Ignore the >'s

Heres my backend log of "all":
http://rafb.net/paste/results/sojNND39.html

I am not running the backend and frontend on two different computers, so it's not going over NFS or anything.

Thanks!

Well the // in the path probably isn't helping matters. Does the recording actually exist? Can you play the file in xine?

Also, your log file doesn't exist, it gives 404 not found.

Try posting your question to the mythtv-users list if you still can't get anywhere, it's a very active list and there are a lot of knowledgeable people there. I've seen problems like this float along in the past on that list.

got a response from a dev on ivtv-users, the hint came in the backlog:

Error getting codec params
IVTV_IOC_G_CODEC:: Invalid argument

E-mail response from the list:

That's what you get for using bleeding edge code: the G/S_CODEC ioctls 
are removed and replaced by a new mpeg encoder API which is now part of 
the v4l2 API standard. I have yet to prepare patches for MythTV to 
replace its use of the ivtv private controls by these new controls.

I'll release a ivtv-0.7.0 this weekend for 2.6.17 kernels.

Ah that's useful to know - I've got the 2.6.17 kernel but I couldn't get ivtv to work with it, so I've had to continue using 2.6.16.
