Would you like to clear all program/channel
settings before starting configuration? [no]
This option seems to be inadequately labeled. I /really/ didn't want to
wipe all of the channel setting for no good reason since it takes a /long/
time to re-populate the DB.
Saying yes to the second question /did/ get rid of those entries.
But that wasn't the problem.
I coincidentally ran motv as root and got . . . no picture. When I ran
mythbackend and mythfrontend as the same user as my X session (and
monkeyed around with some file permissions) it all fell into place.
I now have the following questions:
Is there a list of default keyboard controls somewhere?
How can one bring the sound and video in sync?
Why isn't the mouse available on the main frontend screen?
Is there a way to exit from the main screen gracefully?
Why doesn't it turn off the audio when I go back to the main screen?
Why doesn't it shut down when I use the "close" feature of my WM?
Why doesn't it turn off the audio when I kill it or use ctrl-c? (As this
seems to be the only way to exit.)
Thanks for all the help!
