<div dir="ltr"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">The definite good news here is that it appears the problem is not due to a<br>
difference in the devices behavior. Based on the info you've provided, It<br>appears (at least so far) to be compatible with the 4 tuner models<br>protocols.<br>Beyond that, I'm a little uncertain. The first thing I notice when looking<br>
at your logs, is the following in the HTTP log:<br>POST /channel_request.cgi HTTP/1.1<br>content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded<br>content-length: 22<br>instance_id=0&channel=<br>Note that the channel parameter is blank in your last line. Then I look in<br>
the backend logs and see:<br>CetonSH(192.168.1.8-RTP.0): PerformTuneVChannel()<br>I double checked the code, and PerformTuneVChannel should be getting passed<br>a channel number as a parameter, and that channel number should have been<br>
included in the log. So it would seem it's trying to tune a blank channel<br>number. Looking at the code, it's a little complex to trace down, but the<br>only way I can see that happening is if your channel configuration is a bit<br>
screwy. So that's my current theory. Where did your current channel<br>configuration come from? Did you create it from scratch, or did you reuse<br>one you already had setup for a different tuner? If the latter, what type<br>
of tuner was it created for? Different tuners fill in different values in<br>the database fields, so channel configs for one tuner type is not always<br>compatible with another tuner type.<br>My suggestion is going to be to create a brand new channel lineup, just for<br>
your ceton device. So create a brand new video source linked to the same<br>same schedules direct lineup, assign it to your ceton tuner in the Input<br>Connections screen and then click "Fetch channels from listing source". You<br>
might need to then run mythfilldatabase again (not positive).<br><br>-- <br>Ron Frazier</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks. I figured that I had messed the configuration up somehow while trying to get it to work (because I hadn't upgraded the firmware yet on the device, so it wouldn't work no matter how myth was configured) so I wiped the ~/.mythtv dir and started over. Now at least the log shows something different (below) but the frontend still shows nothing.</div>
<div><br></div><div>(also, I am seeing some signal strength issues which seem to depend on which tuner is used. So now I use tuner 6 which seems to be reliable for the moment)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks a lot, </div>
