Every couple of seconds the recordings will jump sort of pause for about half a second and then jump ahead. Has anyone else seen this? How can I fix it? Here's my info: What PVR board do you have? 150,250,350,500? What did you configure as the playback device? Does mplayer playback video files smoothly on that machine? As for the PVR, it's a 250. mplayer plays videos smoothly, yes. Does mplayer say it's using the Xv output device? Something like this? VO: [xv] 512x384 = 512x384 Planar YV12 In gmplayer, the driver it claims to use is xv X11/Xv. It doesn't give me the rest of that information you asked for in the interface. Where would it be? Does mplayer play the MythTV recordings smoothly? LiveTV is smooth. I recorded something last night that looked smooth to me at the beginning, so it might be fixed. I won't know for sure until we watch the recording later today... [We're trying to figure out if the problem is in the recording or in the playback.] I'm not sure what you mean by the playback device. When you configure the MythTV front-end you can select a device to use for playback (for example you can use the MPEG2 decoder in a PVR-350). If you left it at the default value it's probably OK. I think I've isolated the problem. I have an output-to-TV component that requires 800x600 screen resolution to work. My normal screen resolution is 1024x768. It works fine in 1024x768, but when I switch to 800x600 to use the video component, it's jumpy. What would cause that? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

All my experience would lead me to expect that running at a lower resolution would be faster (smoother) if anything. It's probably time to ask on the MythTv mailing list. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! ... this must be what at it's like to be a COLLEGE visi.comGRADUATE!! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg 7.3: Xorg Overriding My Config File (loading GLX when I don't want it)

Using Disable glx doesn't stop it. Doing the same for dri doesn't stop it. In fact the logs say for each of those, on one line that they are disabled, but on a later line, that they are being loaded anyway. how can I stop loading of glx? I have asked #xorg many times over the past 3 - 4 days and gotten no useful answers. It's also not clear if they have a users mailing list. Section Module # Load glx Disable glx Load extmod Load xtrap Load record # Load GLcore Disable GLcore Load dbe # Load dri Disable dri Load freetype Load type1 EndSection maybe, just for thought, you should not use the ati driver, but vesa? afaik the ati driver forces glx?
