I am currently trying to setup an old laptop as a
frontend only box for my MythTV system (details below). Everything is installed
and running ok, except that I get pre-buffering pauses when I try to playback
any of my recordings. Looking at 'top' it appears that the cpu is being pegged
at 100% during video playback (65% mythfrontend, 35% X). This laptop _should_ be
fast enough to playback the videos as I can play them back on another frontend
with a slower processor. Can anyone offer some suggestions as to where to look
to improve performance for this machine?
Toshiba Sattelite 4300 Pro, P3-600, 192MB RAM, S3
Savage/IX
Fedora 3 and Mythtv 0.17 installed using Jarod's
most excellent guide.
Using internal LCD panel @ 1024x768 as display
(Laptop has TV-Out but I won't be using it)
xvinfo tells me that XV is running for the
Savage/IX video
Video clips being played are [EMAIL PROTECTED] mpg2 captured with a PVR250. Video
clips are ok as I can play them with my celeron 533/ATi Rage frontend machine
without pauses.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting
this?
Thanks in advance,
Shawn Flynn
