Using the workaround it works, although to be honest I forgot why I wanted to use linuxmce, none of the alleged out of the box features from the video worked out of the box.  I had an easier time modifying Knoppmyth to interact with my X10 system and remote than I did with linuxmce.  If myth worked well under MCE I would switch but I think I will wait for 1.1 before trying again...

Does it work with the onboard video card?  I am thinking this is an issue with pluto and how it loads mythfrontend...  the corwin workaround is working fine for me, but I'm elbow deep in the pluto code trying to find the issue anyway, it would be nice to not have to load  a different orbiter to exit mythfrontend...

I am using a PNY Verto GeForce FX5500 Graphics Adapter AGP - 128 MB.

I will try to pick up a new video card and see if that changes anything.

Are you using alpha blending in the UI?  I think a 6xxx nvidia is required for the OpenGL extensions, I wonder if that has anything to do with it...

Did you install the nvidia drivers specifically or did you have a vanilla install?

I think not useless!  So we are narrowing the problem down to certainly not mythfrontend.  I notice in the process listing there is something called 'SCREEN' before each device running.  I am thinking that mythfrontend kicks off and whatever is supposed to keep it running in focus (though I'm hesitant to use focus) loses it and it may be trying to go back to pluto.  Part of the issue may be that myth likes to take control from window manager and there is a struggle between pluto and myth over the xserver.

Does anyone have myth working correctly???

So in looking at the mythtv plugin device template, it is not listed as an audio visual device.

I listed it as an av device and there was no change other than myth staying on screen a little longer...

Not being sarcastic, have you tried 127.0.0.1?

Run a netstat -an and see where myth is listening, it appears to be defaulting to 0.0.0.0 which would indicate all interfaces are listening.  I have eth0 and eth0:0 and a remote mythfrontend (mac) works on both interfaces.  Albeit I can't watch tv on the remote interface either...

Also I attempted to have myth record a program last night and it failed, I'm not quite sure whats going on here.  Has anyone run mythfrontend on the LMCE box without LMCE running e.g: kill LMCE, startx, run myhtfrontend?

I haven't noticed a difference when I changed it, but I noticed myth is configured to use alpha blending which my video card does not support...  Anyone have any luck changing this setting?

Same issue here, an I have myth running fine on a different drive on this box.

One thing I noticed is in Spawn_mythfrontend_xxxxx.log

<snip>
mythtv: could not connect to socket
mythtv: No such file or directory
lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages
</snip>

I had the same problem, re-enabling asterisk fixed it.
