Dag Nygren wrote: As it doesn't change any logic in Myth the patch is trivial and even I can do it if anyone is interested. As it doesn't make any difference to whether your disk fills up quicker what is the point? LiveTV recordings are automatically expired to make way for scheduled shows and to keep the minimum amount of disk space specified free I don't understand why so many people are complaining about this? MythTV is a PVR and should treat your hardware as such. This is the way PVRs work. The only change that anyone will notice with the extra recordings is the added functionality of having the LiveTV recording group, and possibly an average over-all increase in disk usage (which if you are not recording anything shouldn't change, and if you are will keep increasing as per usual). Set it up properly and it shouldn't cause you any grief. It seems a lot of people are having a conceptual problem here.

What you really want to do is gauge how much space is being used by MythTV, not how much space is left on the disk. Setup your minimum free space parameter and you will *know* how much space is available for new recordings. Hell, set it to bigger than your disk size and Myth will be deleting LiveTV stuff every time the auto-expire runs.

Re: [mythtv-users] [OT] Hardware (video and audio card) questions, differences and features?
Chad wrote: Hello! I'm looking for an easy-to-use website that will explain the differences of the nvidia cards to me. MythTV says I need a Geforce 4 or better to do XvMC, but I've got an MX440 and it barely (nearly unusably) does it. I am looking for a faster/better/newer card and want to know the difference in the 5200, 6200, 6600, GT versions of those, the 4000... I use the SVideo out on an MX440 and had little luck with XvMC in 0.18.2 (the fixes release), but am having far more luck with the latest SVN - it's totally watchable and lowers my CPU usage quite significantly (to the point where HD channels used to be unwatchable, but now only ocassionaly skip with a 'pre-buffering pause'). I'm looking for a card that actually works (well) in linux/mythtv with it's Digital Coax output. I have yet to actually be able to get anything to play through my digital out and have my receiver pick it up as a Dolby Digital sound source (when it's a HD recording with DD audio). Believe it or not, I'm using the AC97 onboard audio on a KT600 chipset mainboard through the SPDIF out. All I did was enable IEC968 output in alsamixer, turn IEC968 playback all the way *down* (it seems to work in reverse?), and pointed Myth to use alsa:spdif as the output device. For mplayer, I use a command line similar to: mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo xv -ao alsa:device=spdif -ac hwac3, (NOTE: extra ',' at the end is required, tells mplayer to fallback to other codes if it can't access hardware ac3, or the stream is not ac3 at all) The best I've gotten is a loud repeated 'beat' (which is my best description, I would guess it's an analog version of the digital pulse?) which I quickly mute or kill. I've tried/used a cmipci, an emu10k1, and onboard via-82xx, all through very new versions of ALSA, with no avail. That's it, my AC97 chipset uses the via-82xx driver.

[mythtv-users] Oversaturation / Bleeding
Hi guys, Been having a problem with oversaturation and colour bleeding in LiveTV and being recorded into my recordings. I've recently upgraded to SVN 8321 and I've been having the problem since then. I've ruled out a bunch of stuff: 1. It's not my TV settings - playing videos via MythVideo (through mplayer using -vo xv) look fine 2. It's not my X / nVidia driver settings - for the same reason, also that I haven't changed them for close on 6 months and have never had this problem before (and yes, I have tried tweaking with nvidia-settings to no avail). 3. It's not my DVB feed from the antenna - LiveTV looks perfect on my laptop running the same SVN version. So that only leaves this particular mythfrontend installation. I have tried rendering with 'Standard', 'Standard XVMC' (my preferred choice) and libmpeg2 with no effect. I have tried disabling and enabling interlacing. I know Myth can pay attention to XV picture controls, but I'm not entirely sure where I set XV picture controls, or even whether it will help (as mplayer doesn't have the same problem). Any suggestions? Regards, Johan. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Ok, so I worked this out for myself and for anyone else who doesn't know (and Google purposes) look up the xvinfo and xvattr utilities. Myth will listen to the Xv controls only for playback, however, and not for recording (so therefore couldn't fix my original problem). Any suggestions? I did, however, figure this one out. I had my vertical overscan set to 1%. Zeroing this value fixed the colour problems. Just going to chalk this up to the flux going on in the SVN codebase at the moment and check to see if there's a ticket in Trac.

Right now, I'm looking at the Fusion range (the computer shop I like to deal with stocks a few of these). I like the idea of the Fusion HDTV DVB-T Dual Digital (at http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/ENG/Products/DualDigital.aspx) - according to the blurb, it will give me two TV Tuners (Or - ability to watch one channel, and record another at the same time). Has anyone gotten this working with mythtv? Do the linux drivers let you use the dual functionality of this? Don't know about the Fusion card, but I use an Hauppauge NOVA-T with MythTV on Debian Linux without any hassles here in Australia. Channel tuning and LiveTV are excellent, and the included IR receiver and remote work like a charm (though the remote repeat rate could be higher). I had to slightly modify the budget-ci module in the kernel when I installed the card to get all the buttons on the remote working (the author of the module wrote it for a more limited remote), but it's easy to do.
