My problems have been resolved by changing the image size in the recording profiles.
Strangly, the height was set correctly to 576 but the width was set to 480. Setting it to 768 as indicated in the field help information at the bottom of the screen, was all that was needed to fix my problem. Can't mythtv / mythbuntu set these things to correct default values? It knows that i'm using PAL (configured during setup) and it knows my encoder card. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/46274525/IMG_3759.JPG -- Live tv using PVR-500 unviewable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550173 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to mythtv in ubuntu. Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: mythtv I'm running MythBuntu 8.10 without a problem. Upgrading to 9.04 or 9.10 causes my livetv to be very distorted and basically unviewable. Today I attempted a new 10.04 beta install to see if anything has changed. My problem persists. What I find strange is that when viewing my /dev/videox directly using VLC, I can view the channel perfectly. However, when I first try to view a channel with MythTV and then try to view it using VLC, I get identical problems on the channel. On the other input on the same card, if I haven't used/tried that in mythtv yet, I can use VLC again without a problem. The errors VLC gives (when first viewing the channel with mythtv and then VLC): [0xb6b01ae0] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late, increasing pts_delay to 816 ms [0xb6b01ae0] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called [0xb6b08fa8] libmpeg2 decoder error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture [0xb6b08fa8] libmpeg2 decoder error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture [0xb6b01ae0] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late, increasing pts_delay to 1196 ms [0xb6b01ae0] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called [0xb6b08fa8] libmpeg2 decoder error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture [0xb6b08fa8] libmpeg2 decoder error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture [0xb6b01ae0] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late, increasing pts_delay to 2471 ms [0xb6b01ae0] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called [0xb6b08fa8] libmpeg2 decoder error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture [0xb6b08fa8] libmpeg2 decoder error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture [0xb6b01ae0] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late, increasing pts_delay to 4932 ms [0xb6b01ae0] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called [0xb6b08fa8] libmpeg2 decoder error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture [0xb6b08fa8] libmpeg2 decoder error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture [0xb6b01ae0] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late, increasing pts_delay to 11157 ms [0xb6b01ae0] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called [0xb6b08fa8] libmpeg2 decoder error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture [0xb6b08fa8] libmpeg2 decoder error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture [0xb6b01ae0] main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late, increasing pts_delay to 21711 ms [0xb6b01ae0] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called [0xb6b08fa8] libmpeg2 decoder error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture [0xb6b08fa8] libmpeg2 decoder error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture I would think this is not driver or kernel related, since playing TV directly from VLC works. Once I try mythtv, I can't play TV (decently) using any program from that point, untill a system reboot.
