I did a clean install of 5E50 after I couldn't get the remote to work after an upgrade.
After doing all the tweaks I normally have to do to get things like mythweather and EPG grabber for Australia working. I thought I would try out Mytharchive.
Well it doesn't work for me - I can get one level down when I have selected Optical Disk/Archive files from the menu (i get to the 3 choices, archive files - export and import) but if I select the archive or export option after 3-4minutes knoppmyth crashes out to the desktop. I then have to restart knoppmyth as any further selection of the archive option from the Optical Disks menu crashes out to the desktop after 3-4 minutes without getting to the next menu choice.
I have left the tmp setting as default Code: /myth/tmp and changed the share location to Code: /usr/share/mythtv/mytharchive/ and set the DVD Drive to Code: /dev/cdrom
Knoppmyth installs the python extras required by mytharchive.
So far I have been unable to find anything to get me past the menu stage

Just wondering if you went though the options in the setup menus to set the paths?
I missed that part and had the same problem.

I guess this is the options you are referring to?:

If you set them from optical setup that would be correct
after a second look I believe you'll need a device set to:
/dev/dvd

I set the settings from the Archive Files Settings pages which is under Utilities/setup - Setup - Media settings - Archive File Settings, there are 4 pages of options.
Below is a copy of the settings in mythconverg which is almost identical to those of TJCs in this posting http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... burn+r5e50
Code: root@mythtv:/home/mythtv# mysql mythconverg -e "select * from settings where value like 'MythArchive%'" +-----------------------------------+--------------------------------+----------+ | value | data | hostname | +-----------------------------------+--------------------------------+----------+ | MythArchiveAlwaysUseMythTranscode | 1 | mythtv | | MythArchiveChapterMenuAR | 16:9 | mythtv | | MythArchiveCopyRemoteFiles | 0 | mythtv | | MythArchiveDateFormat | %a %b %d | mythtv | | MythArchiveDvdauthorCmd | dvdauthor | mythtv | | MythArchiveDVDLocation | /dev/dvd | mythtv | | MythArchiveEncodeToAc3 | 0 | mythtv | | MythArchiveFfmpegCmd | ffmpeg | mythtv | | MythArchiveFileFilter | *.mpg *.mov *.avi *.mpeg *.nuv | mythtv | | MythArchiveGrowisofsCmd | growisofs | mythtv | | MythArchiveMainMenuAR | 16:9 | mythtv | | MythArchiveMkisofsCmd | mkisofs | mythtv | | MythArchiveMpeg2encCmd | mpeg2enc | mythtv | | MythArchiveMplexCmd | mplex | mythtv | | MythArchivePng2yuvCmd | png2yuv | mythtv | | MythArchiveShareDir | /usr/share/mythtv/mytharchive/ | mythtv | | MythArchiveSpumuxCmd | spumux | mythtv | | MythArchiveTcrequantCmd | tcrequant | mythtv | | MythArchiveTempDir | /myth/tmp | mythtv | | MythArchiveTimeFormat | %I:%M %p | mythtv | | MythArchiveUseFIFO | 1 | mythtv | | MythArchiveVideoFormat | PAL | mythtv | +-----------------------------------+--------------------------------+----------+
I have checked and I definitely have a Code: root@mythtv:/myth/tmp#
and also a Code: root@mythtv:/usr/share/mythtv/mytharchive#
I don't see where I am going wrong.

I know this seems weird, but I had the exact same problem when I set the X display to be 1024x768. When I reduced it to 800x600, mytharchive worked.

Fixed - well sort of. I have had to change the Theme, I was using blootube-wide and I have changed to Tittivillus for the moment and now it works a least to the point where I can select files etc. I can't test it out as the family are watching tele now but I suspect it will work from here.
I cottoned on to this when I did a Code: locate mytharchive and saw a lot of files for Gant, Mythcentre and Compact in Code: /usr/share/mythtv/mytharchive/themes/.. but I could see nothing for blootube-wide nor some of the other Themes.
Thanks to those that tried to help but now...
Why does the Theme make a difference?

It could be a problem with the theme, a few releases back, I had problems with a couple of the OSD themes that would basically kill the frontend.
It would be interesting if someone has a test machine to see if they can recreate the problem.

There were changes in the theme.xml's between version .19 to .20 It could be that the blootube-wide theme was not updated correctly.
If you compare the themes/Titivillus/theme.xml to the themes/blootube-wide/theme.xml you might be able to fix the problem.

I'll have a look at the .xml files in a day or two. Thanks for the pointer.
