[mythtv-users] Bad Tuner? Ati TV Wonder VE
I have an ATI TV Wonder VE for my capture card. The tuning seems to be way off i.e. if I set it to channel 22 I see channel 20. I do have the setting right for the tuning types NTSC and USCable. I also get the same results from Xawtv. I can use the fine-tune in Xawtv to get the picture stronger but it is way off like two whole channels. I am thinking that the used tuner card I have is bad but I wanted to ask since I have no experience with TV capture or MythTV. I have the current build of KnoppMyth (5A10) and a P3 733 with 512Mb ram. Another unrelated easy question I had for the experienced. Do I need a faster video card for live TV, if I run the front end and back end on the same box? Do I need a more powerful capture card for live TV, if I run the front end and back end on the same box? Because Live TV is very choppy.

* Brent Borghese [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2005-02-21 19:47]: So far for the name of Time Stretch we have: Tempo Time Stretch Time Compression Time warp MythPace I like Tempo or Video Tempo Personally, I think Time Stretch is fine. Time Compress could also be good. Either one is accurate, depending on how you think of it. :-) Nathan ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] FC3+btaudio
Have I gone nuts or does FC3 no longer include btaudio? I installed everything... Google seems amazingly tight lipped about it. FC1 was working so well as a backend :( Thanks. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] cable HDTV frequencies?
Are you using Expanded Basic or just Basic (the latter is about $14.00/month, as opposed to $42.00/month for the former). I would be interested to see if you can get anything with the Expanded Basic service, but I won't hold my breath. Just the basic - I'm too cheap to pay for anything else :) Frankly, if I can't get HDTV over the air of for no additional charge, I won't bother. HDTV is great, but realistically the analog is good enough for most shows. I just thought I would try it... -poul ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] XvMC jitters with 0.17
Bob Apodaca wrote: I had XvMC working great under 0.16 and I upgraded to 0.17 yesterday. The problem I am seeing now is that interlaced shows look awful because you can see the interlace lines as clear as day (previously they were unnoticable). I can clear this up if I turn on deinterlacing. AFAIK, turning on deinterlacing disables XvMC. If you have a nVidia card, and use the TV out, it is better to adjust the flicker fixer slider in the drivers. -- Kieron Wilkinson ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] cable HDTV frequencies?
However, a number are not encrypted including: a) Most, but not all of the HD locals -- in HD. I think UPN-HD and WB-HD are missing. In theory we could call them up and force them to carry those. But I do get abc, nbc, cbs, fox, pbs HD. Very interesting. But you're not getting these thru mythtv right? That's the part I'm still not clear on. And since I'm not even sure if the signal is going to be there, I'm trying to get a clear idea of what I need to do to make it work, so I'll know if it is failing for lack of signal rather than PEBKAC. Should I just set up datadirect with the comcast digital channels? Is it that easy? -poul ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] cable HDTV frequencies?
Do you have a link to the FCC ruling stating that cable cos must carry local OTA HD channels? I havent seen any difinitive proof that they MUST do so.

I've been through AlsaMixer and raised every audio slider that exists... I guess I'll look for a newer code release for that, too. I don't have issues with ALSA at all. Did you check if amixer will work? I found that it's sort of MUTED by default and you have to set it to like 80% or something and then things work after that -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!

I have the current build of KnoppMyth (5A10) and a P3 733 with 512Mb ram. The problem is that bt878 and tuner are picking the wrong tuner. You will have to use the tuner= or card= kernel parameters for that card. After that it will go into the correct tuning automatically. Mandrake has a control panel for that. Otherwise, its kind of tricky because they changed the parameters recently. Try modprobe tuner type=2 modprobe bttv gbuffers=4 See how that works. Otherwise you need to figure out what parameters are right. If it tells you to use card=, I think its a card=64. Another unrelated easy question I had for the experienced. Do I need a faster video card for live TV, if I run the front end and back end on the same box? Do I need a more powerful capture card for live TV, if I run the front end and back end on the same box? Because Live TV is very choppy. Use gkrellm to see what cpu % you are using when just recording. See what % it is when you are watching TV (in a window). If the % jumps, your display is probably too dependent on the cpu. Make sure you are using an accelerated driver for your graphics card. -Eric Hattemer ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] 0.17 Backend crashing
After recording a show, mythbackend keeps crashing when I try to watch a recording. Here are the steps that I follow: 1) record the show 2) From the mythfrontend main page, goto media library 3) When I click on Watch Recordings, the backend dies, and the frontend hangs. a `ps -aef | grep myth` shows the following: # ps -aef | grep myth root 3470 2965 4 01:15 pts/000:00:12 mythfrontend root 3480 1 6 01:15 ?00:00:16 mythcommflag -j --chanid 1006 --starttime 20050221222900 --force I think the mythcommflag is causing the crash.

I posted the same question last week and got a private response from Frank Riley: I suspect the following thread in mythtv-dev is the culprit: audio init bug in NuppelVideoPlayer::StartPlaying. I've not had a chance to check try out though. The problem is that myth is detecting an audio rate of 0 (somehow), which is not supported by the sound hardware so the hardware gets set to the minimum rate that it supports and that is what gives the error. I wasn't able to trace through the code to find where the 0 comes from just by observation, I was planning to dig in with some debug stuff but never quite got round to it.
