.21 PVR 350 program guide

I use a PVR-350's tv out. Ever since I upgraded to .21, when watching live
tv, the guide won't come up. The guide's data is fine, it looks fine on a
different front end (not through a 350), looks fine in mythweb, looks fine
if i just go to the program guide through the menu. But if I try and bring
up the guide while watching live tv, nothing happens, though sometimes I see
a flicker of the guide for a second before it disappears, sometimes I see
nothing.

Anyone having any better luck with this setup? I've looked at all the logs
and can't see anything real interesting.

You're not going to get OpenGL to work with a PVR-350's TV output,
have you set up for the alternative painter?

I've shut off OpenGL wherever I've seen it in the options, but I'm not sure
I know every little place it hides. I've never heard the term alternative
painter, so I don't think I've ever done such a thing, where do you do that?

I thought the OpenGL was in the menus and stuff. The menus are working
fine. The video is playing fine too. Just when I hit guide, I see it for a
brief second, and then it disappears...

Thanks

I noticed in my mythfrontend.log it said I was using the Qt painter.

It also had a whole bunch of

cannot load glyph:fa
cannot load glyph:fb
cannot load glyph:fc
cannot load glyph:fd
cannot load glyph:fe
cannot load glyph:ff
cannot load glyph:4d
cannot load glyph:20
cannot load glyph:4d
cannot load glyph:4d

errors like that at the end.

I've got the same bug; I compiled mythtv-0.21-fixes (SVN rev 16752)
with no opengl support, so it's definitely using the Qt painter. When
I try to bring up the guide in live tv, my front end spits out the
above error messages, then crashes:

kernel: mythfrontend[4181]: segfault at 09582000 eip b7a64a50 esp bfca8440 error 6

I don't see any other error messages in the system logs (e.g., complaints
from ivtv).

I've installed the latest Debian package for the xserver:
xserver-xorg-video-ivtv 1.0.0~svn4049-3

and am using ivtv 1.1.0, the one built into kernel 2.6.24.3

There's a bug report for it filed, http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/4964
So far though it hasn't been acknowledged.

Did you all try changing your OSD themes? A good one to try would be to
blueosd or Retro-OSD.

Try the attached patch & see if it works. It appears a flag is set
incorrectly. Previously the EPG worked regardless, but now the EPG remains
hidden. This patch simply toggles the flag, allowing the EPG to be seen.

This patch worked for me. I have a PVR-350, and had it crashing before.
After the patch, it seems to work much better. If I have any problems
I'll report back.

Yes, it works for me. The guide comes up fine, and no crashes or
warnings about missing glyphs in my mythfrontend.log.

Thanks,

Ian attached the patch to the ticket, and now I guess we wait for the
developers to put it into 0.21-fixes. Should I cross post this to the
-dev list?
