| Post subject: | PVR 150, Black Screen and Lockup with Live TV |
Hey, everyone. I had to packup my MythTV box for a long while for my move and I've just now gotten around to sertting it back up. But, I'm running into a problem: When I go to Live TV, I get a black screen and the computer locks up. I can't exit, and I can't bring up the console using Ctrl-Alt-F1. Only thing I can do at that point is putty in and reboot it. I don't know what's causing the issue. I had it working before. However, I did just change the XF86 file back from the Nvidia sample to the original because I wanted to get it working again on a monitor rather than a tv. When I plugged it into my monitor before the file change, it brought everything up on screen in green, and I definately had snow in LiveTV without a cable connection in the computer. Then, I puttied into it with my laptop, switched the files, and rebooted. Now, everything is working perfectly on the monitor, but I'm getting this lockup with Live TV. I'm using a PVR 150. And, I have no idea if this has anything to do with it, but I was searching the forums and tried running mythbackend and this is what I got: root@chronos:/lib/modules/2.6.11.9-chw-2# mythbackend 2005-11-18 14:54:49.591 New DB connection, total: 1 Starting up as the master server. 2005-11-18 14:54:49.648 New DB connection, total: 2 2005-11-18 14:54:49.655 New DB connection, total: 3 2005-11-18 14:54:49.992 New DB scheduler connection 2005-11-18 14:54:49.997 mythbackend version: 0.18.1.20050510-1 www.mythtv.org 2005-11-18 14:54:49.997 Enabled verbose msgs : important general QServerSocket: failed to bind or listen to the socket Failed to bind port: 6543 Thanks in advance! |

Which drivers are you using for PVT150? I got my settings from http://www.cs.duke.edu/~reynolds/pvr150/ I have the exact problem. I can get the 'mplayer /dev/video0' showing my some stuff in the window manager, but for some reason mythtv doesn't let me do that. My specs are ASUS GEforce 5200 based PCI card using DVI output to Sony Grand Wega with a cooked up XF86Config-4 file PVR 150 MCE I am still using x11 extension in mplayer. My concern was that I still couldn't install the nvidia drivers. But where are the kernel-sources anyway? I couldn't find them |

What version are you running? In the newest R5A?? stuff the kernel tarball is automatically unpacked for you. If you still haven't gotten this working why don't you move forward to the latest? It should take care of this completely automatically. |

I got the latest image. I think it is R16. But the kernel-sources in usr/src was not available. I had a 0 byte .bz2 file for the kernel-sources. So I downloaded myself and tweaked it a bit to get nvidia running. But it still doesn't show anything on my TV and mythtbbackend log files show: Quote: root@shuttle:/var/log/mythtv# netstat -a | grep 6543 tcp 0 0 *:6543 *:* LISTEN root@shuttle:/var/log/mythtv# netstat -a | grep 6544 tcp 0 0 *:6544 *:* LISTEN root@shuttle:/var/log/mythtv# ~2005-11-22 02:49:20.164 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-11-22 02:49:20.164 adding: shuttle as a client (events: 0) 2005-11-22 02:49:20.181 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-11-22 02:49:20.181 adding: shuttle as a client (events: 1) 2005-11-22 02:49:20.192 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-11-22 02:49:20.192 adding: shuttle as a client (events: 0) 2005-11-22 02:49:20.208 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2005-11-22 02:49:20.208 adding: shuttle as a client (events: 0) 2005-11-22 02:49:20.215 adding: shuttle as a remote ringbuffer 2005-11-22 02:49:20.228 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2005-11-22 02:49:20.339 NVR: Won't work with the streaming interface, falling back VIDOCGMBUF:: Invalid argument 2005-11-22 02:49:20.342 TVRec: Recording Prematurely Stopped 2005-11-22 02:49:21.694 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback mythfronend show Quote: 1-22 02:48:30.929 Registering MythDVD VCD Media Handler as a media handler

R5A26 is the latest as of the 16-Nov-2005. Please see Cecil's recent announcement. It takes care of setting up the NVidia drivers without manual intervention, although you may still have to edit your XF86Config-4 file for optimal results. |
