<div dir="ltr">Hey, if your still having issues i have a ceton usb installed and working with MythTV... Ron actually got me up and running. I would be glad to help. I didn't read all the way through the email chain, but i know the part I had problems with was I wasn't starting the infinitv service that gets installed with the driver. Are you starting that service? Let me know if you still need help or if you got it running, I am currently battling trying to get commercial cutting working myself.</div>

</div>In order to test RTP outside of myth, here's my suggestion. I just<br>
tested this with the PCIe version. I'm not certain that this will be<br>
the same for the USB version, but it should be.<br>
<br>
1) First download the python client from here:<br>
<a href="http://cetoncorp.com/infinitv_support/linux_drivers/" target="_blank">http://cetoncorp.com/infinitv_support/linux_drivers/</a><br>
<br>
2) cd to the directory you unzipped it to, then run it as follow:<br>
<br>
python client.py -i <local ip address> -t <tuner> -c <channel><br>
<br>
Tuner is tuner you want to use (0-3) and channel would be the cable<br>
channel you want to tune. The tricky part here is local ip address.<br>
Note that this is NOT the IP address of the ceton's web interface, but<br>
rather the ip address assigned to the ctn0 network interface (or for<br>
USB ceton, I think the interface is usb0 or something like that). If<br>
you do " ifconfig ctn0" (or " ifconfig usb0"), you can get the local<br>
IP. Also note, that if you have bridging enabled, ctn0/eth0 don't get<br>
an IP, so use the IP address for br0 instead<br>
<br>
Once that starts up, it should tell you something like MPEG data going<br>
to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000" target="_blank">127.0.0.1:8000</a> and OOB data going to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8001" target="_blank">127.0.0.1:8001</a>.<br>
<br>
3) While that is still running, open up another terminal. Run the<br>
following command:<br>
<br>
netcat -l -s 127.0.0.1 -p 8000 -u > rtp.mpg<br>
<br>
let that run for about 20 seconds and then Ctrl-C to end. You should<br>
now have an rtp.mpg file that is at least several MB in size.<br>
<br>
4) now play the video with mplayer:<br>
<br>
mplayer rtp.mpg<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If that works, then you can move on to trying to get myth configured.<br>
If it doesn't work, then either<br>
1) you have improperly installed the device (if you installed the USB<br>
drivers, and not the PCIe drivers, then I suspect this is unlikely)<br>
2) your cable card is not properly provisioned<br>
3) your cable company forgot tell you that you need a tuning adapter<br>
(but most cable companies don't need these)<br>
4) you have a defective device<br>
