Small addition:
make sure you select the right hardware accelerated vo devices for xine
and mplayer, in local_conf.py:
MPLAYER_VO_DEV = "xvidix"
XINE_VO_DEV = 'xxmc'
and put colorkey=0x000000 in your .mplayer/config file
(haven't been able to make that work from local_conf.py but this works
just as well).

I migrated my machine from FC2 (when setting this up was a royal pain)
to Ubuntu 6.10. On Ubuntu most of it was straightforward.
Mind I am using the EPIA board for TV-out so the Hauppauge 350 (which
can do TV out too) is not blocked for recording while playing.
Assuming the trip via the BIOS made something on the IVTV card reset,
it might be what really fixed my problem was the re-installation of the
ivtv formware from the ivtv install manual instead of the stuff that
the Ubuntu ivtv manual gave me.
For the rest the Ubuntu packages work well and have all the hardware
decoding drivers in them.Had to compile openunichrome though to get
hardware support for the video playing. You have to manually set
/etc/X11/XvMCconfic to libviaXvMC.so.1

Quick question for a fellow EPIA user.... what distro did you use? I am
currently trying EpiOS as it seemed the most straight forward route, but
am having an issue with mplayer when called from Freevo. Its one of
those fun cases where the arguments Freevo pass are working great when
entered on a console, but fail when executed by Freevo (v1.6 btw).
Anyway, I'm still digging into that. My main question was to just find
out what route you took to Freevo happiness.
Thanks,
Davin

Hi all,
I expect more people on this list to have a Hauppauge ivtv capture card
on a via EPIA motherboard. So this might be of some help to someone.
After rebuilding the software on my freevo box I have just spent several
hours to get my Hauppauge 350 (ivtv) to record data. all looked Ok
except that it only gave me black mpegs. :-<
In disgust I gave up for a moment to fix the TV out on my EPIA
motherboard with unichrome chipset (It booted with CRT video out and
switched to S-video when going into X).
So I told the motherboard in BIOS to boot with TV out. Checked the BIOS
setting for anything that might hamper ivtv (such as ACPI), found none
and booted.
To my utter amazement, not only was my TV-out ok ALSO my ivtv problem
was over!
I do not know how this happened which makes filing bugreports somewhat
difficult. But if you run into this problem. Maybe fixing your video has
the same beneficial effect for you.
Did you do a cold reboot? I've seem problems fixed only after powering
up after taking the power cable out and other problems fixed after a
warm reboot.
I can't possible imagine a relationship between ivtv and via
motherboards, except that VIA doesn't have a good name for reliable chips.
