I have been following the forum for some time, and have been very interested in peoples cpu loads. I have searched the forum and tried everything listed with no luck. I have a combined Frontend/Backend system. I was able to watch Picture in Picture with some chop back in Myth 0.15, but it has got progressivly worse with each upgrade. I believe, based on other peoples results, that I have messed a setting up, but for the life of me can not find which one(s). I have not yet attempted to try watching HD TV, this is all based on SD Digital (Australia). I am really interested in getting this sorted,as I'm hoping to build an XBox Frontend over the next few weeks, but obviously don't want it to suffer the same problems. I have tried the different DeInterlace, etc settings to no avail.
The CPU Load, as shown by kcpuload is When idle 0% Recording 1 Card 2-3% Recording 2 Card 4-6% Watching Live/Record TV 86-90% Watching Live TV + PIP 93-96% (Very stuttery) Watching Live TV + Recording 90-96% Watching Video (Mostly DivX 5) (MythVideo calling MPlayer) 10-19% This is a standard (Pentium Pro) compile of myth and associated bits, based on the comments in the myth documentation (Installing and using MythTV, section 5.1) I have not compiled optimised for the Athlon XP, since the documentation seems to indicate that it doesn't optimize correctly. I am just using the default Myth settings for the recording, which I think is RTJpeg and MP3. Box Specs: Myth 0.17 Mandrake 10.1 - Kernel 2.6.3-19mdk, Kde 3.2 2 VisionPlus VisionDTV DVB Cards (Bt878) 3 IDE HDD - hda - Seagate 80GB - OS + MythMusic - Primary Master - hdb - Seagate 200GB - MythVideo - Primary Slave - hdc - Western Digital 200GB - MythTV - Ring Buffer and Recorded TV - Secondary Master Graphics - GeForce FX 5200 Memory - 756MB CPU - AMD Athlon XP 1600+ Motherboard - Asus A7N266 VM Sound - On Board Any help in getting the CPU load down so I can atleast wacth PIP would be very much appreciated. I am, based on others mileage, assuming that this is possible. Thanks, (Sorry for the long post) Jeff.
