My FC3 Ezra is still on libmyth-0.18.1-113.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm

I posted when upgrading to 0.18.1-114 broke Unichrome use, then rolled back (just libmyth) to 113.

Last night I upgraded all Myth components to 115 - breaking Unichrome support again (log enclosed) - so I have rolled (just libmyth) back to 113 again, which works fine (log enclosed for comparison).

The box is now running xorg-x11-6.8.99.902-0.FC3.ucr.2 et al. from : http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/testing/FC3/RPMS/ along with kernel-module-via-drm-2.6.12-1.1381_FC3-2.7.2-1.ucr and the latest kernel from FC3/updates...

If I can give you any more information to help get to the bottom of this one, please ask.

On the bright side, 113 seems to ignore the 'Use hardware XvMC MPEG Decoding' setting in Utilities-Setup/Setup/TV Settings/Playback and always tries to use XvMC, whereas 115 does actually take notice of this setting, but doesn't work when you switch it on :-( - so things are moving forward in other directions....

regards,


Jules

Just upgraded my Via Epia to latest myth build from atrpms-stable, but had to roll back libmyth from libmyth-0.18.1-114.rhfc4.at to libmyth-0.18.1-113.rhfc3.at in order to get my VLD support working again...

can't remember exact error message offhand, but if anyone is interested I could roll forward again and reproduce it. The frontend would fail to play video and present you with a button taking you back to the menu. The log said something like it had failed trying to initialise a VLD surface.

It took me ages to get it all working so I would rather not start messing around with my X server again....

Could some build parameter have changed between the 113 and 114 builds ?


The change between 113 and 114 is an update to the fixes branch. But
you also changed fc3 to fc4 or mixed the two, I guess that's more
relevant.
Axel,

Sorry that it has taken me so long to get back to you - I've been on holiday and then had to rebuild my myth-box after the disc got trashed...

The mention of FC4 above is a typo.

In rebuilding my box I came across exactly the same problem again. Here is a little more detail.

Box is an EPIA VIA Ezra 1gz running 2.6.12-1.1378_FC3, FC3, xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC3.ucr.30.8 and kernel-module-via-drm-2.6.12-1.1376_FC3-2.6.3-2.ucr (http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/FC3/RPMS/) and latest myth from atrpms (0.18.1-114) with libmyth-0.18.1-113.rhfc3.at. I haven't been able to upgrade past this version of unichrome because of issues in later versions on my architecture.

running  libmyth 0.18.1-114 gives :

Using XvMC version: 1.0
XvMC found and using MC surface
2005-10-08 17:38:10.774 Using XV port 64
Unable to create XvMC Blocks

using libmyth 0.18.1-113 gives :

Using XvMC version: 1.0
XvMC found and using VLD surface
2005-10-08 17:39:20.731 Using XV port 64
2005-10-08 17:39:22.017 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
2005-10-08 17:39:22.022 Realtime priority would require SUID as root.
2005-10-08 17:39:22.121 Video timing method: DRM

Perhaps something in the fixes branch has caused this change, or a different compile-time environment ?


Thanks for your time,



Jules
