[mythtv-users] ConvertX stopped working after upgrading to 0.24

[Naoyuki Tai]

Hi,

I had MythBuntu + MythTV 0.23 MythBuntu distribution was working fine with ConvertX, and then I upgraded to 0.24, the capturing is now failing.

The failing capture shows following log.

It looks like trying to set the channel to /dev/video1.

2011-03-17 01:36:46.507 Channel(/dev/video1)::Tune(): Error -1 while setting frequency (v2): Invalid argument

But, this USB device has no tuner. Actually, hooked up to a Fios cable box DCT700.
I change channel by a python script, which works fine.

Before the update, the log showed.

Here is the /dev/video1, ConvertX in the database.

The cardinput table is

mysql> select * from cardinput where cardid = 8;
+-------------+--------+----------+-----------+------------------+----------+-----------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-----------+
| cardinputid | cardid | sourceid | inputname | externalcommand  | tunechan | startchan | displayname | dishnet_eit | recpriority | quicktune |

As you can see, externalcommand is set, but somehow the backend does not use it in 0.24.

Is there anything to get this going?

Thanks.
