Hello, I'm new to mythtv. I re-used an older system with the addition of a PVR-350. It has worked pretty flawlessly, and I'm very impressed with the quality of the software.
Since I have a PVR-350 with mpeg2 hardware decoding, I've been trying to convert my VHS tapes to mpeg2 files to use the Internal player to make use of the hardware decoder. On another system, I use my DV camera to capture VHS, then I use transcode to transcode to 352x480 mpeg2. When I play it in mythvideo using the Internal player, it more or less plays fine, but occasionally will lock up the system, particularly when doing rew/ff. I see the following msgs in syslog: Jan 14 23:58:07 mythtv kernel: ivtv0 warning: 1000 ms time out waiting for firmware Jan 14 23:58:07 mythtv kernel: ivtv0 warning: Failed api call 0x00000003 with result 0xfffffff0 Jan 14 23:58:07 mythtv kernel: ivtv0 warning: DEC: error changing speed Jan 14 23:58:07 mythtv kernel: ivtv0 warning: DEC: error in slow/fast mode Jan 14 23:58:15 mythtv kernel: ivtv0 warning: 1000 ms time out waiting for firmware Jan 14 23:58:15 mythtv kernel: ivtv0 warning: Failed api call 0x00000044 with result 0xfffffff0 Jan 14 23:58:23 mythtv kernel: ivtv0 warning: 1000 ms time out waiting for firmware Jan 14 23:58:23 mythtv kernel: ivtv0 warning: Failed api call 0x0000004a with result 0xfffffff0 Jan 14 23:58:31 mythtv kernel: ivtv0 warning: 1000 ms time out waiting for firmware ... Since I haven't had one issue with playback of myth recorded mpeg2, I am wondering if there is a special resolution/bitrate/etc that I need to follow in order for the internal player to work on misc mpeg2 video? Or is this something I need to ask the ivtv developers as well?
