Chris: I've noticed while watching live tv that show going to really dark (but not black frame) scenes cause stuttering sound and jerky picture and cpu usage spike. (This is with vanilla .16) as soon as the scene brightens this goes away. Is this anything to do with commercial detection?

Re: [mythtv-users] nvidia GeForce FX5500 card with tv out
For tv-out of SDTV, you can use a much cheaper card than that. But more to the point, I believe most versions of that card have a fan on them, which you probably don't want in an HTPC. Fans make noise, and GPU fans are small and thus noisier. In theory the FX cards have some fancier xvmc logic but I don't think that's yet exploited. It might also be in the GF4 cards though. Drivers tend to work better with the FX cards, as they test them more with the more recent cards. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users I can get that card for 88 us dollars and it seems to be a good price I will look for less expensive cards but it seems the cards 20 $ less have 1/2 the memory.

[mythtv-users] MythTV crashes in 0.16
I've had Mythfrontend crash on me several times recently (53 times in the last week and a half), and though I've found some clues I'm not really sure what the cause is. I'll try to explain everything I've noticed. Feel free to ask me any questions to find more information. >From the user's perspective, Mythfrontend crashes intermittently right as a recorded program is being watched. When Mythfrontend starts up, the first program watched never causes the problem. Often, but not always, it will happen on the second program, and it rarely makes it past the third or fourth. The problem first appeared after upgrading the kernel to 2.6.10 and installing the 6629 version of the nVidia driver. It's possible that nVidia is the problem, but since it's also likely a MythTV problem, I figured I'd post here first. Anyway, here's a backtrace from GDB: #0 0xb64c0226 in _nv000833gl () from /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 #1 0xb73fa210 in _nv30gl () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 #2 0x00054007 in ?? () #3 0x42fc in ??

[mythtv-users] Problems with playback using mythtv >=0.16
Hello there! I'm using mythtv since 0.13 and i was very happy with it 'til the release 0.16. With that version the playback of my recordings has become extreme disruptive (both audio and video) without any sync between audio and video. The cvs-source from 30th January also has this problem (message is "prebuffering pause"). Another problem with the cvs-source occurs if i try to use the alsa or arts support. Compiling the support for alsa and arts in seems to work correct, but if i try to use that version, any sound configuration (even OSS, which works if compiled in solely) throws out this error: 2005-01-30 17:10:08.848 Opening audio device 'default'. ALSA lib control.c:654:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL /dev/mixer 2005-01-30 17:10:08.882 Mixer attach error -2: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Check Mixer Name in Setup: /dev/mixer The recordings itself are correct, i tested it using mplayer. Version 0.15 produces regularly but only one or two times an hour prebuffering pauses, in which the playback misfires, and only for less than a second. That's absolutely tolerable for me, so i'm using 0.15 in the moment. My Software: mythtv, compiled on an Gentoo Linux (2004.3) using a vanilla 2.6.9 kernel and compiled with support for alsa, arts, oss, xv and opengl. I've also tried a vanilla kernel version 2.6.8.1, but without any difference. My Hardware: Tyan Tiger 2466 (2x Athlon MP 2000+) Radeon 8500LE SBLive Hauppauge WinTV Theater 2x Samsung SP1614N (160GB each) using linux software-raid for /mnt/video ... (some other hardware exists, but i think they shoudn't matter.

So I had the script echo out the avidemux and lvemux command lines, and ran them by hand instead -- the gui for avidemux2 popped up, did it's work, and closed as intended. Then the same thing happened for the second avidemux2 call, so I "solved" the problem the same way and ran the command by hand with similar (working) results. I haven't figured out what's going wrong with Xvfb on my system; I'm still working on that. (Yes, I have it installed and have tested it with xclock; of course I can't see the invisible xclock window but at least it doesn't crash or otherwise error out when I run it.) In any case, my resulting cut MPEG2 files (originated by a PVR-350) have audio sync issues that become really noticable about 75% through, and there are blocky video glitches at one or two of the cutpoints. So it seems I'm still quite a ways off from a workable solution to having commercial-cut MPEG2 that I can burn to DVD. :-( -- Dave Caplinger ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] PVR 350 TV Out
Hi, I am trouble getting video using my PVR350's TV Out. I am able to capture video and playback on my monitor but cannot see it on the TV-Out of the 350. I am using Fedora Core 2 and used Jarod's guide. I searched the archives and it seems that my symptoms are exactly like those experienced by Chris Martin on January 18 in the archives. However, he did email that he had found a solution. My case in a nutshell: I can see test pattern using $/sbin/modprobe saa7127 test_capture=1. Removing test pattern and reloading saa7127 creates a pattern of lines on my TV. After some testing, I have figured out that the lines only appear after I load ivtv-fb. I can capture, tune, and playback video through a monitor. I cannot redirect the video through the TV-Out or see anything but the pattern.

[mythtv-users] nvidia GeForce FX5500 card with tv out
I am looking at purchasing the eVGA nVIDIA GeForce FX5500 Video Card, 256MB DDR, 128-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP, Model "256-A8-N313-LX card and the chipset is GeForce FX5500/270MHz would this be a good card for to use for the tv out function for mythtv? Can basically any nvidia card with tv out work well for mythtv under Debian or do some cards work better than others or is there better driver support for certain cards? I have looked on the mythv archives and seen a lot of talk about video cards but I wanted to check on this one and on nvidia in general.

[mythtv-users] AMD Issues
I've had MythTV running for over a year now, and I'm very happy with it. I finally got rid of the ugly tower box sitting beside my TV and built a new system for myth MythBox. I had been running a P4 - 1.8 GHz with two PVR-250s and a pair of 120 GB drives (JBOD'd with LVM2). For the new system, I picked up an MSI nForce board (heard good things about nForce chipsets) and an Athlon 3000+ (Barton). The new machine is using one of the old 120 GB drives plus a 200 GB SATA, again using LVM2. Compiles are definitely MUCH faster on the new machine, but Myth is taking up WAY more resources. Distro: Gentoo (optimized for athlon-xp) Myth Version: CVS 2004-Dec-11 Video Card: GeForce MX4000 On my old P4, recording two streams and watching one ran at about 50-60% cpu utilization. On the new AMD, the same thing takes 100%+. If I am watching something when there are two recordings, everything is extremely sluggish. I'm running the same Myth and IVTV code on the new one as I was on the old one (it was working, why screw with it?). I would have thought even just by CPU frequency alone (2.1 GHz opposed to 1.8 GHz) it should be close, and frequency isn't everything... Does anyone have any idea why this new (supposedly better) system behaves so much worse with Myth than the old one? The only thing I can think of is that the IO system on the nForce board is slow (maybe just the SATA?), since it seems like I'm iobound. On the positive side, the SilverStone LC03 case is really nice, and looks cool in the stereo stand.

I took out the redirection of output to /dev/null on the avidemux2 calls within mpeg2cut and found that it was crashing. (I'm not sure I get why the crash doesn't just kill avidemux2 and let the mpeg2cut script try to continue anyway... it shouldn't just *hang* there forever!) Here's an excerpt from the crash I get: #0 0x02750602 in g_on_error_stack_trace () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #1 0x0808cf54 in sig_segfault_handler () #2 #3 0x006b251c in gdk_rgb_init () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 #4 0x006b268f in gdk_rgb_find_color () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 ... In my case it was doing this on the first call, which is when it is doing the "Indexing the file with avidemux2". So I had the script echo out the avidemux and lvemux command lines, and ran them by hand instead -- the gui for avidemux2 popped up, did it's work, and closed as intended. Then the same thing happened for the second avidemux2 call, so I "solved" the problem the same way and ran the command by hand with similar (working) results. I haven't figured out what's going wrong with Xvfb on my system; I'm still working on that. (Yes, I have it installed and have tested it with xclock; of course I can't see the invisible xclock window but at least it doesn't crash or otherwise error out when I run it.) In any case, my resulting cut MPEG2 files (originated by a PVR-350) have audio sync issues that become really noticable about 75% through, and there are blocky video glitches at one or two of the cutpoints. So it seems I'm still quite a ways off from a workable solution to having commercial-cut MPEG2 that I can burn to DVD. :-( -- Dave Caplinger ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] New version of MythTV (0.17)
The one feature I would like to see, and I don't think it would be a big deal to include. Is to only record new shows. I brought this up before but got no response. Here is my example, yes forgive me I'm a scifi fan. Stargate SG-1 is one numerous times on the Sci-Fi channel. Since I travel every week, I have to record every instance of the show, which basically is about 8 episodes a week (16 GIG of space). If there was on option to record only first run shows, this would cut it down to only recording one show a week. Yes, I could set it up to record on Friday at a certain time, but the point is I only want to record the first run shows only. -- Jim Gifford [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

jebel: My primary tuner card is a pvr 350. My recordings are mostly of default quality, which first encodes as MPEG2, and then transcodes to the MPEG4 format using mythtv's built in transcoder.

How fast is your windows box? high-res divx takes quite a bit of cpu power. You might also try the divx drivers instead of xvid -- supposedly they're a little faster in windows. but you'd still need dsmyth. and yes, there's a reason why the nuv file format was chosen -- it allows MUCH greater control over the frames to keep them in sync. -Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

This is the description of the program: GOPDIT (GOP accurate eDITor) is a simple program that lets you cut and merge MPEG2-PS files at GOP boundaries. It supports no other file types or operations. Its main purpose is to remove commercials from TV recordings.

Re: [mythtv-users] HOWTO: .nuv->.avi else *without* the database?
Myth uses DivX, not Xvid. Brain-fart... my bad. I use XViD for my manual transcodings. You can play them in windows if you grab the dsmyth filters. Tried that today (sf.net download was dead yesterday). They seem to work, although it's choppy and the sync is off on what I'm playing. I don't think that mythtranscode will work without access to the db or the backend. However, take a look at Beirdo's nuv2avi: http://mythtv.beirdo.ca/nuvtools/nuv2avi.php It's not perfect, due to some of the problems in the avi container (meaning, sometimes you'll get sync issues), but it does just rewrap the nuv into an avi container. Got that today. It does indeed make an avi, but as he mentions on his own page, it's got sync issues with commercial-cut MPEG4. I'll concur with that. -Cory * * Cory Papenfuss* * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * * ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

AW: [mythtv-users] tv_grab_de OR tv_grab_de_tvtoday
It seems that XMLTV builds a tv_grab_de_tvtoday, but mythtv is looking for tv_grab_de. Is there some setting with XMLTV or mythtv that I need to set to clear up this seeming discrepancy? Or, should I just symlink from tv_grab_de_tvtoday to tv_grab_de? I don't think there is a setting (at least I didn't find one). There were posts in this list (some months ago) that suggested to make a symlink as you mentioned (actually you need a symlink with the name tv_grab_de pointing to tv_grab_de_tvtoday). I guess there's nothing wrong with this strategy. Besides: tv_grab_de is the former epg grabber for German speaking channels which isn't working any more for quite some time now.

Re: [mythtv-users] Hard Drive Question
You might want take a look at http://www.quietpcusa.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=8&Product_ID=198&CATID=1 ($63.95) Its basically a solid aluminum enclosure for your drive. You need a 5.25 slot to make it work. It works partly by being so massive that vibrations are reduced. I don't have one. I started to buy one (or something similar) after my last drive got cooked in my Silentdrive enclosure, but didn't want to spend the money on that. That was basically a plastic case with sound absorbtion material. In short it was little more than an oven, which explains why that drive got RMA'd about 10 months after I bought it.

Re: [mythtv-users] HOWTO: .nuv->.avi else *without* the database?
Here's a situation that only I could get myself info. I formerly exported PVR-250 captures manually (copy MPEG2 .nuv elsewhere, then delete from database). Recently, I've been using the NUV&SQL portion of nuvexport to do the same, but a little cleaner. For less important shows, I wanted to use XViD codec and cut commercials via the mythfrontend. That part works fine... much reduced filesize from the MPEG2->XViD transcode from within the MythTV GUI. Myth uses DivX, not Xvid. Now, I was going to burn the captures onto a disc to play them on a computer, but I discovered that MPlayer can't play them. I've always considered MPlayer capable of playing *anything*. Of course Winders can't play them either. You can play them in windows if you grab the dsmyth filters. Apparently, using mythtranscode or nuvexport->AVI directly is the correct way to do this. Without inserting all this crap back in the database so these two programs function, can I manually re-wrap the .nuv into an .avi? I don't want to transcode, just remux into a "normal" video container (with the XViD-codec). I don't think that mythtranscode will work without access to the db or the backend. However, take a look at Beirdo's nuv2avi: http://mythtv.beirdo.ca/nuvtools/nuv2avi.php It's not perfect, due to some of the problems in the avi container (meaning, sometimes you'll get sync issues), but it does just rewrap the nuv into an avi container. -Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

If you're not going to use LIRC (using both Myth's and MPlayer's native LIRC support), then your best option is to use a lightweight window manager like blackbox, and all of your keyboard focus problems should go away. X is quite quirky about keyboard focus when there's no window manager. -JAC ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Unless you're using the TV-out on a PVR-350, ivtv doesn't figure into it. It's for output only; it doesn't matter if you're using an ivtv-driven card to record. -JAC ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] irw and no picture/sound problems
Hi all, I am a newbie to both MythTV and Linux overall. I have just recently finished going through a walkthrough at this site: http://home.comcast.net/~homebrewracing/Mythtv.txt I am running Slackware 10 (2.4.26 Kernel) with a PVR-350 One computer is my frontend and backend P3 1.2Ghz, 256 ram, Hauppage grey remote, lirc 0.7.0 9 (just dl - so newest full release), ivtv-0.2.0-rc3e from Chris Kennedy's site (thanks) I have two problems after finishing the walk through. The first (and most important) is that when I go to Watch TV on my frontend, there is only static. I can change channels and see the show description, but there is only fuzz with no sound. I tried to run these commands from the walkthrough several times, to make sure my tuner was set correct, but no avail. For NTSC $ /usr/bin/test_ioctl -u 0x3000 $ /usr/bin/test_ioctl -p 4 $ /usr/bin/test_ioctl -f width=720,height=480 The only difference is that I had to use ivtvctl instead of test_ioctl. When I tried to use test_ioctl linux told me to it had been replaced by ivtvctl and to use that instead. The other problem is my remote. I tried to test the button reception by using IRW, but when I tried to do this, I got the following: $connect: connection refused I checked the /var/log/lircd, but didn't see any problems. I'm not sure what else to check for this problem. I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions to help get past this point. I am extremely anxious to see MythTV in action! Yes, I have tried several times to google, check this list, ivtv list, and lirc list for a solution, but can't find anything that has worked for me. Please let me know if you need more verbose log readouts or any other information to help troubleshoot. I'm not in front of my slack box, but can put together a more informative email tonight if need be.
