If I am not misunderstanding you, yes dmix allows for anything to be 
sent through the spdif connection.  Myth TV uses mplayer/xine to play 
DVD's depending how you set it up. I am using xine for mine as I like 
having the menus.  It plays both DTS/DD and works well. Occasionly I run 
into a DVD where it switches from stereo to DTS/DD and it causes Xine to 
say the Audio Card is in use, so I am not sure if you can be playing an 
MP3 or something at the same time as running a AC3 soundtrack from a 
movie, I can try that this weekend.  It surely can play multiple 
MP3s/MythTV recording at the same time over SPDIF though.

I am not sure about your motherboard but with the intel8x0 built into my 
motherboard I am able to do it.
In the .asoundrc I found on the web there is an Alsa section called dmix 
(digital mix) which will convert the analog sound to the proper format 
for sending out through the spdif.

For my card it is like this:

pcm.nforce { type dmix ipc_key 1234 slave { pcm "hw:0,1" period_time 0 
period_size 1024 buffer_size 4096 rate 44100 } }


This may help, it is for gentoo, but you should get the general idea:

Hmm I had this problem at some point, not sure how I fixed it. 
Make sure lircd is loaded at startup and make sure you are using the

I know on Gentoo it ended up being /dev/lirc/0 and not /dev/lirc0.
Also check to make sure that lirc_i2c is not loading,

Occasionaly while recording or watching TV the channel will have a band 
of white/black transparent blocks at the top of the screen, probably 
about 1/6 of the whole height (about 4-6 in. on a 36in TV).  Switching 
to a new channel and back will cause it to go away.
I tried searching for the answer but must not have been searching on the 
right terms.
I am running the PVR-150 with IVTV 4.0 drivers.  I have run with other 
versions of IVTV with the same problem. 
Currently I am using S-Video in, but it did the same thing with Cable in 
on both my Pentium 3 and the current Athlon 64 machine.

Re: [mythtv-users] OpenGL ATI Radeon MythMusic MythGallery Problem

2005-10-21 Thread Lee Koloszyc



IIRC, the ATI fglrx drivers don't let you use XV and OpenGL overlays
during the same X session.  So it will depend on the

   Option "VideoOverlay"   "on"
   Option "OpenGLOverlay"  "off"

options in your xorg.conf file, which are mutually exclusive.  So you
can have 2D acceleration or 3D acceleration, but not both.  See:

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Fglrx

I'm not so sure on any of this now, primarily because ATI provided
rotten support (both in terms of the drivers and when I'd try to
contact them directly), so I don't use the ATI card in my linux box
any longer.

HTH,
Tim

 

I think this is incorrect though I am not sure.  The OpenGL Overlay  is 
not 3d acceleration, but the ability to accelerate 2d video by placing 
it as an openGL texture.  I have both OpenGL and XV working on my 
machine and get nearly 3000 frames in GLXGears with my Radeon 9200.  It 
does play all the visuilizations without any problems on my machine. If 
he could post his Xorg.0.log and Xorg.conf it may be eaiser to determine 
the problem.  I wonder if he has opengl set to ATI?  In gentoo you can 
run opengl-update ati or eselect opengl set ati, not sure about other 
distros.

There shouldn't be, I have wireless G and it plays audio and video over

Fourth, is the PVR250 going to get too hot for a fanless case? I've

since the EPIA board has MPEG2 playback acceleration and TV out.


I would go with PVR150 as it is cheaper and the same card.  Not sure how 
hot it gets.


Fifth, does the SP8000E have optical SPDIF support? I've seen some

It has a coaxial SPDIF connector on the board (that is also is 
switchible to composite video out).
It also has a connector on the board for digital out, not sure if there 
is an opitical connector for that or not.
I would also go for at least 512MB of memory.  My machine (PIII, Gentoo) 
seems to use about 450MB on average.


I'm also looking into the Epia's as frontends and building a heftier box

Now if I could just find a good cheap Mini-ITX case with built-in IR

The recording works fine though even while recompiling X in the background.
I am running on a somewhat slow system: P3 800, VT6x4 mother board, 512M 
ram, Radeon 9250 256mb, PVR150, SBLive.
I am using the ATI binary drivers 8.16.20. 
I also had the same problem with an Nvidia FX5200 card in the system, 
but had to return the card because of less then desirable svideo output.


Thanks for any help!!
