 Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 3:38 pm Post subject: mythtv capture card drivers? |
 |
|
I have an evga nvtv PCI capture card.
is this able to work on linux at all? I can not find anything anywhere on getting it to work.
Also I have the microsoft remote (silver one with big ugly green button in the middle) with USB received
how can I get these two things to work
right now I have mythtv compiled and running on xorg 7 with nvidia drivers
when i run mythtv-setup i get an error that it couldnt connect to the database, but i can connect using the mysql command

What versions of myth and mysql and qt are you running? are you running x86 or ~x86 or some other arch?
I'm sure this is a silly question, but have you done
| Code: |
# rc-update add mythbackend default
|
and/or
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/mythbackend start
|
?
Good luck. |

Did you setup the database? | Code: | | mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/mythtv/database/mc.sql |
Have you allowed access to the database?
I allow access to all my frontends with the following mysql command: | Code: | grant all on mythconverg.* to user@"192.168.1.%" identified by "password"
|
Have you set the correct username and password in mythtv-setup.(Same username and password as above) |

i started the mythbackend with /etc/init.d/mythbackend start
when i go to restart i get a failed to kill - no such process
i tried to start explicitly and i get no database connector found -> i have the mysql use flag enabled though
mysql is working fine...
MySQL 5.0.19 ~x86
MythTV 0.19 ~x86
im on a stable distro but using testing packages
im also using Xorg 7 and test nvidia drivers for my video card which are working fine.

I never run mythbackend as root user. i.e using /etc/init.d/mythbackend start
Run mythbackend & mythfrontend as user in a xterm.
I have mine load from the fluxbox startup file.
If that doesnt work i would downgrade to mysql 4. Apparently there are a lot of changes in mysql 5.
I have mysql-4.1.14-r1 installed on mine with mythtv-0.19_p9163-r1 |
