Just a short note to update people with the status of MythTv when using Via XvMC VLD hardware MPEG decoding. This is based on my setup using an Via M10K box as a TV Client directly driving a 4:3 PAL TV Via S-Video. DVB-T cards are used in a separate server.
Works well with MythTv CVS 2005-04-23 (Prior to Xv/XvMC merge). This is close to the MythTv 0.18 release. I use the following options :
The settings I use: 1. DVB-T cards are set to record TS streams. 2. My xvmc_vld_2.patch is applied to fix the problem of changing channels when a DVB source set to record TS streams. 3. DVB-T cards have the "Use HW Encoder" option set. Without this some channels, that have multiple audio streams, cause heavy stutter of the video/audio stream. 4. The "TVPlayback" de-interlace option is enabled and "bob" de-interlace setting is selected. 5. The "TVPlayback" aspect override option is set to "fill". 6. The "TVPlayback" "XvMC VLD hardware decoder" option is set :) 7. The "Unichrome X-Server driver is set to "720x576Noscale" mode. 8. The file "/etc/X11/XvMCConfig has the line "libviaXvMC.so.1" in it.
At the moment with the current MythTv CVS release (2005-04-30) with the XvMC/Xv merge addition the system works, but there is a lot of video/audio stutter.
