Hi,
In Debian Sid, Mythtv was recently updated to the last version
29.1+fixes20180603.git1777cc4425-dmo1 from http://www.deb-multimedia.org.
My capture card is no more recognized:
$ mythtv-setup
.....
Can't open DVB frontend (/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0) for /dev/dvb/adapter0/
frontend0.
.....
However /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 exists:
$ ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 212, 0 juin 4 21:56 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
The card works. There is a tool (from the vendor) that shows that the card
works:
$ mediaclient -e
**** List of Media Hardware Devices ****
device 0: [SkyTV Ultimate 6 2016/Q1] DVB-S/S2, ANALOG-TV, REMOTE-CONTROL,
OSS-AUDIO
[INFO]:
STATUS: ACTIVE
....
Mythtv is also installed on another pc and there the card is recognized.
I let mythtv-setup delete the card and create a new one, it does not work. It
says it can't find the type of card and that there is an unknown error.
Also the frontend cannot connect to database although it is running:
# systemctl status mythtv-backend

I tried without success
#dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database
and
#dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common
It does not help.
Bye
