Re: [mythtv-users] Strange PVR-350 TV-out issue
David Blevins wrote: So I've been using my PVR-350's tv-out fine with no issues for about two months now, however recently it's started to misbehave. Once every day or two, the screen will slowly start flipping from right to left and the colors will become a very separated deep blue, red, and green. Seems a couple restarts usually makes it go away for a while. I really have no idea what to look for. Any pointers on what to diagnose? -David I haven't heard of any other 350 users with issues like this. My guess would be bad hardware.

Re: [mythtv-users] Changing channel delay theory
Alberto Alonso wrote: OK, I read the docs that say that the buffering of 4 seconds is needed so that fast forward and rewind work. I am hoping that someone will help me understand why. If the buffer doesn't have any back data I can understand the operations to just leave the viewing cursor at the present position. However if during the viewing they user decided to pause this would start filling up the cache. This would then have the effect of being able to forward/rewind as needed. Any explanations? Thanks, Alberto When you watch TV what MythTV is actually doing is: - Encode TV signal - Save encoded data to disk - Read encoded data fom disk - Decode data - Display decoded data on TV All this processing takes time - that's why there is a few second delay when you change channels. If the live TV signal was displayed directly without delay then you would have a problem when you tried to pause, fast forward or rewind. There would be a delay waiting for the decoder and the time would skip backwards a few seconds. Putting the delay at startup avoids a discontinuity during playback and it was also probably easier to implement. -- Regards, Bob ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Need OS and hardware insight...
From: Tim Cyr [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, in my browsing of the archive I noticed that the Connexant chip was recommended against because of lack of drivers. As fate would have it this is exactly the chip that I bought because it's the only one that I saw that had native MPEG-4 support. But, the thread that mentioned it was at least a year old, so are there drivers now available for this chip? You don't say which specific card you have, but take a look at: http://ivtv.sourceforge.net/ Be sure to look through the mailing list archives - the info. on the web site isn't totally current.

Re: [mythtv-users] MythDVD installed, but MIA
I have mythtv installed and working. And if I run rpm -qa it tells me I have mythdvd installed. But on mythfrontend in setup I do not see the screen for mythdvd. And if I run /usr/bin/mtd -n it tells me I do not have a DVD directory setup, and to run setup. Not sure where to run setup? Any help appreciated. Danny Aldham I had this same problem with version 0.16. If I remember correctly, after I installed mythmusic the mythdvd setup showed up. I suspect there is something missing in the mythdvd setup and it isn't creating the menus correctly.

I don't want to have one virtual area with the TV being at the right or bottom of the monitor. A few possibilities: It's possible to run the Myth frontend from the monitor and direct the TV output to the PVR350. It's possible to run Myth frontend on both the TV and monitor. Just don't try to watch anything from the monitor. Using the setup menus would be no problem. You could try using the Relative screen positioning option in the X config file to make the two screens overlap.

Re: [mythtv-users] Choppy playback on remote frontend only - 2 sec prebuffering pause

I finally have setup another machine to be a frontend. The playback on the new frontend pauses every 2 seconds for prebuffering in both LiveTV and recording playback, yet they play fine on the combo frontend/backend. Are the files stored on the backend machine? I've had similar problems that seem to be due to poor NFS performance. If I share the drive using Samba it works - with NFS it doesn't. -- Regards, Bob Wiegand ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
