There are many possible reasons for LiveTV/Recordings not working. The good news is that mythfrontend can connect to mythbackend I presume you have setup atleast the DEFAULT storage directory using mythtv-setup. On Pi4, using my script, the storage directories are in /srv/mythtv/ The DEFAULT should ...

Cannot give the official response, but I did an unofficial build of mythtv 0.29 which you can try see viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3359#p16292

Check using mythtv-setup on the remote mythbackend that in 1. General>Host Address Backend Setup: Security PIN (required) is set to 0000 Primary IP address /DNS name is set to the real ip address 192.168.7.148 and not 127.0.0.1, use the drop down to select the real ip address and then restart mythtv...

From the log mythfrontend is trying to connect to mythbackend on the Pi4 using 127.0.0.1 (i.e.localhost) In .mythtv/config.xml change the line <Host>localhost</Host> to the ip address of the remote mythbackend e.g. <Host>192.168.0.22</Host> Your ip address will be different from 192.168.0.22 Also ne...

I think you need "Browse all channels" selected in mythfrontend setup>Video>Playback OSD.
This works for me in current Master (from memory it worked in earlier versions as well).
I also have "Always use browse mode in Live TV" selected, same screen.

Sorry for delay in responding - I have been traveling. No idea why it's there, it is original code which I have not changed. I have done nothing to fix any issues with running mythtv-setup from application menu for Raspbian Buster. I only run mythtv-setup from a terminal on Raspbian. After mythtv 31...

Depending on how you built and installed mythtv 30 it could be an issue with mythtv Locale Settings. Check in mythtv-setup->1. General->Locale Settings that Channel Frequency Table is set to europe-west. I build from source all the time, but before building from source, I add the appropriate e.g. pp...

In Card Type I see an option for HDHomerun but I don't see <id> (type) or any sort of checkbox as you described. So once I have selected HDHomerun I see and entry [HDHomerun: } in the list of capture card devices. Like I was trying to say earlier, (and if I remember correctly) you should see :1 :2 ...

The default of '/mnt/store' does not work on later versions of mythtv, unless you explicitly create it. For the packaged versions of mythtv running under *ubuntu, a series of default directories are created in /var/lib/mythtv/ see https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Setup_Storage_Directories As a minimum, t...

I can reproduce Scan for channels > scan "Programmer Error: No Device" by going into mythtv-setup>Capture Card>select HDHOMERUN>Card Type at which point you should see an option: Use HDHomeRun <id> (type) make sure the box at right of screen is selected (tick in the box) if unchecked channel scan wi...

Lubuntu 18.04 with mythtv 30 from ppa:mythbuntu/30 works for me out of the box with HDHomerun Connect Quattro (Model: HDHR5-4DT, Device ID: 1251E907, Firmware: 20190621). I presume it is mythtv-setup Capture Card that is not finding the HDhomerun device. Probably worth checking with command line hdh...

mythweb has a configuration file 20-mythweb.ini which may need the value of "max_input_vars" increased depending on the total number of channels. Early versions of the file had max_input_vars = 1000, with later versions max_input_vars = 10000. I have a lot of channels and use max_input_vars = 30000....

If running *ubuntu 18.04 see post https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3114#p15073 You can substitute the line sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/30 with sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.29 if you want mythtv 29 (0.29) which depending on your Capture Card types e.g. using DVB-C (t...

I don't use nfs much, but I have run a quick test from my pi4 using nfs to a test server (xubuntu 18.04 LTS). Without Wait for network enabled my share does not get connected It is fine if Wait for network is enabled, but this could be luck as I have done nothing extra with systemd to ensure nfs is ...

Jim, I use a SiliconDust HD HomeRun CONNECT QUATRO (Model: HDHR5-4DT, Firmware: 20190621) all I have done is set "Wait for network" using Raspberry Pi Configuration screen (or sudo raspi-config in a terminal session). My Raspberry Pi's get ip address from my router. This works for me and I do not se...
