Re: [mythtv-users] RE: V0.17 LiveTV Jerky untill paused a couple seconds - POSSIBLE FIX
Hey, On a different note, I played around with trying to fix the problem by recompiling the kernel, and after much mucking around, I finally got the problem sorted, which I believe was caused by having ACPI comipiled in there. Removed it from my kernel and the jerkiness stopped. The only problem I have now is that, at the very end of a recording, the last 5 seconds or so freeze up the frames for about 10 seconds before playback stops, which I can easily live with and probably has to have something to do with the hardware XvMC decoding.

[mythtv-users] Fontsize problem in Myth menus with FC3
HI! I am running mythfrontend 0.16 on FC1 (connected to TV) and FC3 (connected to monitor). Both running in 800x600. Both have the same font settings and theme in MythTV. On FC1, the menu font size if perfect. It's big, but not too big and the character portion under the line (like in chars g, y, etc.) is visible. On FC3, the menu font size is too big. Character portion unter the line is truncated. The buttons at the bottom of the myth preferences screens are not visible. Now, if I run mythfrontend on FC3 inside a VNC session forced to 75dpi, then the font size is too small. I also tried setting the display size in xorg.conf, so that the local display is also 75x75dpi (xdpyinfo reports this correctly), but this had no effect on Myth. Somehow Myth gets the dpi setting from somewhere else. And even if that worked, the fonts would be too small then (like in the 75dpi VNC session). So, I am lost/out of ideas. Anyone has any hints on that? I'd like perfectly sized menu fonts on FC3, like I have on FC1. Thanks!

Re: [mythtv-users] gentoo cvs ebuild
I don't think it's an issue with the ebuild or the dependencies. I think it's an issue with the state of the code in CVS. With the release of 0.17, it appears that the developers felt free to make some destabilizing changes. For a while, many of the modules were broken. Last I checked, I was able to build all but mythbrowser (using the Gentoo ebuilds). As a general rule, if one of the CVS modules fails to build, you may need to update to the latest CVS and rebuild everything starting with mythtv (i.e., emerge mythtv-cvs mythweather-cvs ...). Often there is an issue where a library interface was changed in the mythtv base, and the modules now depend on the new API (or will be broken until they are adjusted, as was the case with some of the modules recently). Are the old 0.16 cvs-ebuilds still OK. Or are there new ones available? Peter ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Removing Parts of Myth
Fedora Core 3 is plenty fast. Changing a distribution entirely does not a faster machine make. Disable all services you don't need, switch to a very lightweight window manager, etc., and the performance difference between FC3 and any other distro is typically marginal at best. That hasn't been my experience. It seems that the Redhat/Fedoras have been getting excruciatingly slow of late. Even on a previously useful machine (PII-450, 256MB) with everything off (including X), it runs like molassas. It's not just the kernel either, since I've rolled my own vanilla kernel. Maybe it's in the optimizations of how it's compiled for newer machines. Slap an old RH8-9 or recent ubuntu on it, and it rolls along nicely. -Cory * * Cory Papenfuss* * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * * ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Somehow Myth gets the dpi setting from somewhere else. And even if that worked, the fonts would be too small then (like in the 75dpi VNC session). So, I am lost/out of ideas.

[mythtv-users] Problem Is DirecTV [was: LiveTV - blank screen only]
Problem identified. I don't know why it didn't occur to me earlier that this would pose a problem, but I am a DirecTV user. As such, taking the coax cable directly to my PVR-350 is just _not_ going to work. The image is not tuned and I cannot change channels. What I assume I need to do is to go from cable to DirecTV decoder box, and from decoder box to my MythTV box. From what I've gleaned from other posts on the archive, I understand I also need a serial cable from the decoder box to my MythTV box in order for channel changing to take place. I have yet to find a _comprehensive_ guide to setup in a DirecTV environment; rather, I've seen a bunch of vague descriptions and allusions to the fact that it can be done. Being of relative low skill, however, I really need the step-by-step. Does anyone know of a good resource?

[mythtv-users] Guide Responsiveness Slow FF/REW too fast
Hi, It seems my guide loads much much slower than it previously did. I was running CVS from late December, then I upgraded to CVS just after the .17 release. It used to be under .5 seconds to get the guide to come up, now when I launch the guide it takes about 2-3 seconds for the guide data to appear and the same for the current video. Also, another unrelated problem I see is that the ff and rew goes MUCH faster than before. 5x now is like what 20x was before. Any reason for that?

I'll experiment with different filesystems in a bit to see if that has any bearing on sound. Reiser4 seems smoother and quieter in one of my other boxes. Good luck with the sound. I'll post if I have any luck with mine. You have an Athlon64 in that, right? Here's a suggestion: If you aren't already doing it, make sure that you run powernowd (or something similar). The PowerNow technology in the new AMD chips is great. My desktop machine has an Athlon64 in it and with powernowd running, most of the time the CPU temperature is right around 30C with the CPU fan turned *OFF*. Powernowd keeps it downclocked to 1GHz except when more power is actually needed, and I'm using fancontrol to automatically adjust the fan speed based on CPU temperature. Fancontrol is configured to turn the fan on at 35C (at low rpms, higher temps gradually speed up the fan; it goes to full speed at 50C), so my CPU fan is off nearly all of the time. In your case the Shuttle ICE fan is pretty quiet anyway, but it can't hurt to keep that processor as cool as possible. If nothing else to keep the ambient temperature inside the case as low as possible to help keep your northbridge cool. I don't regret going with the slower CPU for this media PC -- it really won't need even the horsepower that it's got -- but I do wish that the Sempron had PowerNow.

The reason it is mplayer.2 is that I hacked mplayer to always offset to 1280x0 and to use the size of the 2nd display so it shows fullscreen on the 2nd display (the TV); I couldn't figure out command line options to do it otherwise for some reason. (normally it shows fullscreen across both displays) To recap for the curious, the problems with just using NO_XV as Myth supports are: 1) it is to slow 2) it scales badly 3) it doesn't allow changing aspects (basically 2 is 3) Mplayer obviously has superior software scaling where no one in Myth currently cares since they all use XV. :-) As I wish I could. :-( ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Re: Very interesting findings
More info for you guys. I did more analysis last night by playing around with xorg.conf 1. Commenting out Option NoDDC True will allow me watch livetv or watch recorded any programs with only DVI cable wire connected. However, EDID becomes the master which tells my nvidia card to only use this resolution. Unfortunately, EDID is detected incorrectly, that's why we have to specify NoDDC 1 or True so that we can attain a max resolution of 1080i. NoDDC is the same as IgnoreEDID 1 in xorg.conf 2. Restoring back Option NoDDC True will prevent me from watching livetv or recorded any program and brings the machine to 99% cpu utilization So who is the culprit here then? Myth? X? Nvidia driver? :D Neil writes: Hey guys, I read from a mailing list that using Twinview will degrade HD playback. I am a witness to it and have seen the tearing on some part of the pictures. I have an Nvidia 6600 GT card. This card has a VGA and DVI connectors. Here are my findings: 1. Using twinview Xorg configuration, I am able to see the HD program in my HDTV at 1080i. Quality is totally awesome with some minor bearable tearing. My config for this can be seen at http://restricted.dyndns.org/twinview_xorg.conf 2. I mentioned earlier that using twinview degrades performance. This test, I only had my VGA monitor connected to the VGA port, no DVI connections. So I configured xorg.conf so that it won't be using Twinview. Here is my config for this, http://restricted.dyndns.org/singlehead_xorg.conf and YES, no more tearing. 3. I used the same singlehead xorg.conf for the DVI cable. I disconnected my VGA monitor from the VGA port and connected my DVI cable. I rebooted my machine and bam. I can see the BIOS. So I started my X and am able to see X at 1080i. I started mythfrontend with no issues at all. I can see the menus. However, when I started watching a recorded program, I just get a blank screen and puts my system to 99% cpu utilization. 4. I grabbed the DVI to VGA connector from the Nvidia box. I took out the DVI cable and put the connector. I connected my VGA monitor to this connector and restarted my linux box. BAM again. I was able to see X with the same single head xorg configuration. Mythfronthend runs fine and I am able to watch any recorded programs too. What is this between 3 and 4? Remember, it is working in Twinview. Now, I cannot pinpoint where the problem is coming from.

Right now I don't think Myth supports MPEG subtitles, but the point is the information *should* be there and accessible by standard consumer devices**... perhaps someone familiar with the Americans with Disabilities Act could shed some light. Current status is that for PVR cards using the IVTV driver, the sliced vertical blanking interval (VBI) stream, containing teletext/subtitles/CC, is now embedded in the MPEG2 program stream (PS). Note that this embedding is IVTV driver specific. VBI Decoding support in mythtv is in process. For DVB MPEG transport streams (TS), VBI has its own PID and should be detected differently. Similar approach, but you need a different detection procedure here. Not necessarily. AFAIK only Myth has the ability to record VBI data and convert it to subtitles for display afterwards. I doubt ReplayTV or Tivo can do this. (NB- Myth only supports this currently for analog framegrabber (bttv) cards), though support the VBI interface on ivtv cards is maturing, so Myth may support them at some point, too.

Yes, I see that as well. I'm not much of a multimedia geek, so I don't really know what that means. --Rob ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] No automatic Commercial Flagging DVB-T AC3 in Aus
Haven't tried DVD's but mythvideo/mplayer works for AVI's with 5.1 soundtracks. I'm using the onboard sound on my MB, which is a basic intel i8x0 soundcard if I remember correctly.

I had a look and it looks like it did, but I can't get it to work. If I set the AC3 passthrough I get no sound when there is an AC3 track. I have ALSA:SPDIF set for the output device and my amp is fine for the PCM signal it receives when passthrough is turned off. That might be an ALSA problem. What's your sound card? Can you play DVDs with AC3 successfully?

[mythtv-users] can this list go on gmane?
I find this list - busy as it is - difficult to keep up with. Would it be possible for the powers-that-be to put this list on gmane? Or is it already on some gmane-like newsgroup? sean ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Back to 0.16 ... all is well
After wrestling with 0.17 for a while and not really getting anywhere with figuring out why mythbackend won't stay running, I've restored my system to the state where it was running 0.16. Everything's running fine now. No NFS errors, no mythbackend crashing. Perhaps at some point I may give 0.17 another shot, but right now I'm liking having a system that I don't need to worry about. :) An interesting post I've found is this: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/84015#84015 Very good information there about how to get good looking video output. I had installed an nVidia MX4000 card in my Pundit. By default it seemed to help a bit, but where it really shines is the ability to do vsync stuff. With the 6629 drivers and GLX Vsync support compiled in MythTV, the difference is quite significant. With no deinterlacing, the output looks very nice. Vsync really helps with the jitter I'd see with the Pundit's onboard SIS graphics. I've played around a little bit with Bob deinterlacing. The smoothness of the motion with Bob enabled is spectacular. However the resolution slightly suffers as a result. I guess you need to choose which is more important to you, resolution or smooth motion. Without dedicated hardware such as the PVR-350, that's probably as good as it gets. I can't say what exactly was wrong with my MythTV 0.17 setup, but from what I have gathered, at least a few others here were seeing the same sort of problems with mythbackend just disappearing. Considering the time I've put into the thing lately, I think I'm more than happy to just leave it at 0.16 unless I or somebody else has a brainstorm as to the cause. -WD ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
RE: [mythtv-users] [OT] 1080i
I have a PCIx 6600gt with the HDTV out on my windows box and it works great. I haven't tried it with linux yet though as when you look a the windows driver on the Nvidia site you will see Added support for using HDTV over DVI connectors But there is no such mention on the Linux Driver. I have posted this question on the Nvidia forums but have yet to receive a response. I bumped it today so maybe I'll have better responses.
