Hi, Just a short status report on the MythTV port. System: an amd64 machine running root@kg-quiet# uname -a FreeBSD kg-quiet.kg4.no 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #10: Wed Oct 11 19:49:47 CEST 2006 root@kg-quiet.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/QUIET amd64 with a Hauppauge PVR-350 card in it, using the pvr250 driver (multimedia/pvr250). mythtv-setup runs, but immediately display the warning about the backend running. In this case, the backend is NOT running, but I don't know if this affects anything. I get one error message in the shell (from where I start mythtv-setup) which might be related: ps: Process environment requires procfs(5) When I get to the second screen in mythtv-setup ("2. Capture Cards"), I set up my card as a "MPEG-2 encoder card (PVR-x50, PVR-500)", and use /dev/cxm0 as video device. It says "Probed info: failed to probe", but I carry on and select "Television" as default input. On screen 3 ("3. Video Sources") I st up one source, called TV, which uses tv_grab_no. So far, no problems. Screen 4 ("4. Input Connections") is blank (as in "no lines of information") and I get these error messages in the shell: Could not query inputs. eno: Inappropriate ioctl for device (25) Perhaps the driver I'm using isn't up to the task? I tried setting the card up as an analog card also, but that didn't work either. Also, when I start mythbackend I get this in the logfile: root@kg-quiet# less /var/log/mythbackend.log 2006-12-24 22:57:58.577 Using runtime prefix = /usr/local 2006-12-24 22:57:58.601 New DB connection, total: 1 2006-12-24 22:57:58.613 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2006-12-24 22:57:58.619 Current Schema Version: 1158 Starting up as the master server. 2006-12-24 22:57:58.633 New DB connection, total: 2 2006-12-24 22:57:58.634 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2006-12-24 22:57:58.638 EITHelper: localtime offset 1:00:00 2006-12-24 22:57:58.659 TVRec(2) Error: Problem finding starting channel, setting to default of '3'. 2006-12-24 22:57:58.661 ChannelBase(2) Error: InitializeInputs(): Could not get inputs for the capturecard.
