Ron - I've been trying to get up and running on Mythbuntu with your Ceton patch (following your directions), but I'm not having any luck. I finally got my system running where I can successfully play video via 'mplayer /dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_#', but I haven't gotten anything playing through MythTV yet. I did dump the output of the device straight to a .mpg file, and Myth was able to play that successfully, so I take that to mean that the device drivers are working correctly. Also, I'm pretty sure that it actually is tuning the card correctly, because I'm able to go to LiveTV, change channels, exit, then switch over to a command prompt and use mplayer to play the channel that I just selected from inside Myth.<div>
<br></div><div>Here's a (long) sample of my backend log file (with -v important,channel options), from when I selected LiveTV to when it first says it's not tuning. The last error message repeats every 5 seconds. Do you see anything in here that jumps out at you to explain why it can't verify the tuning? I've been reading through your code, but I haven't had time to really dig in and debug it myself yet. If you don't see anything obvious, I'll get more in depth with it this weekend. Oh, and if it makes a difference, I have Verizon Fios...maybe there's something different in their signal as opposed to a standard cable company like Comcast or WOW?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>Scott</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:Tinos;font-size:medium"><pre style="word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap">2011-08-07 12:13:52.000 TVRec(1): Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
