I've created a new setup running .17, with a PVR-500MCE in the backend, and an EPIA M10K frontend.
The Default and LiveTV record settings are set to 720x480, and I've tried 4:3, square, and 2.21:1 aspect ratios. The frontend is using a Noscale mode at 720x480, that has reduced overscan (Unichrome driver). The screen settings in Myth are 690x445+0+15, and I have tweaked them so that the menu displays are exactly the size of the visible portion of the TV. "Use GUI size for TV playback" is not checked. I am using "Deinterlace playback" with the Bob algorithm, and both "Use hardware XvMC MPEG decoding" and "Use HW XvMC VLD Decoding (Via Only)". I do see messages in the log like "Fulfilled via DRI at 5898240", I assume that is the hardware XvMC working. All four values in the "Overscan" settings are zero. If I "cat /dev/video0 > testvideo.mpg" and play it in VLC, the video looks fine. But in Myth, there is a large black area on the left, and the right side of the video is missing. I would guess the video is shifted right about 20%. If I use one of the 4:3 zoom of Fill modes, way too much is cropped off the display. I was assuming that by using both 720x480 on the capture, and in the X display, everything should line up, and I would only be losing what is outside the 690x445 that the menuing displays in. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Is it a problem that 720x480 is 3:2, and that is not one of the aspect ratios for the MPEG2 decoders in the recording profiles?
