Hi All,

 

I need some help, I recently upgraded to the latest version from
http://code.mythtv.org/svn/branches/release-0-24-fixes/ (revision 27419) and
installed and set it all up fine. It was when I went to watch tv I had an
issue where it would display the picture but after about 10 seconds the
screen would go black and that is all I would see. I was not able to exit
either.

 

I did some investigation to see if the logs showed anything of any value and
I came across the following: -

2011-01-02 23:00:24.533 TV: Attempting to change from WatchingLiveTV to None

 

This occurs when watching tv, recordings and my own videos (via mythvideo).
I have done quite a bit of searching to see if anyone has come up with a
solution/work around for this but I am yet to find anything and from what I
have read that this is recently introduced. The previous versions of mythtv
I have installed worked perfectly so I don't think it's my hardware and its
occurring on a number of frontends I have setup. 

 

I am running out of ideas and I really don't want to have to revert back to
an older version as I like the new features such as mythnetvision. Can
anyone help me please?

 

The following is my mythfrontend version: -
