Well since I finally got my hands on a tuner card, I decided to have a go at Mythtv. I will be running this on 2 different PCs, with the Mythtv backend being on the PC with the tuner card and XBMC being the PC connected to my TV, and connected to each other over my network of course.
So when I finally managed to install the backend after some database troubles, I went through mythtv-setup where I set up the card, scanned for channels, set directories, the works.
I connect XBMC to the backend, and I get a list of channels, but when I select any of the channels, nothing happens. I made a recording through the mythweb interface, and it shows up in the recordings list, but I can't play it. So I've been searching the internet high and low all afternoon and night but now I have given up on google and hope to find my answer here
A number of things I have already checked and confirmed as working/correct:
- I can log into the database from the PC running XBMC just fine
- The master user is part of the mythtv group
- The recording directory is owned by user mythtv and group mythtv
And here are some parts of the logs of both Mythtv and XBMC I think might be relevant. "media" in the logs below is the PC running XBMC with I.P 192.168.0.105 (I have already added it to both the regular hosts file and the advancedsettings.xml file on the XBMC machine).
Mythtv, first time after a backend restart:
Mythtv, second time selecting a video after restart (mythweb says the status of the backend is watching live TV of the correct channel at this point).
XBMC Log:
So is there anything I may have overlooked?
Much thanks in advance.
