| Post subject: | tuning problems after hard reset |
hi, i am very impressed with the latest release of knoppmyth R5A16, which i recently upgraded to from A10 without losing too much sleep !! great work ! it has been running nicely for more than a month. hardware = asus pundit-r, cpu = celeron 2.0ghz, pvr350 (tuner=45 microtune), country = netherlands. installed knoppmyth r5a16 without changing anything apart from the modprobe ivtv needed. now the bad news: last weekend i had a mythtv crash while watching a recording, and the backend was recording, so i reset the box with the power button. it restarted again and i continued watching my recording where i left off. ... but my box can no longer record tv, i get black screen instead of the usual recordings. Any ideas where i can look to troubleshoot? any recommendations, the settings for ivtv are not altered, and the database is also still being filled every day. -> is a reinstall/recovery necessary, or perhaps just a reinstall of ivtv drivers. I have 140gb of recordings i would rather not lose. Or can running mythtv-setup help clear things up? thanks for any tips and/or pointers keep up the great work one happy knoppmyth user |

you may want to check your DB tables http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1043 |

thanks, i tried checking the DB tables, but can find any errors in the tables..... i did have some problems after the first reboot which i found in my syslog: Jul 17 17:21:16 pvr2 /etc/mysql/debian-start[3049]: WARNING: mysqlcheck has found corrupt tables Jul 17 17:21:16 pvr2 /etc/mysql/debian-start[3049]: mythconverg.credits Jul 17 17:21:16 pvr2 /etc/mysql/debian-start[3049]: warning : 1 client is using or hasn't closed the table properly -> and a few more like that, but those are no longer being reported, must have fixed itself by now ? the box has been rebooted about 10 times since then. -------------------- i have just tried resetting the video card settings via mythtv-setup, rebooted, and still no tv. i wonder if another option besides reinstalling (via backup of course) exists.? thanks again for any ideas |

What krusher meant was: You want/need to check your db for errors. |

i understood that, i checked the database, but no database errors seen, all ok according to mysql. tried rebulding database (force), still no luck. i have a feeling it is something else. hopefully not hardware think i will reinstall this weekend - i hope that will be sufficient to get my machine up and running again, there is not too much on tv this week anyway in the netherlands  - i will watch some backlog stuff first.
cheers |

hi all, thanks for all the tips. what helped me in the end was this tip: http://www.poptix.net/ivtv/current/msg00170.html don't know how or why, but ivtv drivers for my card are secan/pal, and for some reason it was set to secam after my crash, i now have this line in my /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv root@pvr2:~# more /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c alias char-major-81 ivtv alias char-major-81 bttv options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 options ivtv tda9887=0 install ivtv /sbin/modprobe tuner; /sbin/modprobe msp3400; /sbin/modprobe saa71 15; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv; /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb; /sbin/modpr obe lirc_i2c remove ivtv /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ivtv && /sbin/modprobe -r saa7115 && /sbin/modprobe -r msp3400 && /sbin/modprobe -r tuner && /sbin/modprobe -r i vtv-fb && /sbin/modprobe -r lirc_i2c -------------------- and all is fine watching tv again
