I do know for xvmc to work, I needed to install the proprietory nvidia drivers (not the open source ones). and I thin kthey need to be newer than 170ish.
I'm playing OTA 1080i vids fine (from my HDHR). ----- Original Message ---- From: mrtisoy <daveh...@gmail.com> To: atv-bootloader <atv-bootloader@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wed, May 19, 2010 1:04:53 PM Subject: [atv-bootloader] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" Phil, Thanks for the reply. I'll check on the version of the nvidia graphics driver, but it was the default that came with Mythbuntu 10.04. I am playing US OTA recordings, 1080i and 720p mpeg2. Before I made the fresh install of 10.04 I had no problems with Mythbutnu 7.10 playing these same recordings.
