Hi, nuvinfo seems to work ok: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /TVstorage $ nuvinfo 1053_20050423160000_20050423163000.nuv
info for: 1053_20050423160000_20050423163000.nuv aspect: 1.3333 audio_bits_per_sample: 384000 audio_channels: 2 audio_sample_rate: 48000 Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/nuvinfo line 23. audio_type: fps: 29.970 height: 480 is_mpeg: 1 mpeg_stream_type: ps video_type: MPEG2 width: 480 done [EMAIL PROTECTED] /TVstorage $ That looks reasonable. However nuvexport always clears the terminal, gives me this message and immediately exits: Loading MythTV recording info. 100% Found 2 files, but no matching database entries. [EMAIL PROTECTED] /TVstorage $ Is it not running correctly? The other straing thing I'm finding is the /dev/v4l permissions keep changing to whoever ran mythfrontend last. Shoudl it do that? I could not record last night from my account. The log file said permissions to /dev/v4l/video0 were wrong. I tried changing them by hand to root:video. I was then able to record this morning. I just tried to set a recording for 3:30PM in my wife's account. I got another permissions message in thelog: 2005-04-24 15:30:02.707 Started recording "Ed, Edd 'n Eddy" on channel: 1054 on cardid: 1, sourceid 1 2005-04-24 15:30:02.709 Channel(/dev/v4l/video0)::Open(): Can't open video device, error "Permission denied" 2005-04-24 15:30:02.734 ChannelBase: Could not find input: Composite 0 on card when setting channel 54 2005-04-24 15:30:02.823 Changing from None to RecordingOnly 2005-04-24 15:30:02.848 Using profile 'Default' to record 2005-04-24 15:30:02.859 Channel(/dev/v4l/video0)::Open(): Can't open video device, error "Permission denied" 2005-04-24 15:30:02.867 Tuning Error -- aborting recording 2005-04-24 15:30:02.875 TVRec: Recording Prematurely Stopped 2005-04-24 15:30:33.369 JobQueue currently set at 1 job(s) max and to run new jobs from 00:00 to 23:59 2005-04-24 15:30:33.371 JobQueue::GetJobsInQueue: findJobs search bitmask 4, found 3 total jobs 2005-04-24 15:30:33.394 JobQueue::GetJobsInQueue: Ignore 'Flag Commercials' Job for 1009 @ 20050423120800 in Errored state. I look at the permissions again and they've changed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /TVstorage $ ls -la /dev/v4l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 140 Apr 24 06:28 . drwxrwxrwt 23 root root 32560 Apr 24 06:28 .. crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 64 Apr 24 06:28 radio0 crw------- 1 evelyn sys 81, 224 Apr 24 06:28 vbi0 crw------- 1 evelyn sys 81, 0 Apr 24 06:28 video0 crw------- 1 evelyn sys 81, 24 Apr 24 06:28 video24 crw------- 1 evelyn sys 81, 32 Apr 24 06:28 video32 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /TVstorage $ I clearly don't understand this yet! To get around the X-Video issue I've set up MythTV on my laptop. However when I run mythtv-setup I get messages that it cannot conenct to the datbase server: 2005-04-24 15:31:02.788 Unable to connect to database! 2005-04-24 15:31:02.788 Driver error was [1/2003]: QMYSQL3: Unable to connect Database error was: Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.10.55' (111) 2005-04-24 15:31:02.788 Failed to init MythContext, exiting.
