discussion, and eventually the list gave him some ideas to try, and
maybe some direction.
Thank you for your understanding.
BTW, I'm a little curious about the segfaulting too. I would have
suggested maybe low quality mobo or mem... In my experience a
segfault almost always points to bad hardware (if the app is known to
work) but what do I know?
I know what you mean, but there is one piece of evidence that points
to it NOT being hardware related. That is that it can be made to seg
fault in a very repeatable manner. It always does it at exactly the
same point in a given piece of (faulty?) video.
Also the hardware I am running should be OK. The mobo was recommended
for it's stability (an abit NF7-S) and I have run memory tests,
extensive ones, with no errors.
I had very similar problems with my Twinhan. It turned out to be because
of a shared interrupt (the bt878 chipsets don't play nicely with
others). Similarly to you, the problem only showed up in myth, because
myth was using the other device (another bt878, analog this time). Other
players didn't use the other device, so there was no interrupt
contention and no artefacts.
I'd cat /proc/interrupts to see if anything is sharing an interrupt with
you card - then shuffle them around (or change BIOS settings) to get
your twinhan its own irq. That fixed my problems.
