When I try to fire up watching live TV with XvMC hardware acceleration enabled, I get an X11 BadAlloc error with my nVidia 6200 TC and XOrg 6.8.2. I'm running a subversion branch with 0.18 fixes, and my system is configured with 2 HD-3000s and the latest NVIDIA x86-64 drivers. The processor

Has anyone ever gotten XvMC working on a 64 bit native AMD64 machine? I was under the impression that it just didn't work yet. Greg That may very well be the case. If it is, what's the best alternative? I would guess that the next nVidia release might take care of it, but I'd rather not

I was able to get the channel information into my database by using the 0_18_fixes branch from subversion. Take a look at http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/ for information. It will let you scan the capture card and get the information over the air. Much easier than a series of SQL and/or perl
