[mythtv-users] Attempting to 'Watch TV' on Primary Server using Slave Backend's PVR-350

[Doug Conyers]

I've recently upgraded my primary and slave Myth backend/frontend boxes to
0.19.  I am seeing an issue which I did not previously see in 0.18.1. The
short version of the issue seems to be that I can't watch 'Live TV' on my
primary backend using the tuner that is in my slave backend box.

Here is my test case:
1) Setup a recording so that the [single] tuner on the primary backend is in
use.
2) Using the frontend on the primary backend server, select 'Watch TV'

The screen will 'flash' and return the the menuing screen.  If the tuner
that resides on the primary server is NOT in use, the 'Watch TV' works fine.

'mythfrontend' will output the following:
2006-02-20 15:31:10.493 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback
2006-02-20 15:31:10.498 adding: myth1 as a client (events: 0)
2006-02-20 15:31:10.522 Should be local only query: SpawnLiveTV

'mythbackend' on the primary server will output:
2006-02-20 15:31:50.008 TV: Attempting to change from None to WatchingLiveTV
2006-02-20 15:31:50.016 Using protocol version 26
2006-02-20 15:31:50.045 GetEntryAt(-1) failed.
2006-02-20 15:31:50.047 EntryToProgram(0 at Wed Dec 31 18:00:00 1969) failed to
get pginfo
2006-02-20 15:31:50.047 TV Error: LiveTV not successfully started
2006-02-20 15:31:50.047 TV Error: LiveTV not successfully started
2006-02-20 15:31:50.060 TV: Deleting TV Chain in destructor

nothing is output on the slave backend.

If I attempt to 'Watch TV' using the Frontend running on the slave machine,
it works just fine.

The Primary Backend is running FC4 with version 0.19 of mythtv-suite that
was attained from RPMs.  The Slave Backend is running Gentoo with version
0.19 of mythtv that was attained/built via portage.  Both machines are using
PVR-350s as tuners.

I've checked the bug database and don't see any bugs, so I'm hoping I have
something misconfigured.  Thanks, doug.
