I'm having EXACTLY the sam issues (except for #2). I have a EPIA M9000
with a bt878, running Via's own drivers and xawtv works and mplayer
plays music. The problem I'm having trouble resolving is this: can my
soundcard do dulpex? I have read somewhere that MythTV will not show any
video if duplex audio is not present (!). Is there some way to confirm
this? I have read some threads about using two instances of xawtv to
test duplex, but that doesn't work for me.
Interrestingly enough watching LiveTV can be quit with ESC if I don't
press "c" (that will hang MythTV). All I see is a blank screen, though,
but something is being recorded, I can see the cache-file growing.
Another thing is that I have gotten MythTV to show me video twice in the
last four weeks, but only very briefly. I have no idea what I did right
those two times and I have not been able to recreate the circumstances.
Does xmltv provide working channels, or only programlistings? I have
tried to use both tv_grab_fi-output and xawtv-configuration files for
mythfilldatabase, but no go.
I have now tried to install MythTV for several weeks. I am becoming very
disillusioned, so if someone has some answers other that RTFM, please
help, because I have read the docs and rummaged through the mailinglists
A LOT.
