Bug Description

Binary package hint: mythmusic

Hi,

I enjoy mythtv enormously.

But I can't get mythmusic to work. It scans my collection and adds it to the database. (incidentaly mythweb shows that all tracks are 0:00 long). The interface starts up and I choose a song, which does not play. the time display does not change from 0:00 and the visualization does not "go". I can press > for next and so on. Once I press "p" for pause the whole thing freezes hard and I have to kill mythfrontend entirely.

Regards,
  Nicolai

can you get us some logs? Start mythfrontend with - allnodatabase. This
will give a lot of output, but maybe you can find something when you
enter MythMusic or during playback. Also, verify that your audio device
in *mythmusic* settings is set to a sane value - at least the german
translation is somewhat broken. There's a "default" entry in the audio
device drop-down box which was translated to "Standard". Subsequently,
this breaks MythMusic :)

"standard" is indeed the chosen output device (as it is in xmms...).
Software using the ALSA API seems to be using very odd device names
suche as "HDA Intel: ...". It appears I can choose from /dev/dsp...
Which makes it work. But /dev/dsp is a OSS thing?

Nicolai,

are you running MythTV 0.20 or 0.21?

Hi,

Some versions:

ii mythmusic 0.21.0-0ubuntu2~gutsy1
ii mythtv-backend 0.21.0-0ubuntu2~gutsy1
ii mythtv-backend-master 0.21.0-0ubuntu2~gutsy1
ii mythtv-frontend 0.21.0-0ubuntu2~gutsy1

It's been dist-upgraded a couple of times, now running 7.10 mythbuntu-desktop. It's a dedicated myth box. I guess I'm pretty happy with 7.10 :-)

Hi,

I've moved this summer and my myth will not be set up in a while. I
will surely upgrade it once it's back up but it _may_ not be until 10.4.
