[mythtv-users] Setting up Mythtv via Debian Chroot

[Alex Van Deusen]

Hello I am longtime mythtv user.  Proud to say 10+ years.

In the past I ran it on knoppmyth and than mythbuntu.   I tried to keep it
simple with low maintenance.

I now want to run mythtvbackend (only) on synology nas.   Yes I am aware
that is a terrible idea but its actually a modified synology called
Xpenology running on an 8core processor with 16gig of Ram.   So hardware is
more than up for the task.  I used to run mythbackend on a 1ghz intel
backend with 512K.

There is a package built already for synology for debian Wheezy via chroot
which is installed.  I can enter debian Chroot via terminal with no issues.
   Although I think I dont have it properly setup in terms of locales and
other basic setup.  I am not a Debian guy.

I installed the keyring from deb-multimedia

apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring

I than added below to my sources.list
*deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org <http://www.deb-multimedia.org> wheezy
main non-free*


I did an apt update

Than I did an apt-get install mythtv-backend.

blah at Syno:/# apt-get install mythtv-backend

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:


The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 mythtv-backend : Depends: libmyth-0.26-0 (>= 0.26.1+fixes20140122~) but it
is not going to be installed

                  Depends: libmythavcodec54 (>= 0.26.1+fixes20140122~) but
it is not going to be installed

                  Depends: mythlogserver but it is not going to be installed

                  Depends: mythtv-transcode but it is not going to be
installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


I dont know how to fix the above broken packages.   Do I need to?


I installed the mythtv-database next.



It went through but at the end gave me errors.

Setting up mythtv-database (0.26.1+fixes20140227-dmo1) ...

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)



I just want to get to the point where I can


1. start  mythtvbackend

2. Run-setup

3.Configure my capture cards (Hdhomerun and HD-pvr) and schedules direct
 lineups, etc.


Is anyone running mythtv in this way and get help me get this setup
properly.
