I tried typing "C" (per keys.txt to change inputs) and have lost video as a
result - the video is all black. Typing C again brings up the popup "Composite
0" and I can see the popups when I change channels. Video card is a PVR-250.
I've tried stopping and restarting mythbackend and restarting Linux as well as
reconfiguring (using setup) from scratch. None of this helps. mplayer also
can't play files I save using "cat /dev/video0 > sample.mpg".
When I turn off power and then power on and boot, I can capture and play video
with mplayer. Once I start MythTV I have the same black video display (except
for popups). I shut down the backend. Files that I now save with cat
/dev/video0 play back black in mplayer.
I don't see any error messages in the mythbackend or mythfrontend terminal
windows.
Any suggestions as to what I should try? Is there debug output I can capture
that will help?
Thanks,
Vince
PS: I know typing "C" was dumb since I don't have any other video inputs, but I
am having sound sync problems and was just trying things to see what they did -
hoping I would stumble across a solution to the sound sync problem (couldn't
find a solution in the user's archive.)
