Re-transcoding my recordings seems to be fixing my problems for the most part. It doesn't lock up with a black screen when I first attempt to playback a recording anymore.
But it's still not perfect. On some recordings, I get stuttering in video and audio (and don't on my non-atv frontend). Oddly, skipping back and then continuing playback often seems to fix the stuttering. I have also had it lock up in the middle of a recording, requiring a reboot to correct. Doing a "top" when this occurs reveals frontend is using up to 99.9% of the CPU. I'm wondering if moving up to the latest version of mythtv might correct some these problems, but I suspect many of them are because of NVIDIA's driver. Another tip for any noobs reading this thread. An annoying problem that I ran into was my volume being way too low. As I mentioned in my guide above, this can be fixed with alsamixer. However, I noticed every time that I re-boot, once again the volume was too low. This can be remedied by issuing the following command after adjusting the volume with alsamixer: sudo alsactl store Thanks for the help, Robert! -- 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
