I ran the frontend with the options you asked for both with and without a transcode process running. Here is a couple of minutes of TV watching followed by a little transcoded video watching with no other transcode/myth processes running:
http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/files/misc/mythfrontend-notrans.log Here is a little video followed by TV watching with a transcode job running in the background: http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/files/misc/mythfrontend-trans.log In both cases TV watching is very choppy. When there is no transcode running Video watching is better but still choppy if there is a menu or some other on screen display being displayed. Here is the xorg.conf set up for my PVR-350 output (I have no other monitor attached): http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/files/misc/mythtv-pvr-350-xorg.conf --- DM - ATRPMS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Have either of you looked at the output from > mythfrontend yet?
