Hi, Newbie question #2. What is X-Video? How do I get it turned on? I've gotten MythTV set up. It seems to record. However when I try to watch recorded videos I just get a black screen and in the terminal I see messages like this:
*** * Couldn't find Xv support, falling back to non-Xv mode. * MythTV performance will be much slower since color * conversion and scaling will be done in software. * Consider upgrading your video card or X server if * you would like better performance. <SNIP> *** * Your system is not capable of displaying the * full framerate at 1280x1024 resolution. Frames * will be skipped in order to keep the audio and * video in sync. <SNIP> You likely won't get any video. Indeed I do not get video and I don't get sound. I've set up MythTV to use /dev/vl4/video0 on a Gentoo machine. Is this correct or probably wrong? I can record from that device at the command line and I get mpeg video that mplayer can play. I also tried: dragonfly ~ # xvinfo X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 no adaptors present dragonfly ~ # Does this mean my graphics adapter cannot do X-Video at all? Is X-Video totally required for Myth even when mplayer can play the files just fine? I'm confused! thanks in advance, Mark _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
