[opensuse] More Mythtv problems
I'm trying to set up a Hauppage WinTV-HVR 900 USB stick to use with Mythtv. I'm following the instructions on http://lunapark6.com/?p=2682, but I'm stuck on the fourth line below cd /lib/firmware wget http://konstantin.filtschew.de/v4l-firmware/firmware_v4.tgz tar xvzf firmware_v4.tgz hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mrechberger/v4l-dvb-kernel-history cd v4l-dvb-kernel-history make make install reboot bash objects to the command hg, but I need to download the file which contains the firmware drivers for the stick. Another problem is the lack of a /dev/video0 file. Will that appear when the drivers get installed? -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.1, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You need to install the mercurial package ( Its on the openSUSE DVD) and then I suggest you follow the details on the following page on howto download and compile V4L-DVB repository. Checkout V4L-DVB or dvb-apps http://linuxtv.org/repo/ -- Regards, Graham Smith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks. I've installed mercurial and downloaded/installed the v4l-dvb drivers. Kdetv now sees the WinTV-HVR 900 and can tune in to 6 free-to-air channels, but without sound :( However, mythtv cannot connect to the backend server, asks whether the server is running or is the IP address wrong. It is looking for mythconverg, user mythtv, password mythtv. The IP address is localhost, but 127.0.0.1 doesn't work either. Using knoda, I can connect to the mythconverg database and view its tables, so I'm not sure why mythtv fails. After getting this far, I don't want to give up now :) -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.1, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Need a bit more info. Is the backend running on the same computer as the frontend? If not you need to configure the frontend with the ip address of the backend. Did you start the backend after configuring it? rcmythbackend restart This is what I use to test to see if it is running ps -e | grep myth 25643 ? 00:02:16 mythbackend Also please have a look at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Opensuse_10.2 -- Regards, Graham Smith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes. I can do that now.
Also please have a look at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Opensuse_10.2
That page seems to open all the time, here ;) I've now got to the point where I can start mythtv frontend, and I presume it is connecting to the hardware and the backend. However, when I select 'Watch TV' I get this message: "MythTV is already using all available inputs for the channel you selected. If you want to watch an in-progress recording, select one from the playback menu. If you want to watch live TV, cancel one of the in-progress recordings from the delete menu." But there are no recordings taking place :( -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.1, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
