Hey Everyone, especially you Jarod... My first Mythtv-users post, and my first MythTV box.
Box: AMD XP 2400+ 1gig ram/50gig hds FC3 SBLive Plat (with the Live Drive IR) plugged into a 5.1 decoder via SBDIF coax or optical Geforce 4 Ti4200 27" SDTV via SVid motorola 6200 connected to PC via firewire Setup the box as per Jerod's guide, and got TV and audio to work using standard /dev/dsp output. Took a bit of reading and the usual trial and error to figure out ALSA, but essentially I copied Jarod's .asoundrc file, dropped 'ALSA:spdif' into mythfrontend, and... Well I get audio, but either everyone sounds like chipmunks, or I get stuttering or both. mythfrontend output that I believe pertains: 2005-04-26 18:26:15.074 Starting media monitor. 2005-04-26 18:26:17.629 New DB connection, total: 2 2005-04-26 18:26:17.650 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 5) 2005-04-26 18:26:17.658 Using protocol version 15 2005-04-26 18:26:17.752 Using protocol version 15 2005-04-26 18:26:17.919 Disable DPMS adding pes stream at pid 0x101 with type 2 adding pes stream at pid 0x102 with type 129 2005-04-26 18:26:19.695 Opening audio device 'spdif'. 2005-04-26 18:26:19.759 Using XV port 171 2005-04-26 18:26:20.050 Realtime priority would require SUID as root. 2005-04-26 18:26:20.071 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2005-04-26 18:26:20.194 Video timing method: USleep with busy wait 2005-04-26 18:26:21.408 prebuffering pause 2005-04-26 18:26:22.141 prebuffering pause 2005-04-26 18:26:22.903 prebuffering pause 2005-04-26 18:26:23.845 prebuffering pause 2005-04-26 18:26:24.783 prebuffering pause 2005-04-26 18:26:25.555 prebuffering pause 2005-04-26 18:26:26.494 prebuffering pause 2005-04-26 18:26:27.263 prebuffering pause 2005-04-26 18:26:27.452 Enable DPMS 2005-04-26 18:26:29.176 Disable DPMS 2005-04-26 18:26:32.945 prebuffering pause 2005-04-26 18:26:33.815 prebuffering pause 2005-04-26 18:26:34.954 prebuffering pause 2005-04-26 18:26:35.851 prebuffering pause 2005-04-26 18:26:41.173 WriteAudio: buffer underrun 2005-04-26 18:26:41.272 Enable DPMS 2005-04-26 18:26:42.524 Disable DPMS av_remove_stream 0x102 2005-04-26 18:30:24.505 Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None 2005-04-26 18:30:24.516 Changing from None to None 2005-04-26 18:30:24.556 Enable DPMS aplay -l - card 0: Live [Sound Blaster Live!], device 0: emu10k1 [EMU10K1] card 0: Live [Sound Blaster Live!], device 2: emu10k1 efx [EMU10K1 EFX] .asoundrc is just the one Jarod uses I've worked with Linux as a user, but still have a very weak grasp of system admin/setup, so please go easy on me, I'm sure I forgot to put something down, hopefully this is something simple. Jarod thanks for the guide, awesome stuff. Thanks much, Andy _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
