Hi all.
I've had some bad luck with Myth recently. Yesterday I was attempting
to improve picture quality for LiveTV, so I adjusted some of the
quality settings in the MPEG4 controls in the setup screens. That
seemed to work well. But then I decided to try to adjust contrast and
brightness. Boy was that a mistake! I hit 'k' to decrease
brightness, and it all of the sudden dropped to 0% and I could barely
see anything on the screen. Hitting 'K' failed to increase
brightness. The same thing happened with the contrast keys, so by the
time I was done trying to "improve" things, it was a completely black
screen with no way to get it back! And since I use Composite input, I
couldn't find any contrast/brightness settings for it anywhere in the
DB. I found that each channel has an entry, but where is the
composite in setting found? I had to wipe my DB and reinstall from
scratch to get it back to normal.
And that's where I'm having an issues now. I set Composite1 as the
default input, and when I go to "Watch TV" it works fine. But when a
recording is scheduled to record, it starts recording off of the
Television input! That's not hooked up, so I get the green
screen/static. Then when I go back to "Watch TV" after a recording
has tried to start (and I stop it), the input is set to Television, so
I have to hit "C" to get it back to Composite1. So even though I have
Composite1 chosen as the default input, why does the recording now
insist on trying to record off of the Television input? Where can I
set that? I have never seen this problem before. I just grabbed the
latest CVS last night and am having this issue.
Any tips would be fantastic, as I can't record anything right now, and
my Myth box is kinda pointless without that feature ;). And yes, it
used to work perfectly until last night, and I did a 'make distclean'
before compiling and completely removed and reinstalled the
mythconverg database.
Thanks!
-Mike
