Has anyone gotten this to work correctly? I disabled the nvidia driver from using that extra 64MB of RAM, verified via my xorg logs, and the whole frontend is much more responsive. However, this caused XvMC to not work correctly and it was unable to play my HD recorded programs (recorded from an HDHomeRun). When selecting to play them, the screen would turn black and just stay that way, and I would need to kill the frontend. There is some output in the frontend logs about XvMC not working, but I'm at work now and don't remember exactly what it said... Last night though, I turned off XvMC in the playback profiles and am now just using the Standard ffmpeg decoder. The recordings are now playing fine, with a short prebuffer pause every once and awhile (~60 seconds) and especially after showing the OSD for info or volume. I'm outputting over HDMI to a 1080p display. I partitioned the internal drive and am running mythbuntu on half of it. Oh, I've been meaning to say, that this atv-bootloader is insanely cool, and I'm extremely grateful to Scott and whoever else has helped to create it and this wiki! Very easy to follow and the end result is a great! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/atv-bootloader?hl=en -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
