[mythtv-users] newbie: PVR150 OK in VLC, no MythTV LiveTV

[Mark A. Miller]

[I apologize if this appears twice.  I tried sending it as a non-member
two days ago.]

Hello all.  I can't get anything except a black screen from the "watch
TV" option from the MythTV frontend.  I have been able to get a nice TV
stream in VLC in every case that I've tried.  I'm feeling like I'm
overlooking something really simple.

I have tried two MythTV distros (KnoppMyth and MythDora) on two
different motherboards and a variety of video cards.  (Mostly nvidia,
and I have installed the proprietary drivers in several of my
attempts.)

Below is the output when I run mythtv from the command prompt.  Any
suggestions would be greatly apprecieted.

Mark
