No live TV with PVR-500

[rafin]

Hello,

Just installed LinuxMCE but I can't get liveTV to work. MythTV keeps telling me that all available inputs are already in use. It says literally: "MythTV is already using all available inputs for the channel you are using". Also in the system status it says the tuners are not available.

A couple of days ago I found that using normal Ubuntu and MythTV I had to set the PCI latency timers for the PVR-500 as it will not work with a latency timer setting higher than 32.
So I set the latency timer using "setpci -v -s 03:08.1 latency_timer=20" (20 is hex for 32) in /etc/rc.local. After that Ubuntu and MythTV worked. I tried the same in LinuxMCE but it does not work. I gues the rc.local is not executed by LinuxMCE. Can anyone tell me how to get these command executed during boot time in LinuxMCE?

I'm using a PVR-500 with LMCE.  For some reason, by default it sets my two tuners up as capture31 and capture31 (or something very close).  I set them back to capture0 and capture1 in the MythTV setup and it started working.   I'd start there.

By default rc.local is not executed at startup. All you have to do is add a symlink in /etc/rc2.d/ to point to /etc/init.d/rc.local. Make sure it starts with an S and has a number prior to myth starting up. Personally, I named it S19rc.local. But that's because I mount some shares in rc.local and I want to be sure everything that uses them isn't started up until rc.local is started.

In short executing the following command will get rc.local to start at boot.

ln -s /etc/init.d/rc.local /etc/rc2.d/S19rc.local
