[mythtv-users] Same Problem: Socket Problems with MythTV

[mardin01 at gmx.de]

Hello 
 
I did have the same problems ... removing database and config and recreate
it 
won't solve problems :-( 
 
Any ideas or solutions ? 
 
Thanks 
Martin

Socket Problems with MythTV  
 
 
 
Goodday,  
 I have recently added a WinTV GO card to my machine after about  
three years using my ATI All-in-Wonder Rage 128 Pro. I have used the Gatos  
drivers and apps written for the ATI cards but have been tired of the  
limitations of size and compression. However, it worked!  
  
 In order to get the bttv-based components working cleanly, I setup a  
dual boot with Mandrake 9.0 and Redhat 9.0. The Mdk partition has the Gatos 

stuff which works and the Redhat is where I am trying to get the bttv  
working. So far I can view TV on multiple applications and I am trying to  
use MythTV as a PVR. I used the ATRPMs for mythtv and all installed without 

any failed dependencies. I am followed the numerous guides people have done 

and seem to have a good initial setup. I have even got the xmltv setup done 

and have filled the database with mythfilldatabase (took an extremely long  
time over dialup!).  
  
 Unfortunately, when I attempt to run mythbackend I get a qsocket  
error that it cannot find the port 6543. Without mythbackend I cannot do  
anything else. Now I have just found how to check if the port is open using 

netstat or nmap, but how would I start the port and link it to the  
mythbackend application if it is not started? Should this not be  
started/initialized when mythtvsetup is run?  
  
 Thanks in advance.
