Now exit mythtv-setup and DO NOT run mythfilldatabase. We have to use mysql to add a dummy channel. Your mysql admin login will be the same as your mythtv user password mysql -p mysql> use mythconverg; mysql> update videosource set xmltvgrabber = NULL where sourceid=1; mysql> insert into channel (chanid, channum, sourceid) VALUES (1001,1,1);What we did here was first inside the "videosource" table we set the xmltvgrabber for our new video source to NULL. If your sourceid is something other than 1 then adjust accordingly.We also made a dummy or placeholder channel in the channel table so that the MythTV front-end has a channel it believes it is turning to when capturing from the USB Live-2. This is a hack to deal with the fact that our device has no tuner. The important fields are chanid, channum and sourceid. You choose whatever unique channum you want. The sourceid has to match that in videosouce table. The chanid is a calculated field: (sourceid * 1000) + channum Now you can exit mysql and go back into $ mythtv-setup* Video sources:* Video source name: VCR ''(call it what you want, VCR is just an example name)'':* Listings grabber: '''No grabber''':* Channel frequency table: default:* Network ID: -1* Input connections (choose composite):*Capture device: <nowiki>[MPEG:/dev/video0]</nowiki>:*Input: Composite1:*Display name: VCRSource:*Video source: VCR:*External channel change command::*Preset tuner to channel: '''1''':*Starting channel: '''1'''Exit the backend setup and this time go ahead and let it run mythfilldatabase.Open the MythTV frontend.
