Post subject:  Mythstream install

I've tried following the Howto on the Wiki

http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page ... eamInstall

As well as following along with this thread

http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6650


But I can never get beyond this point

Code:
2. tar -xvzf mythstream-v0.16_3.tar.gz
3. export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
4. export PATH=$PATH:$QTDIR/bin
5. cd /usr/src/mythtv/source
7. tar -xvjf mythtv-0.17.tar.bz2


because when I untar mythtv-0.17.tar.bz2 the file does not exist, I can then not move onto the next step

Code:
8. cd mythtv-0.17


What am I doing wrong or is this HowTo no longer valid with R5A26?

I also tried using mythstream-v016.5 and mythtv-0.18.2 as per the above thread, but ran into the same issue. After

Code:
2. tar -xvzf mythstream-v0.16_5.tar.gz
3. export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
4. export PATH=$PATH:$QTDIR/bin
5. cd /usr/src/mythtv/source
7. tar -xvjf mythtv-0.18.2.tar.bz2


The file mythtv-0.18.2.tar.bz2 doesn't exist.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

I got this to work just fine on R5A26 a few weeks ago. Try this.

Code:
ls /usr/src/mythtv/source | grep *.gz


or

Code:
 ls /usr/src/mythtv/source | grep *.bz2


It's possible you simply missed the exact filename.

Neither command returns anything... and I googled for the file names too, it returns one hit, back to these forums.

Hmm, I thought everyone had the mythtv source installed in that location by default. It's possible it's missing on your install for whatever reason. Paste a listing of your /usr/src/mythtv/source folder in here.

Thanks for the reply afrosheen,

It's in there now, I finally figured out it was referring to the latest mythtv source file, so I dl'd it from from mythtv.org and stuck it in there....

So I've moved past that and now I'm struggling with this,

on the plus side, I am learning quite a bit along the way, hopefully some of it sticks.
