[mythtv@localhost ~]$ ls -lh /storage/recordings<br>
total 49M<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12M 2009-12-24 18:13 1000_20091224181252.mpg<br>

<p>Shouldn't mythtv have access to the .mpg recordings. How do I allow access to the mytv user?</p>
<p>Another permission problem I noticed:</p>
<p>When I try to open <a href="http://127.0.0.1/" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1/</a> I get this error:</p>
<p>ERROR<br>
data directory is not writable by apache.<br>
Please check permissions.</p>
<p>I went into
"mythbackend.log" and found a number of errors relating to the capture
card. Here's a sasmple of some of the errors:</p><div>
<p>TVRec(1) Error: Problem finding starting channel, setting to default of '3'.<br>
ChannelBase(1) Error:InitializeInputs();<br>
Could not get inputs for the capturecard.<br>
Perhaps you have forgotten to bind video<br>
sources to your card's inputs?<br>
ERROR: no valid capture cards are defined in the database.<br>
Perhaps you should read the installation instructions?</p>
<p>TVRec(2) Error: Problem finding starting channel, setting to default of '3'.<br>
ChannelBase(2) Error:InitializeInputs();<br>
Could not get inputs for the capturecard.<br>
Perhaps you have forgotten to bind video<br>
sources to your card's inputs?<br>
ERROR: no valid capture cards are defined in the database.<br>
Perhaps you should read the installation instructions?
</p>
<p>I went into "mythtv-setup" and into the "Capture Cards" menu and
/dev/video0 is now showing up as a "Hauppauge WinTV pvr-150 [ivtv]"
under probed info and /dev/video1 is showing up as "WinTV pvr-500
(unit#2) [ivtv]". Previously the pvr-500 showed up as pvr-500 (unit#1)
and pvr-500 (unit#2). </p>
<p>If I delete the capture cards and add them again, do I need to do another channel scan and setup xmltv all over again.</p>
