Hi,
It appears the channel logos I declared in the mythtv-setup for each
channel can only be seen on the frontend who runs on the machine with
the master backend.
All other frontends in other locations dont show channel logos. Does
anyone know what setting has to be changed so that the other frontends
also honour the fact I want channel logos to be show to which I have
declared in the setup.
Thanks

I use the SVideo out on an MX440 and had little luck with XvMC in
0.18.2
(the fixes release), but am having far more luck with the latest SVN -
it's totally watchable and lowers my CPU usage quite significantly (to
the point where HD channels used to be unwatchable, but now only
ocassionaly skip with a 'pre-buffering pause').

Believe it or not, I'm using the AC97 onboard audio on a KT600 chipset
mainboard through the SPDIF out.
All I did was enable IEC968 output in alsamixer, turn IEC968 playback
all the way *down* (it seems to work in reverse?), and pointed Myth to
use alsa:spdif as the output device.
For mplayer, I use a command line similar to:
mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo xv -ao alsa:device=spdif -ac hwac3,
(NOTE: extra ',' at the end is required, tells mplayer to fallback to
other codes if it can't access hardware ac3, or the stream is not ac3 at
all)

That's it, my AC97 chipset uses the via-82xx driver.
