Hi, everyone: This isn't strictly a Myth question, but it is related towards getting my first system up and running, so I'm hoping someone has a similar configuration, and could point me in the right direction ...
With everyone's help, I've gotten my Myth box to recognize my PVR-150 and my pcHDTV-3000 card, and I'm able to tune in stations through both cards via my cable hook-up. However, I'm having trouble playing back HD content. See, my processor is only a Sempron 2500+, so it really can't handle decoding HD content by itself. However, my video card is an nVidia 6200 with hardware decoding, so I should be able to offload this to the card (in fact, this is why I bought it). My problem is, it appears that I can't get my system to use XvMC. When I enable that setting in Myth, I just get a black screen on playback. Also, when I use mplayer -vo xvmc to play back any content (both the version from atrpms, and a hand-complied version), I just get: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device Not using XvMC (-vo xv) works, but the playback is so choppy that it's unviewable. I've gone over nVidia's docs, but I can't see any special option to enable XvMC in my xorg.conf. All it says in its docs is that this release (7676, btw) "includes support for the X-Video Motion Compensation (XvMC) version 1.0 API on GeForce4, GeForce FX and newer products." So, for anyone with an nVidia card using XvMC, did you have to do anything special to get it running? Any advice to point me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks!
