MythGame problem?

Apr 20, 2003, 10:05 AM

Post #1 of 8 (2149 views)

I've been having some trouble with CVS mythgame, on the 'Select game to
play' menu I got the entry 'All Games' and nothing else, I've tried
pressing various keys but nothing does anything except 'e' which causes
a segmentation fault. After spending much time in the source code I
noticed that the command gContext->GetSetting("TreeLevels") was
returning the string "artist album title" which doesn't seem right at
all. I solved the problem by editing treeitem.cpp and changing the line:
QStringList fields = QStringList::split(" ",
gContext->GetSetting("TreeLevels"));
to
QStringList fields = QStringList::split(" ", "system gamename");
however this seems far from ideal.

Does anyone know what could be causing this behaviour? as no-one else
seems to be having a problem I assume I've done something wrong but
can't work out what so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tim

The tree levels are retrieved from the mythgame-settings.txt file. Are
they set properly in there?

Yep, that's why it's so strange, in mythgame-settings.txt the line reads
TreeLevels=system gamename. On the other hand in mythmusic-settings.txt
there is a line TreeLevels=artist album title which I suspect mythgame
is reading.

Hi!

I installed my Mythtv box yesterday from CVS, and I have the problem also.
Changing the treeitem.cpp doesn't help!

I forgot to mention I also changed a line in main.cpp from
QString paths = gContext->GetSetting("TreeLevels");
to
QString paths = "system gamename";

Possibly that'll help

Thanks,

That worked. But it is not the final solution ofcourse...

Anyway, I'm having loads of fun with my Mythbox!

Fantastic, but a final solution would be better!

Here's my setup
IWILL XP333-R motherboard with AMD 2000XP processor and 256MB RAM
Running Gentoo Linux including gcc 3.2.2, latest CVS versions of MythTV,
MythGame, MythVideo and MythMusic.

Anything look familiar?
