OK. And you're saying if you're on an SD channel you get audio in sync with the video? Reports on this list indicate that unprocessed ATSC SD video has sync problems on mvpmc due to the AC3 audio. In any case, it sounds like the only answer is to modify the mvpmc code to get the behavior you want. The only other hack that comes to mind is running a script on your back-end that repeatedly switches idle tuners to an SD channel. (In my experience when you use a tuner for Live TV, you get whatever channel MythTV last set that tuner to for recording.) (The script would need to obtain the list of idle tuners via wget against the MythTV status page, parse it, and then use ivtv or similar command line tools to change channels.) stuart wrote: > That out of the way, doesn't mvpmc default to the first device?

Lets not "second source" our facts the same way government officials do. :-) That snippet was written by me based on the same second-hand information. Someone who has actually attempted to force MythTV to use a specific tuner for Live TV should rewrite that, if it isn't accurate. > Looking at the live TV wiki, I see it doesn't talk about the command > line options (-s, -y, -u, -p).

The Commercial Skip feature describes how to enable database access. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
