First I'd like to thank cesman for the response in my last post, work has kept me busy. (changed TV's)

Here's the situation, I've upgraded from R5A12 --> R5A15.1 --> R5A16 without any major issues (EXCELLENT WORK). Each time I've compiled mythfm with success. I'm using a WinTV 878 for the FM Tuner and it has worked great every time. That is until an upgrade to R5A22. Then all I got out of it was static. I used the command line radio program and still got static. I've tried several other options including some hints from other users posts. I finally downgraded back to R5A16 successfully.

The system was up for 9 days. Then on Sunday my wife finished watching her recorded show, I burned some audio cd's, we went out for a little while and came back to getting "permission denied" issues with all hardware devices. No clue what happened. I've checked all permissions and everything checks out. I even gave all permissions to mythtv and still get denied. I'd like to either upgrade or reinstall R5A22. Any light on these matters would be appreciated.

Thank You

First you'll need to make sure your card is working. The best way that I know of is to install radio, a console based radio package. So do this as root
$su
password
#apt-get install radio
Now if your hardware is working then it should work with mythfm.

I couldn't find the mythfm source so I did this.
Install alien, this will convert the rpm to a tar package, so
$su
password
#apt-get install alien
I was using KnoppMyth R5A16 and alien installed with no issues.
Now as the mythtv user download the source rpm
$cd /home/mythtv
$wget http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirror ... ac.src.rpm

Then you'll need to convert the rpm to a tar.bz2
$alien -t mythfm-20050518-2.mdk10.2.thac.src.rpm
That will give you a .tgz so then
$tar xvfz mythfm-20050518.tgz
this will create two files
mythfm.tar.bz2 & mythfm.spec
$tar xvfj mythfm.tar.bz2
now cd into mythfm
$cd mythfm

Then follow the install instructions within

You should then be set to go.
I'll help were I can if you run into any problems.
Good Luck

Hiya,

thanks for the help, downloaded the radio program, but doesn't seem to work.
I am trying to use an old Hauppage WinTV PCI card, which has an FM coaxial input, and I have put a mini tv aeriel in it. The card has worked fine previously for radio with Windoze.

I tried radio -s, no response, also just tried the radio command on its own, no response again

Any ideas ????

Contact me off list, if you would like....

Thanks in advance
