I have restarted the backend. I just added some logging to my channel
change script. When I start live tv, it successfully changes channel to
channel 3. However, when I do any other channel changes through the
front end, nothing gets logged from the script, and the front end
crashes, much like it tries to tune to a channel that doesnt' exist.
The channel numbers are all okay, and I have updated all video sources
to use it. Is there a front end config I need to add, or do I need to
add something to my lircrc?
