[mythtv-users] invalid card id?

[Colin Armstrong]

Hi everyone,
I am getting sort of frustrated with my capture cards, so if any of you
have any idea of what my problem is please let me know. Anyway I used to
be able to watch tv fine using mythtv, but after I tried to use a
PVR-250, there started to be problems. I am right now using a bttv card,
a WinTV-GO, the lowest end WinTV card. Here is my problem; I boot up
mythbackend and for about 5 seconds it seems fine but then it give an
error and quits. I have two other problems which may be related to this.
I will will discuss them briefly here and in depth in two following
emails. One of my other two problems is that sometimes mythtv shows the
tv as scrambled, like I am not supposed to receive this channel. This is
fixed by going into xawtv and setting the input to TV. My other problem
is that I can not figure out how to remove an input from the list in
mythtvsetup which may be the cause of my other two problems. Below is
what the terminal shows when I try to start mythbackend:

[root at conf-pc colin]# mythbackend
Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the
authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based
authentication failed
Starting up as the master server.
Probed: /dev/video0 - Television
Probed: /dev/video0 - Composite1
Probed: /dev/video0 - S-Video
Probed: /dev/video0 - Composite3
Composite is defined, but isn't attached to a cardinput.
invalid cardid -1

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Colin
