I have been struggling, on and off, with getting my DVD player
working with Myth for months (Its actually a DVD writer -- but I'll
wait to tackle that until I can at least get the player part working).
I eventually got it setup and could play dvds, but couldn't transcode
them. Well, I finally figured out that MTD was choking on its log file
at
/var/lib/mythdvd/temp/mtd.log - so I "chmod 666 mtd.log"
and voila! transocde appears to be working (haven't tested it yet, but
at least it gets me past the "MTD is not running"
warning).
Now, however, if I put a dvd in and attempt to play it (via
Xine), it stutters like mad. Totally unwatchable. Now this was working
perfectly when MTD was not running. Its almost like MTD and Xine are
fighting to control the DVD, gobbling all the CPU cycles in the
process, and causing the playback to stutter.
Anyone have any ideas on how to make MTD and Xine peacfully
co-exist? Any help would be much appreciated.
My setup: Pundit, Celeron 2.4, 512Mb, FC1
