[mythtv-users] New Install - Hang on entering live tv

[Bob]

Thanks Steve for the words of encouragement. I would not be surprised if
that was the case. I will continue to check and recheck.

The strange part to me is that mplayer by itself works fine. Is there any
way to make Myth log more (like maybe the exact command line that it uses to
start live TV).

I have searched the archives and googled this topic to no avail.

When I select "Watch Live TV" from the main menu.
* the screen goes blank
* sometimes I hear a brief time of audio then it stops
* X consumes 98% of cpu
* the keyboard / mouse is unresponsive
* both backend and front end continue to run.
* I can still ssh in and recover by doing "init 3", "init 5"

/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log (these lines are written when I go into Live

TV)

Hiya Bob,

I've had this before on a new install, and it was with a Nova-T. I remember 
it killing me for a while, unti I realised I'd made a stupid mistake.
I just can't remember what it was, if I come up with anything I'll let you 
know, but otherwise, check *everything* a dozen or so times!

Sorry I can't be of my help,

Steve Daniels
