The main reason would be so that you have consistent volume control throughout MythTV without requiring two sets of buttons to do it.
In order to get things working, you need to loop the audio from the PVR-350 into your sound card, and then the PCM mixer doesn't seem to control the output volume (at least not on my sound card, a SoundBlaster Live 5.1). My only choices are then: 1. Control the Line-In volume (which does adjust the volume) somehow, (which means that I have two sets of volume controls). This, at the moment, means calling an external program (i.e. a shell script) 2. Use the Master volume level. This makes the MythTV settings inconsistent with other applications (i.e. xine). At the moment, I'm using the xv output, and it's working, but it does seem to smear sometimes in fast motion scenes. I have thought about trying to patch MythTV to address the deficiency, but that's a lot of work to make everything consistent. -- Joe --- Jesse Guardiani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tuesday 20 September 2005 5:48 pm, Adam Forsyth > wrote: > > If you already have XV working, just uncheck the > "use pvr-350 decoder" > > box in the mythtv playback setup and it should > default to XV. > > Just curious: Why would you want to do this? > > > > On 9/20/05, Larry Symms <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > What's the basic setup for getting the pvr-350 > to use xv instead of it's > > > mpeg decoder in myth using the new x-drivers?
