I have just installed KnoppMyth R5A12 and am having trouble getting it to read from the cdrom. When I enter the Menu:
Optical Disks>Import CD and press enter, the cdrom is not access and I am left with a blank background.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ken

Run the frontend from an xterm, do what it is your trying to do then <ALT><TAB> to the xterm. You should see some output and find out what the problem is.

Sorry, Im a real newbie. I had Myth running on the same computer for both frontend and backend. How do I run the frontend from an xterm?

Exit the frontend Right click on the desktop. XShells -> XTerm Type mythfrontend in xterm that pops up.

The message in Xterm reads:
Could not open cdrom_fd: No such device or address
metadata.o: You don't seem to have any tracks.

It might be related to this problem:
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3882
As described by tjc in that thread, as root, do:
Code: ls -al /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd /dev/hdc If you see something other than... Code: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 21 20:30 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 21 20:20 /dev/dvd -> /dev/hdc
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 May 7 2004 /dev/hdc (like incorrect group for /dev/hdc or /dev/cdrom pointing to /dev/scd0 instead), then (still as root) Code: rm /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd
chgrp cdrom /dev/hdc
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd

You'll also want to check where MythMusic expects to find your CD-ROM drive.
Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> Media Settings -> Music Setup -> General Settings
cd device should be /dev/cdrom.

You should check which drive your cdrom is attached to. If it is the primary slave then run the code from ceenvee703's post with /dev/hdb instead of /dev/hdc.

Thanks for all the help everyone.
I found out that my cdrom was secondary slave with no secondary master. Don't know why it was set that way, the pc was given to me and I've never opened it. I didn't change any code. I just popped open the case and set the cdrom to secondary master and all is well.
Again thanks for all the help. I'm sure this won't be my last post.

I've got exactly the same problem, even down to having the DVD drive configured to secondary slave rather than secondary master. I've swapped hte jumper and it's on secondary master now (bios agrees) and I've done the stuff above, but it still doesn't work...
