<pre wrap="">Sounds like you forgot to tie a video source (eg zap2it) to your
tuner. You do this in mythtv-setup with #4 Input Connections. Choose
your tuner from the list, then make sure that Video Source field has a
value set.

<pre wrap=""> Hi all,
Working on a fresh install of .20. Front/Backend communications work
great, mythbackend is working like a charm - ditto for
DVD transcoding. Having an issue with the tuner though (PVR-250). While
it's setup and I've got the channels fetching correctly,
whenever I schedule a recording, it never happens.
Via the web-ui, "Upcoming Recordings" is always empty. This is
regardless of whether I set up a manual record or if I choose
a program through the guide.
In the "Backend Status", nothing is queued. For testing purposes, I
deleted the PVR-250 and re-added it via mythtv-setup .
I noticed this increased the Encoder # to "Encoder 5". However, it still
didn't solve my problem.
At a bit of a whits end, the card definitely works (cat /dev/video0 >
/tmp/test.mpg) gives me a viewable file.
Help! :)
-Kris

<pre wrap="">I tossed everything and have recreated it. Double checked and made sure
that within #4 Input Connections
that the Tuner1 is pointed to PVR-250 (the name of my video source).
When watching Live TV, I can see the guide update as I change channels,
so I can only assume that the
relationship of Guide to Tuner works correctly.
After recreating, the Encoder # incremented to 6.
Toying around in the db, I could see everything I wanted to record
populated within mythconverg.record. I'm
guestimating this is the source of data when I click "Recording Schedules".
Regardless, I'm still up the creek without a paddle.

<pre wrap=""><!---->
What did you choose in #3 (Video sources) of mythtv-setup? The video
source is not your capture card (PVR 250) - it is the source of your
TV listings (e.g. zap2it). #4 of mythtv-setup connects your capture
card to the video source from #3. To actually complete #4, you need
to choose a tuner from the list in #4 (select with arrows, then hit
enter). In the dialog that is presented, there is a field labelled
Video Source (it is the 2nd field in that dialog, below one labelled
"Display Name (optional)". The video source needs to whatever you
chose in step #3.
Hopefully you did not label your video source in step #3 "PVR 250".
That would be down right confusing ;-)

Step #2: MPEG Input (PVR-250) - Tuner 1<br>
Step #3: Video Sources: zap2it<br>
Step #4: (Tuner 1) is set to zap2it<br>
Step #5: When choosing a scan, it does show the video source as
'zap2it' with the capture card as ' MPEG : /dev/video0 '<br>
( scanning then detects the channels (so it is talking to
/dev/video0), however it overwrites the zap2it guide :) )<br>
<br>
The relation is there. They just don't want to talk (even if I force a
record and don't base it on the program guide).<br>
<br>
Thanks again - <br>
