It seems that I did too much of Jarod's guide as root when I should have
been in the mythtv user. But I've fixes most of that and I have just a
few issues left. Guide works, recording works, remote works...I'm
loving it! I've been digging through the archives, but it's tough
finding these specific issues...
1. I followed the assuming PVR-350 out and it works great, sound and
all. But ONLY tv shows up on the PVR-350 output. The MythTV menus
still reside on my monitor? Where did I go wrong? How do I get
everything to the PVR-350 output?
2. The MythGallery menu is "ghosted"? And I can't seem to get the "menu
selector" over to it? So I manually copy pictures into
/var/lib/pictures and then they show up in the MythGallery screen...but
still I can't move off of the pictures to the menu on the left (trying
to get to IMPORT button!)
3. I've read but can't confirm that MythGallery won't work with PVR-350
out? I have an MSI MX440 in as well. What would I need to do in order
to switch from the PVR-350 out to the MX440 out?
FYI, my system is...
Backend Server and Frontend A (TOTAL: $789)
Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 Personal Video Recorder
ASUS A7V8X-X w/AMD XP 2600+ w/512MB RAM
Antec Overture (piano black) Case w/380W ATX PSU
Seagate 200GB ST3200822A ULTRA ATA 100 8MB 7200RPM
MSI MX440-T 64MB 8XAGP DDR W/TV (backup should PVR-250 out no
work)
SONY 16X DVD-ROM DDU1621 Silver
Later add second tuner to Backend Server (I got in on $88
PVR-250 on ebay)
Later Front Ends B,C,D... (TOTAL: $346 each)
ASUS A7V8X-MX-SE w/AMD XP 2600+ w/512MB RAM
Antec Minuet (piano black) Case w/220W ATX PSU
MSI MX440-T 64MB 8XAGP DDR W/TV
SONY 16X DVD-ROM DDU1621 Silver
Hard Drive (can I skip this somehow and network boot?)
So I hope to get the backend working without additional PVR-250...then
I'll add the PVR-250. And then I'll try creating the next Front End.
Thanks,
Matt
