Hi y'all, experienced Linux guy here, also absolute noob with
MythTV.<br><br>
Not having any luck getting through the mythtv-setup script. So far my
Goggle-Fu (Duck Duck Go-Fu) has failed me. This is on a Ubuntu 20.04.4
machine.<br><br>
The pretty green and blue menu comes up, and I configured a lot of the
"General" options. But when I get to the capture cards menu,
I'm stuck. I added a new capture card, clicked it, and selected
"HDHomeRun Networked Tuner" from the list. <br><br>
But I'm at a complete loss as to tell it what my HDHomeRun boxes IP
addresses are (I have two of them, two tuners each). I can't figure out
how to configure anything about them. Evidently, they are identified by
some sort of code, which looks to me like a MAC address fragment. Fine,
that's great, how do I tell it to find it? <br><br>
Exiting the mythtv-setup program, I can run this:
<dl>
<dd># hdhomerun_config discover
<dd>hdhomerun device 101A2E3D found at 172.20.0.118
<dd>hdhomerun device 10186C10 found at 172.20.0.119
</dl>The hdhomerun_gui tool runs fine, and shows me four tuners. I can
scan for channels and click "View" and watch TV in a VLC
window. The Channel box shows "us-bcast" and "5" --
this seems to be the lowest channel number with a signal on it. It's
pretty bad in my area. channel "8" is the first one that has
solid reception. <br><br>
I have a subscription to Schedules Direct. I haven't even tried to set
that up yet. <br><br>
I noodled around a little in the Video sources menu, but don't really
know what I'm doing. I created a source called "Antenna1" with
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>no
grabber, <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>channel
freq table=usbcast<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>scan
frequency=0<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Network
ID=-1<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Bouquet-0<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Region
ID=0<br><br>
All I have in Input Connections is one called [ HDHOMERUN: ] (none) ->
(none) which has in its config: <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Input
Name: MPEG2TS<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Display
name: Input1<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Video
Source: Antenna1<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Use Quick
tuning: Never<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>. . .
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Starting
channel: Please add channels to this source.<br><br>
Under Channel scan, I go through the dialogs there and click
"Scan" and the result is "Programmer Error: No
Device" <br>
I guess that doesn't surprise me since it can seem to find my HDHR
tuners. <br><br>
Can someone please help my out with this? Assume I can find my way around
a linux command line pretty good and don't know anything about MYthTV.
<br><br>
Many thanks. <br><br>
