Try this:

- edit settings.pro in the toplevel sourcedir. comment out the 2nd line,
uncomment the first.
- cd setup/
- make clean; make
- gdb ./setup
- at the prompt type 'run'
- when it dies, type 'bt'

What processor are you trying to run myth on?
I'm guessing a k6-2 or k6-3.
If so you will have to edit the settings.pro file in the top level directory
and change

-march=pentiumpro to
-march=pentium

Currently I think it's set to pentiumpro(a pII).

Calvin...

I am running a VIA C3 processor.

Yeah, so try what Calvin suggested and remove some of the optimizations from
settings.pro.. Should fix it.

Isaac

The advice still applies...

Changing this worked
-march=pentiumpro to -march=pentium

But I am getting another error. I run the mythtv from the command line and
it flashes a black screen and I get the following:

Probed: Television
Probed: Composite1
Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
Couldn't find the proper Xv image format
strange error flushing buffer ...

Also where can I go to change it from composite1 to the cable in on the
card.

Thanks,

Joe

What capture card are you using, what video card? It seems like a
proper/common color format is not being found.

Your video card doesn't have a yuv420p overlay. This is needed for displaying
the video. What's the output when you run xvinfo?

I am using a ATI TV Wounder LE TV Card and the Video card is built into my
mini-itx Via Monther board, the manual states its a Trident Blade 3d
Graphics .

I can see the TV using xawtv, but I get this error with MythTV.

Thanks for your help. I love the software.

Yup. Your video card doesn't support the video colorspace that mythtv uses.
You can either:

- Add some colorspace conversion routines to mythtv, so that it can do some
of the work in software if the hardware is lacking, instead of depending
entirely on the hardware to convert colorspaces. Your card does support a
closely related format to what mythtv uses, so this would be fairly simple to
accomplish.
- Use a different video card.

Isaac

Where in the program would I need to go to change the colorspace. I only
have one pci slot in this system and it is being used by the ATI TV Card.

Thanks,

Joe

Actually, nevermind 'bout that -- I did it myself. Just grab a new CVS
checkout, and see if that works for you.. It's not optimal or anything, but
it should at least show video now.

Isaac

Thank you very much, I will grap it tonight and give it a try.

I am getting a similar strange problem where I get sound but no video.

The output message I receive is:

Probed: /dev/video - Television
Probed: /dev/video - Composite1
Probed: /dev/video - S-Video
Probed: /dev/video - Composite3
Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
audio volume set to '32768'
strange error flushing buffer ...

Very bizarre. Also when I run xvinfo:
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present

I am running debian unstable with a Diamond V770 video card and
hauppauge tuner, and xawtv works
great. I've tried running xf86cfg, which doesn't even detect my mouse,
and I don't seem to have a dev/mouse,
but my mouse works fine.

Any help is truely appreciated.

Kinda need a video card with working Xv support for this all to work.
