First of all, my respect goes out to all of those working on this project. I have evaluated most of the available htpc front-ends in windows and found that each one was missing something crucial and was not useable in the immediate time-frame. I have currently convinced my wife that the great beige box in the livingroom is a good thing. This has been mainly due to the success I have had with Myth.
All that said, I have a continually develping "laundry list" of improvements I need to add to my myth setup. But first, my current setup: PIII 833 512 MB RAM Hauppauge 250 (bought in 05 with the new tuner chip which caused a major headache) 60 GB HDD Sound Blaster Live Value nVidia 5200 FX graphics card FC3 with Myth .17 (Jarod's guide has been awesome) 1) New 5.1+ Sound Card with TOSLink out. I want to avoid the $100+ Sound Blaster's if I can. Someone mentioned the AOpen Cobra AW850D. However the ALSA web page does not list it as supported, and I have not found sub-$100 card that suits my needs. This must also support AC3 for DVD playback. 2) Video playback Tearing - Some of my video seems to have a slight tearing artifact. However there seem to be no accompanying audio artifacts. I am not quite sure where the OpenGL switches or nVidia switches exist to enable de-interlacing. Your help is greatly appreciated, Bill _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
