I tried it and it worked. Remove the plugins like you said. I'm just running the script again.
But before I ran the scripted I tested out the frontend and it loaded fine.

I'll let you know when the script downloads/compiles and installs again.

Thanks......

Ok... After I had the frontend loading. I ran your script. After the script ran, I had the same problem where the themes would not build and the frontend crashed.

I just ran this command. It failed, but the themes did rebuild and the frontend does load.

What do you mean the themes are not building?

Try "apt-get remove mythstream" and see if the frontend loads. Because ed's log showed "Unable to initialize plugin 'mythstream'." just before it crashed.

Been fighting through this some more...
From a clean install.
Run script. After SVN Myth installs, but before mythplugins installs, it works. After mythplugins installs, it stops working.
Then I did

apt-get update
dpkg -r mythplugins mythburn-ui
rm -fr /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb
dpkg -i mythplugins_0.20a-1_i386.deb

That gets me to a working frontend with most things working. Looks like mythweb is not working... I get:
Incompatible protocol version (mythweb=30, backend=31)

I am certain this IS NOT the right way to do things, but it looks like the SVN mythplugins part of mythsvn.sh still needs some tweaking for those of us coming off clean installs.

Had the same issue with the front end not starting after running the script. Seemed to be an issue with mythphone. I don't use mythphone so I went in to /usr/lib/mythtv/plugins and renamed libmythphone.so to something else (libmythphone.so.noload) and the front end started right up.

<edit>
I used the script btw.

Is there some magical way to get --enable-firewire working with SVN 12231. Or any of them?

./configure doesn't want to play nice. I am sure It is something I am doing wrong. But, I have tried everything I can think of and it keeps telling me:

# Input Support
Joystick menu yes
lirc support yes
Apple Remote no
Video4Linux sup. yes
ivtv support yes
FireWire support no
DVB support yes [/usr/include]

I tried compiling raw1394/libiec61883. Reinstalling via apt. You name it.
Anyone ever jumped this hurdle? I tried rolling back and now I have a 32/30 protocol mismatch. (I should have just left it alone).

hey mahi.
First of all, did you have to do what overtorqued had to do in the previous post about renaming mythphone? and did you read this? http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=FirewireCapture
Also, I am assuming you have a Firewire port and it's working with knoppmyth.

Second, in the mythtv documentation it says:
So I'm assuming that the DCT6200 and SA3250 are the only boxes that are supported.
This could however just be for mythtv .20 and not include additional support that is currently in .21.

If you believe it is suppose to work, then usually in order to compile support for something you need the source headers. Try looking for firewire source packages. --enable-firewire will not work because it is enabled in ./configure by default.

This is all I know about firewire support in mythtv so your on your own from here unless someone else knows what to do.

Thanks alot watto.

It did work from .19 -> .20fixes (the 11xxx) svn. I used your script before and it worked extremely well. Now, I cant seem to get Firewire support to compile. It keeps telliing me "not enabled". In fact if I let it finish, it tells me that the firewire connection I have is not supported. (motorola 3412. which is a spinoff of the 6200).

As far as the phone stuff, I did that a while back when I couldn't get the frontend to start.

Thanks, at least you confirmed that there may be something I can do. I going to keep trying.

Did you do a reinstall of knoppmyth since it worked? try unplugging it from the firewire and plugging it back in and check the "dmesg" command to see if it shows up at the bottom.

These are the modules. Is there something I can add or change to config.h/config.mak?

sigh...


got it..

I had libavc version .4xx (seems to be the default)
in mythtv's make file it wants .5xx

Compiled it from here:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/liba/libavc1394/

It works like a charm. Thanks Watoo, you inspired me to keep looking.
Hope this helps someone else in the future.

Nice script. It saves me the trouble of having to sit and do it manually. Minus my own problems, it is is a time saver..


Cheers!

YAY! Good job! Hope you have fun with it!

Has anyone tried this script on R5E50? Does it work?
