I was running 0.16 on FC3 using a PVR-350, and all was well...until...
I did an apt-get upgrade to 0.17, and now I can't get a smooth playback of a recording. The recordings themselves look fine (copied the .nuv file to another machine and viewed it there), but I can no longer get them to play correctly through the PVR-350 tvout. This occurs for recordings made with 0.16 and with 0.17.
I verified that I have the option selected to use the hardware decoder on the 350. I tried the 'enable realtime threads', 'use video as timebase' and 'extra buffering' options. Same problem. I made mythfrontend setuid root. No luck. I also upgraded to the ivtv 0.20 release based on some reading I did. Still no luck. As I just did a binary install, I thought that might be the problem. I got the source and built and installed it that way (myth, lame, ivtv). No change. Nothing I've tried has helped.
Symptoms:
I'm running X through the 350 card. I have the usual overscan issues, but otherwise it works fine. When I start playing a recording, the first thing that happens is the screen goes black, and I can only see the playback through peepholes of what were the icons on the desktop nav bar (KDE).
If I hit the forward or reverse skip buttons, the screen corrects to a normal playback video screen.
After it plays for about 5 seconds, it will 'hang' for about 1/2 second, then the picture will jump ahead to catch up to where it should be (sometimes leaving some artifacts on the screen). The cycle continues with 5 seconds of 'good' video, then 0.5 seconds of hang until I get tired of watching it thrash.
The audio plays correctly through all of the above.
Ideas?
Thanks!
Pat
