Beny, I fixed the problem by NOT installing video4linux and instead installing the saa7127 module separately. Here is a reprint of the solution I used, archived under the subject "mythtv playing recording too fast on FC6" : ----------------------------- Eureka, I think... I don't want to be too optimistic for the next 24 hours or so. If this did the trick, I will be ECSTATIC! I am currently recording two shows at the same time, and as I view them they seem to be normal speed. We'll see what they look like when it's all done. Anyway, here are my steps: PREP: 1. Backup your mythconverg database using mysqldump 2. Backup your recorded programs 3. Install FC6 and yum to the latest kernel 4. I discovered at this point I had the FC6 "586" installation bug mentioned in Jarod's instructions, so I had to obtain the 686 kernel and yum upgrade one more time... MythTV Installation: 1. Follow Jarod's guide through step 10, until you do # yum -y install ivtv-firmware # yum -y install ivtv-kmdl-$KVER # yum -y install ivtv_xdriver Notice I DID NOT install video4linux-kml-$KVER. I have read some suspicions by other people on this list that video4linux is causing some problems and apparently it is overkill for the purpose of MythTV. All that is needed is the saa7127 driver, so I followed the instructions here to compile/install it separately: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/35059 (Note: Everywhere they use the kernel version, I substituted $KVER) 2. Go back to Jarod's guide, step 10, at the /etc/modprobe.conf section and continue to the step where mythtvsetup is run the first time. After you see the mythtvsetup menu, exit, restore your mythconverg database, then run mythtvsetup again to check your settings. 3. Continue with Jarod's guide to the end. I'm still not sure what the problem is; but it seems that avoiding the full video4linux install worked for me. Thanks everyone for the info on this list! It wasn't easy but I did find what I needed from posts past and present. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
