Previous message: [mythtv-users] Scheduled recording & playback OK, but no LiveTV (0.20-fixes fresh install?) Hi folks I'm puzzled. After a clean install (following Jarod's doc), I'm running 0.20-fixes (protocol 31) from ATRPMS and mostly all is well. The puzzle is that while I can schedule recordings and play them back flawlessly, including playing the in-progressrecording, I'm unable to enter LiveTV. The screen goes dark, I can see the external channel change script run in the logs, and visually on my cable box, but then I get unceremoniously dumped back to the menu. I don't believe I'm in the 'missing startchan; delete cards, sources & channels; reconfigure' bucket. (As a precaution I tried that fix, no joy). I've run the backend and frontend with "-v all" but I don't see anything that looks conclusive - I'm curious about the socket connection closing? Full log attached. (N.B. this session was initiated from my Mac frontend, but I get the same problem when the frontend is local to the backend.) 2006-10-03 23:48:06.838 TVRec(1): SetFlags(RunMainLoop,) -> RunMainLoop, 2006-10-03 23:48:06.838 TVRec(1): ClearFlags(ExitPlayer,FinishRecording,) -> RunMainLoop, 2006-10-03 23:48:31.931 TVRec(1): Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2006-10-03 23:48:31.932 TVRec(1): ClearFlags(FrontendReady,CancelNextRecording,) -> RunMainLoop, 2006-10-03 23:48:31.932 TVRec(1): SetFlags(AskAllowRecording,) -> RunMainLoop,AskAllowRecording, 2006-10-03 23:48:31.932 TVRec(1): Request: Program(no) channel() input() flags(LiveTV,) 2006-10-03 23:48:31.933 TVRec(1): HW Tuner: 1->1 2006-10-03 23:48:31.933 TVRec(1): ClearFlags(PENDINGACTIONS,) -> RunMainLoop,AskAllowRecording, 2006-10-03 23:48:38.981 TVRec(1): ClearFlags(NeedToStartRecorder,) -> RunMainLoop,AskAllowRecording, 2006-10-03 23:48:38.981 TVRec(1): SetFlags(NeedToStartRecorder,) -> RunMainLoop,AskAllowRecording,NeedToStartRecorder, 2006-10-03 23:48:38.981 TVRec(1): Starting Recorder 2006-10-03 23:48:39.001 TVRec(1): CreateLiveTVRingBuffer() 2006-10-03 23:48:39.001 TVRec(1): GetProgramRingBufferForLiveTV() 2006-10-03 23:48:39.112 TVRec(1): StartedRecording(0x8767700) fn(/mnt/media/video/1005_20061003234839.mpg) 2006-10-03 23:48:39.227 TVRec(1): SetFlags(RingBufferReady,) -> RunMainLoop,AskAllowRecording,NeedToStartRecorder,RingBufferReady, 2006-10-03 23:48:39.267 TVRec(1): SetFlags(CancelNextRecording,) -> RunMainLoop,CancelNextRecording,AskAllowRecording,NeedToStartRecorder,RingBufferReady, *** Below be dragons? *** 2006-10-03 23:48:39.267 write -> 16 2 ok 2006-10-03 23:48:39.267 MythSocket(8767090:16): state change Connected -> Idle 2006-10-03 23:48:39.267 MythSocket(8767090:-1): cb->connectionClosed() 2006-10-03 23:48:39.267 StopLiveTV(void) curRec: 0x8767700 pseudoRec: 0 2006-10-03 23:48:39.268 MSqlQuery: SELECT recorded.chanid,starttime,endtime,title, subtitle,description,channel.channum, channel.callsign,channel.name,channel.commfree, channel.outputfilters,seriesid,programid,filesize, lastmodified,stars,previouslyshown,originalairdate, hostname,recordid,transcoder,playgroup, recorded.recpriority,progstart,progend,basename,recgroup FROM recorded LEFT JOIN channel ON recorded.chanid = channel.chanid WHERE recorded.chanid = '1005' AND starttime = '2006-10-03T23:48:39' ; 2006-10-03 23:48:39.268 MSqlQuery: SELECT commflagged, cutlist, autoexpire, editing, bookmark, stereo, closecaptioned, hdtv FROM recorded LEFT JOIN recordedprogram ON (recorded.chanid = recordedprogram.chanid AND recorded.starttime = recordedprogram.starttime) WHERE recorded.chanid = '1005' AND recorded.starttime = '2006-10-03T23:48:39' ; 2006-10-03 23:48:39.316 MPEGRec(/dev/video0): VBI service:1, packet size:0, io size:0 *** Above be dragons? *** 2006-10-03 23:48:39.317 TVRec(1): SetFlags(RecorderRunning,RingBufferReady,) -> RunMainLoop,CancelNextRecording,AskAllowRecording,NeedToStartRecorder,RecorderRunning,RingBufferReady, 2006-10-03 23:48:39.317 TVRec(1): ClearFlags(NeedToStartRecorder,) -> RunMainLoop,CancelNextRecording,AskAllowRecording,RecorderRunning,RingBufferReady, 2006-10-03 23:48:39.318 TVRec(1): Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None 2006-10-03 23:48:39.318 TVRec(1): ClearFlags(FrontendReady,CancelNextRecording,) -> RunMainLoop,AskAllowRecording,RecorderRunning,RingBufferReady, 2006-10-03 23:48:39.319 TVRec(1): SetFlags(AskAllowRecording,) -> RunMainLoop,AskAllowRecording,RecorderRunning,RingBufferReady, 2006-10-03 23:48:39.319 TVRec(1): Request: Program(no) channel() input() flags(KillRec,KillRingBuffer,) 2006-10-03 23:48:39.963 TVRec(1): ClearFlags(RecorderRunning,) -> RunMainLoop,AskAllowRecording,RingBufferReady, 2006-10-03 23:48:40.003 TVRec(1): FinishedRecording(Ideal) in recgroup: LiveTV 2006-10-03 23:48:40.008 TVRec(1): ClearFlags(RecorderRunning,) -> RunMainLoop,AskAllowRecording,RingBufferReady, 2006-10-03 23:48:40.008 TVRec(1): Tearing down RingBuffer 2006-10-03 23:48:40.010 TVRec(1): ClearFlags(PENDINGACTIONS,) -> RunMainLoop,AskAllowRecording,RingBufferReady, (Full log is available but was too big - my post was rejected.)

I've just upgraded from Myth 0.19 to Myth 0.20. My backend is on a
separate box to my frontend.

Everything seems to work well (certainly better than in 0.19) except for
one small problem: Volume control.

The audio output is always at full volume. When I press the "[" & "]"
keys to adjust the volume, the OSD shows the volume level changing, but
there is no corresponding change in output volume.

At first I thought this was due to the PC I was running the frontend on
(it was a new PC that I hadn't used Myth on before) but when I dug out
an old Myth frontend box, that had exactly the same problem once Myth
0.20 was installed.

Volume control worked fine in Myth 0.19.

What can I do to troubleshoot or fix this problem ?

Thanks,

GTG
