| Subject | Mythtv has lost all its on screen text |
| Message-ID | <s2A5I-84L-5@gated-at.bofh.it> |
I have mythtv installed from debian multimedia. I am running testing About a week or so ago now, suddenly it has lost all its on screen text when playing a video (recorded TV programs). The surrounding overlays are all there, just the text is missing - including on pop up menus. As soon as you return to the normal mythv menu system the text comes back. Anyone else experiencing this. Any solution? -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk

Install build-essential and compile from source? I did that once, years ago, took about a week to pull in all its dependencies, and found I didn't have enough iron to run it, it is resource hungry. But it didn't do funny things either like the packaged versions did and that you are seeing.

Problems from using unofficial sources is usually a banned topic. I tried Deb-Multimedia once, same thing I wanted a video editor, and my machine became screwed up for days. I do use several unofficial repos, and they have worked great, so far. But, I know I'm out on a limb and would not complain of breakage here. No one can duplicate your problem and there is a lot of bad press which I wouldn't discount. .
