I was getting pretty frustrated.<br><br>I have setup all three frontend media plugis as specified, copied media to the directories and performed a scan where needed. The only one that even comes close to working are the pictures. I can see the pictures and I can open them, but none of the buttons like slideshow work. All after noon I've been trying to figure out a way to open mythconverg to see what exactly is stored there. Unfortuneately my SQL skills are really rusty.<br><br>I'm beginning to wonder if it doesn't have something to do with my mythtv@local. It seems the XML pages get loaded, but when it comes to adding content that's where it stops. Do you
know of a way to test that feature?<br><br>I'm in the process of checking the tuner hardware again. It's going to take a few hours.<br><br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Brad Fuller <bradallenfuller@yahoo.com><br>To: Discussion about mythtv <mythtv-users@mythtv.org><br>Sent: Saturday, March 3, 2007 3:32:07 PM<br>Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Linux noob needs help troubleshooting myth plug-in problems<br><br><div><br><br>David Watkins wrote:<br>> On 03/03/07, Jeff <muscles641@yahoo.com> wrote:<br>>> Thanks for getting back to me Brad.<br>>><br>>> As far as I can tell all of the directories appear to be correct.

You have to define the directory<br>> where you're going to store content and configure the programme you're<br>> going to use for playback (although the defaults will probably work<br>> fine). Then you have to put your videos, music files and pictures<br>> into the defined directory locations and, in the case of music and<br>> videos, do a scan for content, to update the
database. For music<br>> files the option is 'Scan for Music' for videos it's 'Manage Videos'.<br>> <br>> Then you should be able to go into the media section of the frontend<br>> and watch videos or listen to music.<br><br>Since these are plugins, they have their own setup - different than the <br>MythTV setup. Since you just brought up MythTV, let's start at the <br>beginning. Are you able to record and/or view the inputs to your <br>backend? For instance, if you have a PVR250, can you view TV and record <br>programs and view them?<br><br>brad<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br>mythtv-users@mythtv.org<br><a target="_blank" href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users">http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users</a><br></div></div><br></div></div><br>
