My FC3 Ezra is still on libmyth-0.18.1-113.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm
I posted when upgrading to 0.18.1-114 broke Unichrome use, then
rolled back (just libmyth) to 113.
Last night I upgraded all Myth components to 115 - breaking
Unichrome support again (log enclosed) - so I have rolled (just
libmyth) back to 113 again, which works fine (log enclosed for
comparison).
Have you configured XvMCW to use VLD?
I'll be a little more specific here - in case I have misunderstood
you - I HAVE selected the 'Use hardware XvMC MPEG Decoding' setting
in Utilities-Setup/Setup/TV Settings/Playback.
No, I mean /etc/X11/XvMCConfig. Does it say libviaXvMC.so.1 or similar?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /etc/X11/XvMCConfig
/usr/X11R6/lib/libviaXvMC.so.1.0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#
also :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libviaXvMC.so.1.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 59600 Nov 15 01:54 /usr/X11R6/lib/libviaXvMC.so.1.0

I can tell when everything works, because the OSD is grey - when I am
running without VLD the OSD is blue - when I get a complete failure I
don't get a picture, I get an error message.
With my current setup 113 runs with a grey OSD happily
With exactly the same setup, but a 115 libmyth rpm I get the error
message and no picture
If I disable VLD from setup with 115 I get a picture - with blue OSD -
i.e. NO acceleration

If there is anything else that I need to do for 115 over and above
what I have done for 113, then I'm afraid that I have missed it -
please advise...
Jules
Of course :-)
Look at the logs enclosed - you can see that one (113) says :
Using XvMC version: 1.1
XvMC found and using VLD surface
2005-11-18 00:10:38.086 Using XV port 68
2005-11-18 00:10:39.335 Changing from None to WatchingPreRecorded
whilst the other (115) says :
Using XvMC version: 1.1
XvMC found and using MC surface
2005-11-18 00:08:55.587 Using XV port 68
Unable to create XvMC Blocks
2005-11-18 00:08:57.225 Changing from None to WatchingPreRecorded
Thanks, Axel,
Jules
The box is now running xorg-x11-6.8.99.902-0.FC3.ucr.2 et al.
from : http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/testing/FC3/RPMS/ along
with kernel-module-via-drm-2.6.12-1.1381_FC3-2.7.2-1.ucr and the
latest kernel from FC3/updates...
If I can give you any more information to help get to the bottom
of this one, please ask.
On the bright side, 113 seems to ignore the 'Use hardware XvMC
MPEG Decoding' setting in Utilities-Setup/Setup/TV
Settings/Playback and always tries to use XvMC, whereas 115 does
actually take notice of this setting, but doesn't work when you
switch it on :-( - so things are moving forward in other
directions....
regards,
Jules

Just upgraded my Via Epia to latest myth build from
atrpms-stable, but had to roll back libmyth from
libmyth-0.18.1-114.rhfc4.at to libmyth-0.18.1-113.rhfc3.at in
order to get my VLD support working again...
can't remember exact error message offhand, but if anyone is
interested I could roll forward again and reproduce it. The
frontend would fail to play video and present you with a
button taking you back to the menu. The log said something
like it had failed trying to initialise a VLD surface.
It took me ages to get it all working so I would rather not
start messing around with my X server again....
Could some build parameter have changed between the 113 and
114 builds ?
The change between 113 and 114 is an update to the fixes
branch. But
you also changed fc3 to fc4 or mixed the two, I guess that's more
relevant.
Axel,
Sorry that it has taken me so long to get back to you - I've
been on holiday and then had to rebuild my myth-box after the
disc got trashed...
The mention of FC4 above is a typo.
In rebuilding my box I came across exactly the same problem
again. Here is a little more detail.
Box is an EPIA VIA Ezra 1gz running 2.6.12-1.1378_FC3, FC3,
xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC3.ucr.30.8 and
kernel-module-via-drm-2.6.12-1.1376_FC3-2.6.3-2.ucr
(http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/FC3/RPMS/) and latest myth
from atrpms (0.18.1-114) with libmyth-0.18.1-113.rhfc3.at. I
haven't been able to upgrade past this version of unichrome
because of issues in later versions on my architecture.
running libmyth 0.18.1-114 gives :
Using XvMC version: 1.0
XvMC found and using MC surface
2005-10-08 17:38:10.774 Using XV port 64
Unable to create XvMC Blocks
using libmyth 0.18.1-113 gives :
Using XvMC version: 1.0
XvMC found and using VLD surface
2005-10-08 17:39:20.731 Using XV port 64
2005-10-08 17:39:22.017 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
2005-10-08 17:39:22.022 Realtime priority would require SUID as
root.
2005-10-08 17:39:22.121 Video timing method: DRM
Perhaps something in the fixes branch has caused this change, or
a different compile-time environment ?
Thanks for your time,
Jules
