Hi,
The current MythTv CVS version (2004-04-25) of the Xv/XvMC merge appears to be broken on a Via M10K box using XvMC VLD acceleration.
Problems are: 1. If DVB-T cards are set to TS mode the system will show TV on startup, but will fail on channel change. Before changing channel I get the following Errors repeated:
2005-04-25 06:38:19.007 AddInheritence(A ) Error, future=frame 2005-04-25 06:38:19.127 AddInheritence( B ) Error, future=frame 2005-04-25 06:38:19.247 AddInheritence( C ) Error, future=frame 2005-04-25 06:38:19.487 AddInheritence( D ) Error, future=frame 2005-04-25 06:38:19.607 AddInheritence( E ) Error, future=frame 2005-04-25 06:38:19.727 AddInheritence( F ) Error, future=frame
After changing the channel I get:
2005-04-25 06:38:28.247 AddInheritence( E ) Error, future=frame

I suspect this could be caused by not calling the XvMCSyncSurface(). This call releases the HWMPEG controller for other processes, and I suspect a lock is not being released when it is not called. 2. If DVB-T cards are set to PS mode the system will show TV on startup, but will fail on channel change. Before changing channel I get the same errors as for TS mode: After changeing I get no picture/sound with the following errors:
2005-04-25 06:48:23.866 Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times. 2005-04-25 06:48:24.482 AddInheritence(A ) Error, future=frame 2005-04-25 06:48:24.501 AddInheritence( B ) Error, future=frame 2005-04-25 06:48:26.714 Timed out waiting for free video buffers. 2005-04-25 06:48:28.913 Timed out waiting for free video buffers. 2005-04-25 06:48:31.113 Timed out waiting for free video buffers. 2005-04-25 06:48:33.312 Timed out waiting for free video buffers. 2005-04-25 06:48:35.512 Timed out waiting for free video buffers. 2005-04-25 06:48:37.711 Timed out waiting for free video buffers. 2005-04-25 06:48:39.911 Timed out waiting for free video buffers. 2005-04-25 06:48:42.111 Timed out waiting for free video buffers.
I suspect this is a DVB issue.
3. The sound/video stutter badly on channes with multile audio channels. This used to be cleared by setting the DVB-T option "HW Encoder", but this no longer seems to work .... (Probably a DVB/AVCodec issue).
