mysql> create database mythconverg; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> use mythconverg Database changed mysql> grant all privileges on mythconverg.* to mythtv; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> exit Bye
Check that the user mythtv can log in to mysql:
mysql --user=mythtv --password=mythtv Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 21 Server version: 5.0.51a-Max SUSE MySQL RPM
Setup mythtv
- mythtv-setup
- General: keep settings as they are, set 0000 as PIN (completely useless). Set your TV format like PAL or NTSC. Set your frequency table like europe-west.
- capture cards: make sure you choose MPEG-2 encoder card. Tell mythtv your video device, e.g. /dev/video0. Make sure in the end you see [ MPEG: /dev/video0 ]. Exit with ESCAPE.
- Video sources: choose "no grabber". Call it jj.
- Input connections: make sure [ MPEG : /dev/video0 ] (television) -> jj appears. Exit with ESCAPE
- Channel editor -> Channel scanner -> europe-west (provided you are in western europe)
- mythfillbackend
- mythbackend
Call mythtv's backend so that it runs in the background:
mythbackend &
- mythtv
