[mythtv-users] Australian HOWTO?

[Markus Buchanan]

Thanks James,

I did as you suggested, and modified the permissions for the dvr0 entry.

It works a charm with dvbstream, I can record an mpeg file in perfect
quality, but I just can't get it to work with MythTV, mplayer on Xine.

I fixed the mplayer permissions issue as well, but it just hangs,
claimig to be loading a buffer but it never goes above 0.0%

xine pretty well froze everything trying to get it to play through that,
I am so close to gettting this to work, I can taste it!

Where to go from here though, I dunno.... have to give it some more
thought.

cheers

markus
