So better quality video is harmful in this context. lol-that sucks! > 1. Try using v4l2-ctl to set the stream_type for MPEG TS instead of MPEG PS. > Maybe it will help. v4l2-ctl -c stream_type=1 didn't seem to improve things. 2. You'll have to wait until I have a fix that either allows users to set the transfer buffers sizes smaller via a module parameter or somehow coaxes the CX23418 firmware to send a buffer once per frame. Wait? just kidding. Thanks for your hard work on this. I have added a note on the Prebuffering pause wiki page. Should we add an issue on the Hauppauge HVR-1600 page? http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting:Prebuffering_pause#Hauppauge_HVR-1600_S-video http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_HVR-1600#Issues_and_Problems Looking at the dmesg log I sent before, do I need a newer firmware? I'm using whatever came with Mythbuntu 8.10. Thanks again. _________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
