Installation issues / Configuring Mythtv!
« on: June 28, 2010, 09:26:29 am »
Hi Guys,
I have searched almost everywhere with no success on how to setup mythtv on LinuxMCE 0810 (both versions)!? There are few posts about this but not real answers.
Firstly, i have tried to install 0810 and 0810beta on EPIA-M motherboard and had no success. It has a problem with a screen card and with all the answers here i couldn't get it running.
So, i decided to get new motherboard, new CPU, memory, etc. which supports NVidia drivers. This was my about, 20th time i am installing and re-installing and again - no success.
Everything installs, i get the screen running but had to change to nvidia with nvidia-xconfig. Screen is ok now. I have Hauppage pvr-250 card and i noticed that it wasn't configured automatically during the installation. Long story short, i managed to install it in admin and LinuxMCE installed all the drivers needed. I thought the problem was solved, but when starting the TV it says that Mythtv backend has died and it will try and restart! Screen pause on gray for about 10 sec and goes back to orbiter screen.
Now, i went to KDE and checked mythtv setup where everything was wrong. For some time (changing settings, restarting the PC) i couldn't get the card to be registered and after i don't know what i have done, it has seen it and it looked fine. When gone back to LinuxMCE - still, same problem!
They say here that the card is not properly registered and i have to go to Computing and start Mythtv setup but there is no mythtv setup! I tried to start from terminal and it shows error.
Cam somebody please help?
