[mythtv-users] A bunch of problems and maybe some bugs with mythtv, web, video and music

[Chris Germano]

Here are a bunch of minor problems I'm having, and would I greatly 
appreciate any help you can give! I just upgraded to the latest cvs tonight 
Jun 13th ~11pm PST for all the modules mentioned below. I'm running Mandrake 
9.1 with the latest KDE I believe.

Focus and Xwindow Failures: This is starting to drive me nuts as usually I 
can now crash irxevent with just a minute of playing with the menus. 
Basicaly randomly when I exit a menu to go back to some other menu I will 
lose my remote control functionality and the following error is shown. To 
fix this I have to kill the frontend, start irxevent over again and then 
relaunch the front end! Can someone please offer me some insight, this makes 
no sense to me and nobody has solved it in the archives yet!

Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 25 (X_SendEvent)
Resource id in failed request: 0x1c002a1
Serial number of failed request: 73
Current serial number in output stream: 75

MythVideo: After I return from playback of mplayer my window does not regain 
focus. I then cannot use my remote control until I hit alt-tab or click on 
it. Someone once mentioned this could be my kde settings under focusing but 
I believe it is setup correctly. Any ideas?

MythMusic bug: If I goto the General Settings, hit next and enter my dvdrom 
drive "/mnt/hdd" then hit finish and go back it reverts back to 
"/dev/cdrom0." I'm assumming this is a bug?

MythMusic Interface Question: When your playing music now you can go up and 
down like in the playlist but not have control over the bottom interface of 
play/stop etc. I know all of the keys pretty much are mapped to play and 
pause on my remote but what is Previous Track and Next Track buttons mapped 
to? aka the far most >| & |< buttons cannot be accessed. If there are names 
for these that myth recognizes I will change my lirc config but I need to 
know what these are to set my remote to.

Mythfilldatabase: I created a file with the following in it chmodded it and 
set it into my cron.daily folder. It is chmodded the same as all the other 
files in there but it never runs. I created a log file for it as shown by 
the command but it never has anything in it. Any ideas?

#!/bin/sh

mythfilldatabase 2>&1 >> /var/log/myth/dbfill.log &

MythWeb: Clicking "Record" when trying to clear schedule conflicts still 
does nothing. Any ideas? Does it have anything to do with this php error 
message at the top: "Warning: shell_exec() [function.shell-exec]: Cannot 
execute using backquotes in Safe Mode in /var/www/html/pvr/functions.php on 
line 789"
