MythTV behaving weird...

[chewi]

My MythTV behaves weird when started from LMCE...
It keeps switching between EPG view and TV-Picture continously until linuxmce reports some problem with the backend...

When i start mythfrontend manually from the kde-desktop, everything works fine...

Does anyone have any idea why that could be ?

I have been having this same problem on only one of my MD's the other starts fine.  I have been search in the logs, but I have not found anything at this time.

I will keep you posted if I find something.

Thanks,
Rob

Ok, I think I tracked it down a little more...

From what i understand, Mythtv starts. Then LMCE tells it to jump to livetv. MythTV ends up in the EPG-Grid. And then LMCE seems to send or MythTV to process the swith-Command twice, so that MythTV switches to TV and back to the EPG-Grid. Then LMCE queries the current Display and asks for the switch again...
So maybe, the delay before query-Location should just wait a little longer (might be DVB-T specifict, as tuning might take a little loger)...

But can that be configured anywhere ? Where ?

Blocks continue until crash of backend is supposed by LMCE

If I don't restart the Backend, it seems to work correctly from that time on...

Here is my log, it is a little different, but the problem is the same.  I believe that you are right when it times out to quickly with certain cards.  The MD that I am having problems with is the WinTV PVR-USB2 the MD with the 2 PVR250s is fine.

[chewi]

I did have a look into the code on svn.pluto and svn@sourceforge.
If found the code responsible it's MythTV_Player/MythTV_Player.cpp -> void MythTV_Player::pollMythStatus() with m_mythStatus_get() == MYTHSTATUS_STARTUP within the do {...} while Timeout(NULL) < timeout;

But the versions of the code from pluto and sourceforge do not match, and I don't know, what version is current 0704 and what version is svn-head-development...

[rwilson131]

Sources have to be downloaded from the Mirrors. The SVN is not current at this time.

[chewi]

The 0704-Sources are there as torrent, yes...

But what about the updates that have been released ? Where can I find them ?
