Dan- I'm in the same boat as you are, I've got an Epia SP1300 running as a frontend. I tried Ivor's suggestions without any luck, but I would be interested to hear if it works for you.
I was getting the following errors: DRM memory allocation failed (EE) VIA(0): XvMC ViaXvMCCreateSurface: Unable to allocate frambuffer memory! I played with a couple thing trying to reduce the number of XvMC surfaces, here were my attempts, all with out luck. 1) I made a change to the database (mysql> select * from xvmc_buffer_settings; ) 2) Also- Per Ivors suggestion I reduced it in the code: Comment out:- (about line 730) // if (vld) // xvmc_buf_attr->SetNumSurf(16); in videoout_xv.cpp Reducing it to 8 there allowed the file to play although the screen is just filled with garbage and I still get errors. I did copy some of the files over and they played fine with Xine. I hope this helps, maybe we can get enough information between the two of us to work toward a fix. cheers, Brad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ivor Hewitt Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 8:19 AM To: Development of mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv] XvMC Dan Pou wrote: > So success stories with unichrome pro and hdtv are limited to > mplayer/xine because of the surface requirements for all the OSD stuff > in Myth presently? > Well I don't have an hdtv source so all testing has been with miscellaneous mpegs. If I have time I'll see about playing with watching one of them through myth. You could try reducing the number of surfaces allocated in videoout_xv.cpp from the current 16 for vld and see what you get then. -- Ivor http://www.ivor.it _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
