<div>Greetings</div><div><br></div><div>I am running MythTV 0.24 under mythbuntu 10.10. I have a PVR-150 to record SD programs off digital cable; works great. I've been using MythTV since 1996, so not a total noob.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have recently installed an HDHomerun to get the local digital OTA channels. I can run hdhomerun_config_gui.app on my Mac. It sees the HDHR and can tune and display (using VLC) live streams of the local digital OTA channels. Looks good. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I set up the MythTV backend machine to recognize the HDHR, and I have given it its own video source, which is the local OTA stations for my area from <a href="http://schedulesdirect.org">schedulesdirect.org</a>. </div>
<div><br></div><div>As a test, yesterday afternoon I set it to record the CBS Evening News. This worked fine. I was able to play it back using a WD TV Live, which is what I use for a frontend. Works fine. The HD video looked great with no breakups or weirdness.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So I set it to record a HD NOVA episode on PBS. When I tried to play it on the WD TV Live, it would display one frame and then stop. The file is a (I guess) reasonable size - about 4.5 GB. I copied the file over to the Mac, opened it in VLC, and same thing: one frame. I can move the scroll indicator in VLC. The same frame is shown. If I hit "Play", the same frame is shown, and there's no progress.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have made several other HD and SD recordings using the HDHR, and they all now fail in the same slightly different way:</div><div><br></div><div>I attempt to view them with the WD TV live. It looks like it's going to play the recording and then fails with an error: "Unable to play the selected file. Please see the user manual for a list of supported file formats." </div>
<div><br></div><div>Huh? This worked fine yesterday. (Only once, but it did work.)</div><div><br></div><div>And then the same thing in VLC: One frame. File size is correct, it just won't play in VLC.</div><div><br></div>
<div>This is weird, because it worked once when I first tested it out, and now it doesn't work at all. </div><div><br></div><div>Very strange. </div><div><br></div><div>Ideas?</div><div><br></div><div>-Bo Parker</div>
