MythTV how to configure. Please help me step by step

[bongowongo]

Hello fellow MythTV adventurers. I need help step by step to install and configure MythTV.
I tried certain approaches, all failed, but I had success with Mplayer, so I know now it is possible.
But I do not know how to configure MythTV

Hardware
Hauppauge WinTV 4000
"Tele 2 TV Box" connected from S-Video, to S-Video of the card.
For audio I used the red and white of the "Tele 2 TV Box" and plugged this into the "audio in" of the Hauppauge WinTV 4000

Just for the purpose of testing the hardware I used the liveCD of MythDora http://mythdora.com/?q=MD12.23-Release-Notes
This is what I typed into Konsole for me to get a working picture and sound:

Code Select Expand

mplayer tv:// -tv norm=PAL-BG:input=2:alsa=1:adevice=hw.1:audiorate=48000:immediatemode=0:amode=1

MythTV could not be correctly configured.
See attached pictures for settings I used in MythTV

P.S.
I know I used 0.23 rc2 but I think for configuring it should not be that different than what we use now?
Also never get it to work under linuxmce 0810, MythTV and the Mplayer code.

Thanks
I will try this coming weekend. Still it does not tell me yet what I have done wrong in this config. It drives me crazy because I have the feeling I am missing something fundamental.

What is the error that you are getting? Also is this on the core or an MD?

This is the core.
I see the screen where it tries to starts to play the TV on frontend, does not happen, goes back to MythTV frontend menu and then tries to start up TV again. It is a loop.

Sounds like the communication with the backend is failing...

Ok
And is that user error, or is that snapshot error? Or both?

Could be any of the above...but if it not a generally reported problem then is probably a config error.

if this is a snapshot error is it possible to re-install a new snapshot without having to wipe the core(formatting the drive and losing all media etc)?

I do not know
but because this is a beta, I keep my media away from my core.
I have a seperate NAS for that.

Also, are my settings for sound correct?
