Hello, first post long time reader,
My system is not all that fancy. I had r5d1 working with little troubles, except when I tried to install myth V.20 so I could get the auto comerical removal working, my system is an AMD 64 x2 (dual core) 3800+ on an Abit NF-M2 nView (nvidia chipset), 1gb ram, pvr500 and a M$ Usb remote (ehome), no serial ports on board so I can't use irblaster.sh or my home made serial rec/tras . again not cutting edge. I have about a week in total time invested in reading and installing R5D1 from fresh to the upgrade R5E50 along with tjc's info page, multiple times, also install R5E50 fresh many times. I give up. I am not a nuub to lunix but I don't know it intamitly like many on here. I can follow instructions when they are in a logical order. some posts on here are very incohearent but I have been able to make them work up till now. My issues are as follows:
1. remote don't work. copied files from backup and renamed others just like in tjc post http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13108&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=, no dice, ignoring the remote, I am waiting on a USB IR Transceiver from http://iguanaworks.net/ir/usb/... ordered on jan 9th and still havn't got it.
2. I can use the keyboard for other testing, the pvr500 plays tv but it jumps, pauses and shows the green screen. I have tried diff capture sizes (ie 720x480,320x240...) but all do the same thing, timer recordings don't work. database shows them there but no file.
3. I tried doing a re-install of lirc and have downloaded the sources and jumped through all the hoops in http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13404&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc also as noted I get the same errors.
4. I downloaded a new kernel (linux-2.6.19) from http://www.kernel.org/ and done the usual links and other fun stuff. also to no avail.
Code:
root@mythtv-amd:/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep

Same errors as with the kernel-source-2.6.18-chw-13.
I am confused about the kernel, I have compiled many in my travels, but this one eludes me.
if i could make a request?, a list of all the scripts and log file locations would be nice. I would like to get to know this animal better.
again this is my first post, I hope the format is correct.
ps... as I was writing this I got a package from ups, my plextor convertx (px-m402u). I will remove the pvr500 and see if I can get this working..
Kudos to the mythtv group and Cecil for all the hard work,
I know as with all things in life YMMV.
