| Post subject: | Live Recording Works/Timed Recording does not |
Hi All, I've just done my first Myth 0.20 install on a system that has Haupauge PVR 350. I have an S-Video output from a Motorolla Set Top Box going to the s-video input on the PVR350. Recording and playback, live pause, and other live features seem to be working great. I can even take the .mpg file, copy it over to another system and play it - it all works great. I'm using S-video input to the PVR 350 - because otherwise I cannot record some of the "encrypted" channels - the TV tuner cannot tune above like 98 or something. I have set up a "channel 3" which is just the s-video input and it works in "Watch TV" mode. However, if I create a "Manual" schdeule then the time comes, the status says "recording" under "manage recordings" - however, nothing gets written. Also, if I use MythWeb to check the "Backend Status" the encoder says that it is not in use. Can anyone give me some trouble-shooting suggestions? I am comfortable working at the command level in unix - are there logs I could check to see what is happening? Thanks, Kevin |

is ther a way to change settings remotely using only ssh? editing config file or maybe even a curses style config utility. I have not gotten vnc to work on this box just yet. |

I had this exact same problem. What was happening was the irblaster (or my friends wife) was turning off the cable box before a recording. What I ended up doing was using the motorola serial port for changing channels(because it's better than the irblaster), and adding the no power command to the script. Good Luck

Also for VNC - apt-get install tightvncserver. Whenever you need a VNC then just type vncserver in ssh to start the server. |
