Title: mythtv doesn't work anymore in 0.35
Post by: archived on January 12, 2006, 06:21:52 pm

Hi,

my mythtv setup seems to quit working after upgrade to 0.35...

Also there is strange behaviour when navigating it with keyboard (Onscreen remote control pops up on each key press).

I tried to run mythbackend manually and it seems that backend is working, but frontend just says - couldn't initialize video device...

Any similar experience ? Any solution ?

I'm aware of Pluto efforts for integration of mythtv - what I would suggest (if I may) that mythtv backend, offline PVR service is first enabled (so we can schedule recordings over mythweb and see it over Xine device), and then GUI gradually added...


Regards,

Rob.

Hi,

I can confirm this behaviour (keyboard events trigger the menu which partly hides mythtv). Haven't found a solution.

Title: Fix the unable to Initialize Video Problem
Post by: archived on January 17, 2006, 01:18:28 am

The problem is that MythTV is trying to use XvMC but it is getting an error, to fix the problem you have to turn off useXvMC function.  I do this by using phpmyadmin and accessing mythconverg:settings it is on the second page and change the 1 to 0.  

killall mythfrontend

and restart mythfrontend

The main problem according to the logs is that Mythtv needs to be built against the current libXvMCNVIDIA version, and according to everything that I have read it should then work.
