Hello list, I've gotten everything with my myth system set-up marginally well, but I'm still having some annoying problems. So here's what I'm running:
Master backend (Dell 8200 circa 2002): Intel Pentium 4 (probably about 2 GHz) Nvidia GeForce2 MX Fedora Core 4 with kernel 2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 mythtv rpms from atrpms pcHDTV-3000 Frontend (laptop): Intel Centrino 1.6 GHz ATI mobility radeon 9700 Fedora Core 4 with kernel 2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 mythtv rpms from atrpms I've only really been working with LiveTV so far. HD is able to stream pretty well to the frontend, but there are some problems. In the first minute or so after I change a channel, there are a few pauses but eventually it smooths out (something I can live with). However, whenever there is fast motion in the video, every other line gets slightly offset--I guess this is described as "combing." How do I fix this? For analog, the picture quality is pretty bad (noisy) and there are about three or four horizontal lines at the top of the screen that have some random patterns of black and white streaks. The picture quality is much better using tvtime and those lines do not appear. Also, the color balance is not quite right, but when I press F to 'rotate between Picture Adjustments (Colour, Hue, etc.)', nothing happens. If I press 'G', I am able to make the adjustments for the recording. Also, the backend logs indicate that its using v4l v1 rather than v4l v2: > Channel(/dev/video0)::SwitchToInput(in 0): Error -1 while setting > video mode (v2), "Invalid argument", trying v4l v1 > 2006-01-26 22:52:21.234 Channel(/dev/video0)::SwitchToInput(in 0): > Setting video mode with v4l version 1 worked Non-mythtv issue but maybe someone has a clue. The master backend does not draw the desktop onto the entire monitor or tv (when using s-video out). There is a black bar on the left side where the monitor and tv are scanning, but nothing is drawn (does that make any sense?). I am currently running without any nvidia drivers, but the problem exists with a driver installed as well. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
