All,
My setup:
XBMCbuntu: XBMC 13.0 Git:0d1d80s (Compiled: May 4 2014)
TVHeadEnd: 3.4.28~geb79aee~trusty
I have an ATI HDTV Wonder installed, and have found and installed the proper firmware for the card. Ubuntu detects and initializes the card. TVHeadEnd does a channel scan, and while it doesn't find every channel that AntennaWeb says is in my area, it does find some, enough for testing purposes. Using VLC with the TVHeadEnd plugin, I can tune to the channels, and get perfect picture and sound. However, on the XBMC machine, two issues appear:
1. No picture
Just as it says. There's an empty box on the screen where the picture is supposed to be, but no picture appears. I surmise this might be related to lack of drivers or codecs for MPEG2, but I'm not sure. Any ideas on cause/resolution?
2. Sound quits.
When I tune a channel, I do get sound for that channel, despite the lack of picture. However, the sound cuts off after 8-10 seconds. If I tune to another channel, the same thing happens. No picture, but I do get 8-10 seconds of sound before it stops.
Again, since VLC on my desktop and laptop both work without issue, then this is definitely an XBMC issue. I'm not expert enough on Linux to be able to diagnose this myself, so I'd really appreciate anyone's input or advice.
