I need some help troubleshooting my LiveTV setup.<br>
<br>
When I run LiveTV the screen flashes for a second and stays at the main
menu in MythTV and the following messages get printed to the console:<br>
<br>
<tt>2009-03-10 18:28:01.065 Using protocol version 40<br>

<br>
I've googled the error and so far 2 solutions have been suggested, both of which i have tired with no success.<br>
<br>
1. Make sure the recording directory is writable.<br>
I have set up my Storage directories for Default, LiveTV and DB Backups
groups to point to /mnt/recordings/default, /mnt/recordings/live and
/mnt/recordings/backup which have 777 permissions.<br>
<tt><br>
:~$ ls -l /mnt/recordings/<br>
total 4<br>
drwxrwxrwx 2 mythtv mythbox 6 2009-03-10 18:45 backup<br>
drwxrwxrwx 2 mythtv mythbox 6 2009-03-10 18:45 default<br>
drwxrwxrwx 2 mythtv mythbox 6 2009-03-10 18:45 live<br>
drwxrwxr-x 27 mythtv lpadmin 4096 2008-07-20 10:20 music<br>
drwxrwxr-x 2 mythtv mythbox 39 2009-01-18 19:59 pictures<br>
<br>
</tt>2. Set up channel information<br>
I've set up the tv_grab_nz-py grabber and set the channel numbers of each channel. MythWeb shows fully populated listing data.<br>
<br>
<br>
System:<br>
Core 2 Duo<br>
Nova-T 500<br>
NVIDIA 8600 gt<br><br><br>
I'm using the Jean-Yves VDPAU patches, but I don't think it is related to that as I haven't had this working for a long time.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions on what to try next? Could I have messed up one of the
two solutions i've already tried? Do you need more info? Help??! <br><br>Cheers,<br>Jesse<br>
