Hi,

I'm running the debian unstable version of freevo (from the
freevo.sourceforge.net apt repository), with a very recent cvs snapshot of
ivtv, on a pvr250.  It's a pIII/600 machine, with a geforce4mx.  I'm
using the svideo out.

I got live TV working by adding

plugin.activate('tv.ivtv_basic_tv')

to local_conf.py

It works, I'm able to change channels and do everything else it seems I
should be able to.

However, the video looks like frames are being dropped.  Not a ton of
them, but enough to make it look jerky (and fairly unwatchable).  It's
very steady rate, it doesn't appear to speed up/slow down.

ps shows that the command being run is:

/usr/bin/mplayer -vo xv,sdl,x11, -fs -cache 8192 -slave /dev/video0

and running that from the desktop (without freevo) and it plays normally.

mplayer is using about 40-50% cpu in either case.

My only guess is that it has something to do with IVTV_OPTIONS that freevo
is using (it's just the default ones right now) that are different when
done from console, but that's a total guess.

If I record video, it will play back normally without the skipping.

Any ideas about what might be causing the frame skipping?

Thanks!

Moses
