OpenElec,RaspberryPi - No Picture using cmyth - mobrien118 - 2014-04-04

Hello!

I'm trying to get live TV working on my Openelec RaspberryPis (running the new beta 4 which uses XBMC 13.0 - beta).

I have the cmyth plugin working on 2 other computers, both running Linux, and the picture looks good.

When I try to play TV on OpenElec, the guide shows up, I pick a channel, it says "buffering"... then... I can HEAR the TV but all I see is the 3d equilizer (my audio visualization)!!!

Maybe it's just a simple setting issue, maybe more. The fact that I can see it on my other Linux machines... well, you get the point.

Is there any log file I can try to look at? Any basic settings that I might be missing? Any ideas where to start?

I posted this question in the OpenELEC forum, too, but it doesn't seem to get a lot of traffic and maybe this is just a general XBMC issue or something, so I figured maybe it would come in handy here for people too.

Thanks, in advance, for any help!!

Did you buy an MPEG2 license from the raspberry pi foundation?

If you didn't, this is probably your problem. You'll put the license in the config.txt
