[SOLVED] MythTV 0.22 Issues

fastfret79 · 2009-11-19 12:57:44

Just upgraded from 0.21-2 to 0.22-2 but having a couple of issues:

I run mythtv-setup and it performs the database upgrade perfectly, but if I then run the frontend it tells me that there is a protocol version mismatch (frontend = 50, backend = 40). From googleing, I know this is when you have differing versions of frontend/backend so is there a problem with the package?

Secondly (and quite possibly related), if I remove and try to re-add my tuner cards (Hauppauge Nova-TD-500) it fails to open the card and spits out the following:

2009-11-19 12:39:26.958 Can't open DVB frontend (0) for 0.
2009-11-19 12:39:26.963 DiSEqCDevTree, Warning: No device tree for cardid 1

For now I've rolled back to 0.21-2

0.22-3 was available today, but still the same issues.

I even tried the mythtv-svn package from AUR, but again same problems.

I still don't understand how I can have different versions of the frontend and backend - both come from the same package and I don't get any errors when upgrading. Could it just be a problem with my database?

update mysql to 5.1.41-3

it should fix mythtv issues

fastfret79 · 2009-11-20 14:00:19

mysql is updated to 5.1.41-3 - still the same probs

Also just tried an empty database but still getting a protocol version mismatch

eldragon · 2009-11-20 15:55:50

you are running frontend and backend on the same computer?

make sure to remove all myth plugins since those were not updated yet.

the db missmatch might come from one of those

fastfret79 · 2009-11-20 16:10:17

Yes - frontend and backend are on the same computer.

The only plugin I have installed is mythweb. I'll try removing it and upgrading again.

Thanks for your suggestions

fastfret79 · 2009-11-20 17:18:17

I tried removing mythweb - when I ran mythtv-setup it still said about protocol version mismatch, but it also complained that the backend was still running.

I checked and the backed was stopped, so I started it and then stopped it again and then re-run mythtv-setup.... and it worked!!

I hope the mythweb package gets updated soon as I much prefer using that, although I'm really liking the new terra theme.

Thanks eldragon for your help

to get mythweb running, use abs, bump the version, build configure. thats all there is to it (i can verify that it will work)

fastfret79 · 2009-11-20 19:30:12

wow that was easy!! I haven't had the need to build anything from abs before, but that was so simple!

Big thanks to the wiki for being so brilliant and easy to follow and thanks again to eldragon.

Can I mark this thread as doubly solved?!

ABS, while apparently a simple thing, always causes me to pull my hair out.

I bumped the version number, but get an error that

ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Where do I get the md5sums entry to put in the PKGBUILD?

[bump]
Not sure if it's right, but I just used the package that was downloaded during the failed build, did a

md5sum mythplugins-0.22.tar.bz2

at the command line, and plugged in the result.

man makepkg

if you bumped the version, another source tar is being downloaded, so the md5sum check will be different. you do the math.

fastfret79 · 2009-11-23 10:08:18

timm - I could see from the PKGBUILD where the file is being downloaded from, so I had a peek at the whole ftp directory and there was a mythplugins-0.22.md5sum, so I updated the line like so:

md5sums=('09c8fa1058399a0c5db169a71561e985')

Or you could just comment out the md5sums line which I think makes it skip any checking.

eldragon - did you mean 'man pkgbuild'?

no, makepkg
although PKGBUILD's manual should be useful too

timm · 2009-11-24 03:00:03

Thanks, got some of it working. Commenting out the md5sum didn't ignore it, it complained about that.

Still working on learning how to read and understand a man page; need to do more of that to get the feel. Most of the time I still leave more confused than when I arrived.;)

Now am working on some qt issues, a couple of the builds complain that they can't find cleanup.pro. I think I need to figure out what uses qt3 to build and what uses qt4, but I'm not sure yet.

Hi Timm,

I've just been going through the same process with the mythtv packages as you, it seems...

I got this error too at first. It seems that mythtv needs qt3 to build, so make sure you have the qt3 package installed. It built for me then.

Pete.

PS. It is a little frustrating having the mythtv package and the plugins updated out of sync - mythvideo 0.2.1 won't work with mythtv 0.2.2 (for me at least).
