Well, I had not upgraded for a while, and decided to switch to the latest
svn trunk. Having a few issues, thought I would see if anybody else
has had them.
1) Worst issue -- the pchdtv 3000 card in the master server is no longer
working. It's acting like there is no signal, but if I do
"mplayer /dev/video32" I can see the video just fine and signal is
good. Myth reports 0% signal in live tv mode, recordings don't record
a file, but nor do they abort. I am using the same drivers and
2.6.9 kernel as I did before, not DVB. I will perhaps go to the 2.6.15
kernel and dvb, but that's a bunch of work (redo hard fought nvidia, redo
chanel mappings etc.)
2) On the slave server, pretty much identical in config, when mythtvfrontend
terminates, the X server crashes, with minimal diagnostics.
"Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting
Any attempt to terminate myth causes this, including ctrl^C on
the terminal session that invoked frontend. Nothing else has changed
but the myth upgrade. I do not have the exit option to take the
system down.
3) Minimalist-wide is oddly acting worse than a year ago. All images
vanish if you move over them. Somtimes it puts the x server in
another strange mood, looking like 8 bit colour, but if you switch
the focus to another window the colours look ok. I switched to
mythcenter-wide though I have not yet figured how to customize
list colours in it. this is thus pretty minor.
Any thoughts? I re ran mythtv-setup but did not yet destroy and
recreate the atsc card.
The pvr250 in the slave server is working fine.
