Hi.
I've installed a clean R4V5, but I need to sort out a number of major configuration problems before I can call my box "working":
1) No TV sound
2) Can't get UK TV listings
3) Won't play DVDs
I've only just started venturing into the marvellous realm of video/sound under Linux so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction? (and hopefully, I'm in the right forum for this post!)
anyway, here comes the details ...
---------------------------
1) No TV sound
I've got a C-Media AC97 sound chip (onboard Abit Sg-71)
TV card (from dmesg output):
saa7130[0]: found at 00:0a.0, rev: 1, irq: 7, latency: 32, mmio: 0xe2003000
saa7130[0]: subsystem: 5168:0138, board: LifeView FlyVIDEO2000 [card=3,autodetected]
saa7130[0]: board init: gpio is 38500
saa7130[0]: registered input device for IR
Sound is fine when playing mpeg files, but there's no sound when I watch TV.
However, it's OK if I run awtv and alsamixer from the console.
I'm using mic instead of lineIn as this gave me better volume in alsamixer.
Is it right to have "/dev/dsp" as the audio device in the Capture Card Setup?
2) Can't get UK TV listings:
I've got a Sky box, so I updated the tv_grab_uk_rt, following the instructions here:
http://knoppmythwiki.homelinux.org/inde ... SkyDigiBox
but
mythfilldatabase --graboptions " --days 14" gives:

3) Won't play DVDs
hda: ST340014A, ATA DISK drive
hdc: LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device %d -fs -zoom -vo x11
I've "chown root:cdrom /dev/scd0" as the device had the wrong group of "utmp".
But I think Knoppix isn't auto-mounting the DVD drive
because if I manually mount the drive as root from the command line,
Myth will play the opening sequence of the DVD but then immediately exits. Crying or Very sad
Any ideas?
Cheers
