Hello,
I am trying to get a "WinTV Nova-T" DVB card going with MythTV 0.14.
mplayer seems to work fine with this card.
I have been constantly trying with MythTV 0.14, and not getting any
luck.
MythTV backend starts off fine:
2004-03-20 18:48:59 DVB#0 Using DVB card 0, with frontend Philips TDA10045H.
2004-03-20 18:48:59 DVB#0 Trying to tune to channel 2.

2004-03-20 18:49:03 DVB#0 Waiting for frontend event after tune.
2004-03-20 18:49:03 DVB#0 WARNING - Status: NO LOCK!

2004-03-20 18:49:03 DVB#0 Successfully tuned to channel 2.
But most of the time doesn't get any further. On this weird attempt,
when trying to view DVB, I got:
2004-03-20 18:49:18 DVB#0 Recorder: Card opened successfully.

Segmentation fault
The segmentation fault is the only part common all failures. The PIDs
mentioned above are the correct values, as verified with
mplayer. Another common error I have seen is the "no data received
from card for 1 second".
Typically, when it fails like in the above, not even mplayer will work
until I reboot the computer again:

[hangs]
Initially I had all DVB parameters in MythTV to AUTO, just in case
this was a problem (I suspect it isn't), I set all of them to values
from the channels.conf I was using for mplayer. It doesn't seem to
have helped.
Currently I can get it working, but it doesn't last long. For
instance changing channels kills it every time. However, once I
restart the frontend (no need to restart the backend unless it
crashed), the new channel works fine. eg.

Any ideas?
When it does work, it is perfect. When it doesn't work, it crashes and
burns.
Also, how do I get my DVB card to be used as the default? MythTV
always wants to default to my Analog card. Pushing C has no effect. In
fact right now, I have given up and disabled the other card by
changing the hostname in the database table, so I can test the DVB
card.
Thanks in advance.
