Well, after much blood, sweat, and tears I'm able to get live video from
my WinTV PVR 250 through /dev/video0. The only way I can watc it right
now is using "mplayer /dev/video0".. and that's without sound (haven't
figured that out yet)
I've successfully compiled the latest CVS of mythtv and set it up
according to the docs. When I get to using mythfrontend it freezes when
I click on "Watch TV".
Here's output from mythbackend:
-----------------------------------
Starting up as the master server.

..and after I start mythfrontend:

2003-04-29 23:33:38 adding: <hostname> as a player 0

2003-04-29 23:33:38adding: <hostname> as a remote ringbuffer
Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
strange error flushing buffer ...
----------------------------------------------------------------
and that's it. I can't do anything in mythfrontend after this so I have
to kill it. Do the errors shown above have anything to do with this?
Could it have something to do with the fact that I haven't gotten sound
working yet? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben Davis
