[mythtv-users] Live TV and Recording Problems

Since upgrading to .20 a month ago, I've been unable to watch live tv
or record shows. I've been struggling with it, and tonight I've had
some more time to look into it.

In my mythbachend.log file, I have some entries that are this:

2006-11-20 08:00:03.285 TVRec(1): Changing from None to RecordingOnly
2006-11-20 08:00:03.342 TVRec(1): HW Tuner: 1->1
2006-11-20 08:00:03.609 Unknown video codec
2006-11-20 08:00:03.618 Please go into the TV Settings, Recording Profiles and
2006-11-20 08:00:03.619 setup the four 'Software Encoders' profiles.
2006-11-20 08:00:03.619 Assuming RTjpeg for now.
2006-11-20 08:00:03.620 NVR: Error, unknown audio codec
2006-11-20 08:00:03.634 NVR: Won't work with the streaming interface,
falling back
2006-11-20 08:00:03.655 Started recording: Trucks!: channel 1056 on
cardid 1, sourceid 1
VIDIOCGMBUF:: Invalid argument


So, like the log says, I went into the software encoders and set them
to mpeg4. I adjusted the rate settings a bit for low and high.

The audio codec is set to mp3, but according to the log it seems that
that is not working either.

I'm running FC4. Can someone suggest anything to get this working? I'm
really missing some of my shows and I have a system that is working
for everything else except this.

Thanks.
