I have this issue with both my mac frontend and my frontend on the backend server. The machine was working great since a lot of time and i don't have change anything special. It's a R5F27 version.

On my PC laptop i use mythtv player and this one is working without promblem. I'm really srew up with this problem.

Maybe there is something with the databse.

This is the error message when i start the mythtv from the command line:

Some things to check:

What is the date/time on your KM system?
Do you have program listings?
Did you change your Video sources and/or Input connections in MythTV? (double-check that they are as you expect)
What do your logs indicate regarding the latest mythfilldatabase?

Hi slowtolearn

The date time is ok.
The program listing is ok i'm using a broadcasted guide data.
I tried to remove capture card, data source, an input connection yesterday without success.
No error on mythfilldatabase.

Do you want some logs?

Thanks for trying to figured out.
Bob

A quick Google for GetEntryAt(-1) failed. turns up many, many hits, perhaps this one has the solution? http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/m ... ers/194241 (Points to various things - start channel incorrect, bad/no guide data, inputs incorrect, etc.)

Hi,

I read the link you specified carefully and i tried different solution. Still no go.

After i have a look the log and see an uncommon error. So i made a repair database as explained in the knoppmythwiki and my system is back in business.

Thanks for your help slowtolearn
Bob :D
