no playback

Hello.
I've searched the archives for the past week or so and google'd quite
a bit...still no answer. Postin here as a last resort.

The Setup:
P4 2.8
1GB RAM
40B HD
ATI TV-Wonder VE (I think...it only has a mono output)
Fedora Core 2
MythTV Suite from APT-Package

The Issue (#1):
Installed all the packages, ran and setup mythtv.
It connects to the net to pull the guide info. It records.
It does not, however, playback any video or live tv w/in mythtv. I
can play recorded videos by going to the terminal and manually telling
mplayer to play (i.e. mplayer video.nuv). When I attempt to play a
video w/in the myth front end, all I get is a blank screen and I must
ESC out.
Has anyone encountered this issue? If so, were you able to resolve it
and how? :)

The Issue (#2):
As in #1, I can play back recorded video clips through terminal. When
I do play back the videos, the quality is attrocious. It is very
noisy black and white. The cable from my wall jack is being directly
plugged into the computer. I've tried this at different houses even
to ensure the problem was consistant.
Any info on this one?

Thanks for all the help!

If you're using a TV Wonder VE, then you're using software encoding,
right? Mplayer hasn't been able to play software-encoded Myth .nuv
files for several versions now, IIRC, which is probably why it looks
garbled. So you really can't judge the quality of the recordings until
you can play them back inside Myth itself.

As for your first problem, are there any messages on the terminal that
you ran mythfrontend from? If you're auto-starting mythfrontend, try
logging in normallly instead, run mythfrontend from an xterm and see
what kinds of messages get written to the terminal. That will give us
a place to start, at least.

Re: no playback [In reply to]

JAC-
Thanks for the reply.
I do have some messages coming at me from the frontend.
When I first start mythfrontend, I get the following:

mythtv: could not connect to socket
mythtv: No such file or directory
lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages

and when I switch to live tv, I get:

Watching Live TV
2004-08-02 19:00:58 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
X Error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) 11
Major opcode: 141
Minor opcode: 19
Resource id: 0x2a0000

I'm not sure what they mean. I've looked for a mythtv.conf but was
unable to figure out where the init info is stored. Not sure what the
2nd error mean either... "insufficient resources"??

Thanks,

Nick

These are LIRC errors. I'm guessing you haven't set up LIRC on this
machine? You can safely ignore them for now; it just means you can't
use an IR remote control until you get LIRC properly set up.

Well, I don't know what this error indicates, specifically, but I'd
guess that at least one of your problems is video output. What's your
video setup like? (video card, driver/version, VGA or TV-out, XFree86
or X.org ?)

Also, just to check, try playing something (any video media you have on
hand; a DVD would work) with mplayer using the following command:

mplayer -vo xv -fs <filename>

This will make sure that mplayer tries to use the same video output
method that MythTV uses (Xvideo), so at least you'll be comparing
apples & apples, so to speak.

You could also try running mythfrontend with the following command:

env NO_XV=1 mythfrontend

If your playback works using this method, then the problem might lie in
your video card/driver's Xv support. Unfortunately, running this way
will probably peg your CPU, so it's not a useful long-term solution,
but it might help narrow down the problem.

There is no "mythtv.conf". Myth gets most of its configuration data
from a MySQL database. There is a single file, <prefix>/share/mythtv/
mysql.txt (or ${HOME}/.mythtv/mysql.txt) that tells Myth where to find
the database when it starts up.

Re: no playback [In reply to]

JAC-
Thanks for the info!
When I start the frontend w/ the command you provided, I do get to see
the video and playback recorded vids. within the frontend! Pretty
exciting! I think that means that my video card is a piece of crap,
right? It was free, so I don't mind parting with it for something
better (with hardware acceleration).
When I run a video w/ the mplayer -vo xv -fs <filename> command, I get
this error:
X11 Error BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Mplayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.

Not sure what it means. I have never set up drivers for my video
card. I don't know how to do this. I've looked for a driver but have
not found one that sounds similar to the TV Wonder VE.

Thanks again for the help! I think we're getting to the source!

Re: no playback [In reply to]

Are you using an XORG distribution of X11? If so, you may be running
into the following problem:

http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=474

If so, the only fix I've found was to switch to an XFREE86 distro of
X11. The problem occurred for me with both an ATI Mach 64 and an INTEL
815 chipset.

Re: no playback [In reply to]

Michael,
I am using FC2...that means I have XORG, right?

Re: no playback [In reply to]

Yep. FC2 is where I ran into the problem. Switched to FC1 (uses XFREE)
and the problem went away.

Yes, by default FC2 uses Xorg.

On my system /usr/X11R6/bin/X is a symlink to Xorg. 'X -version' will
probably give you the version of the X server you are running.

Re: no playback [In reply to]

Is there any way to use XFREE in FC2?
Does RH9 work in XFREE?
Thanks,
Nick

Re: no playback [In reply to]

There probably is a way to make FC2 use XFREE but I don't know for
sure. ALL versions of Redhat prior to FC2 (E.G. FC1, RH9, RH8, RH7,
etc) use XFREE. FC2 is the first Redhat distro to use XORG.

I'm going to install FC1 and then re-install mythtv. I hope this
makes things better!

Re: no playback [In reply to]

That's what I did and all the problems I was having magically went
away. Good luck. Let me know if it helps out.
