I've seen a lot of traffic in the last few days about the joys of XvMC and been seeing loades in excess of 2.4 on my myth system, so I'm attempting to reinvestagate using it.
Joys? Well, it surely gives decreased CPU usage, but...
- Video playback is actually *more* sensitive to system load due to less buffers.
- The OSD will be in black and white.
So...Is the above paragraph correct? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this? I'm a bit hesitant to do much tinkering without prior knowledge, as this is my production box and its getting pretty heavy use (from family members -- I practically have to get up in the middle of the night to get time on it).
I had pretty good luck with the nvidia 7174 drivers, MythTV CVS (from april 11), and the xv-xvmc merge patch v7.
But if your system is working with XV, *why* are you looking to switch to XvMC?
