The 'easy way' is to just re-run the installer.If you don't have that http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html has 'em.The slightly more difficult way is to --extract-only the Nvidia
package you got above, go to {nvidia package version}usr/src/nv and type'make install'.It will just compile and install the kernel module. (It does need tofind the kernel headers though), instead of re-installing the entire kit.

Problem symptoms - watching live HDTV sometimes freezes (mostly with 720p format) - playing back HDTV recordings made while watching analog tv usually freeze - playing back HDTV recordings made while frontend is idle appear NOT to freeze (7 hours of recordings made with no freeze) - when freeze occurs kswapd0 becomes very active and the disk usage grows with time Haven't noticed this but then my HD3000 install is still very new. - a particular recording will always freeze at the same point on multiple playback attempts - skipping past the freeze point does not cause a freeze, but audio is lost even though the video is good I have this problem too.Suspected either I didn't have something right in my config or due to weak signal.I know my signal strength bounces around (80, 70, 75, 65, 68, 72, etc.)on one station and so far, this behavior has been limited to recordings on that channel. - playing the recording in the window of the select recording page allows the video to play right through the freeze point without freeze occurring (of course there is no audio at all in this case) Haven't tried this as I have thumbnails selected. - the frontend reports a prebuffering pause when the freeze occurs Same here. - the freeze occurs at the same point when mplayer is used to play the recording Haven't tried this but I will. Two previous posts that I found which appear to be related to this problem are: http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2006-January/116465.html and http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2005-December/115226.html I would appreciate any ideas on how to correct this issue.Thanks in advance for your help.

The other caveat is to have solid backup power, because XFS's aggressive caching might lead to random data corruption if your machine suddenly loses power. All file systems will give you data corruption if your machine suddenly loses power (with standard PC's). With standard params ext3 will be a little better because it keeps puts a copy of the data being written in the journal before it writes it in the correct location, also as a security matter XFS will zero the bytes in a partially written blocks on fsck, while ext3 just leaves the corrupted block in place, which is often useful if the data is a text file.Yes, should have clarified that, I guess. Of course all file systems are susceptible to data corruption when not cleanly brought down, but XFS is worse than others. I have some personal horror stories about XFS at work from this past week, in fact... :) AFAIK Except for ReiserFS, all other Linux filesystems will only corrupt files open for writing, so this isn't entirely random...

You may be right that this is an attenuation issue but the 3000 in the same rig with the same setup worked almost flawlessly under a previous gentoo incarnation so that makes me suspicious.

Now that Ifinally got my DCT62xxcapturing via firewire (added a second cablebox), I think I may havefound away around the problem.

I'm new to this STB, so please bear with my questions. nothing locks up, the computer just stops being able to receive the mpegstream over firewire until the bus is reset. this can occur by unplugging thefirewire cable and plugging it back in, or using gscanbus's reset bus option (which sadly is GUI only).Why it does this, I don't realy know, but it does, and from my understandingit happens to quite a few folks, so I figure I'd try and find a solution.--Steve___ mythtv-users mailing listmythtv-users@mythtv.orghttp://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users Happens to me as well. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] mpegvideo_xvmc error messages
XvMC and HD are working ok on my system, but I'm still having issues with occasional hiccups where the video pixelates slightly and the sound skips - probably several times per minute. I predominately get two type of error: ac-tex damaged and invalid mb type in [B,P] frame at I dound this thread referring to ac-tex but I think it might be a different issue: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/mythtv-dev@mythtv.org/1682169.html Possibly related are some issues I had with two recent HD recordings. They played back fine to a point, then froze and started eatting memory until the machine killed myth. They will both consistetly do this at the exact same point, respectively, in playback. If I can get past that point, by skipping forward over it, the playback continues along, but completely without sound. One final issue, though likely unrelated, is that the entire machine sometimes freezes when changing HD channels.

Here's the deal - I can't seem to get HD playbook to look quite right when there is significant motion. I'm running FC4 via Jarod's guide from about a month ago. Nvidia 6600GT with an AMD64 3800+ and 1T raid 5 sata drives. When I playback HDTV w/o xvmc, cpu is about 50-60 %, about 20% with. I've tried various combinations of xvmc / deinterlacing (both on and off) with different filters / libmpeg2 vs ffmpeg. The only combo which provides smooth HD playback when there is motion is Bob2x with ffmeg and xvmc enabled. Unfortunately, with xvmc, playback works for some amount of time but invariably freezes either the front-end or the machine. So, I'm looking for suggestions as to how to either: a) Get xvmc to be more stable or b) Find some combination that looks better w/o xvmc Anyone have suggestions? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] PCHDTV3000 + FC4
I've just reconstituted my Myth box, converting from Gentoo to FC4 using Jarod's guide and also adding a card (DVICO Fusion 5 Lite).The box also has a pchdtv3000 and a pvr-350, both of which were working under Gentoo (the 3000 using dvb). I don't care the time being if the Fusion works (though, it would be a bonus). I think the 350 is working but I'm not sure - can I get ptune from yum? Ok, so the real question: The 3000 doesn't seem to be working. One difference I've noted from Gentoo is that the firmware seems to be missing. Not sure if that's ok now on FC4. If not, the recommeded location /usrhotplug doesn't exist - do I just create it, must I install something, or is it somewhere else? Also, dvb channel scanning doesn't seem to work, but I assume that's a firmware deal. Anyone?

In fact, it was a combo fe/be and it handled hd. Problem was, it ran so hot that even water cooling it wasn't enough (i'm just guessing about that. certainly fan-cooling was not enough but i've been experiencing intermittant lock-ups which, i now read, could just've been a myth thing) so i had to leave the case open. Needless to say, it was loud.

[mythtv-users] HD Frontend
Been away from the board for awhile, but since my FE/BE hd myth box decided to die yesterday, I thought I'd explore the possibility of creating a new HD capable FE. I've seen some mention of some of the EPIA boards having onboard mpeg2/4 decoding and I'm curious if anyone has gone this route (or any other that has worked) and has some insight. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

For the PC/Player/DVD-Drive a dual sided DVD isn't any different from two different single sided ones. When playing one side none of the involved parts sees the second side or has any information about it. Or do you expect xine to be able to access both sides without turning the disc around? That's impossible, standard DVD drives only have one pickup (one laser plus mechanics) and usually only read the bottom side of the DVD.

[mythtv-users] HD3000, DVB and Sound Stuttering
I have this issue where, when trying to watch HD Cable on my HD3000 using DVB, the sound will stutter, causing playback to be jerky. It happens almost universally when I first switch to the HD3000 (I also have a pvr-350) and I usually manage that by switching off and then back on to the card (Y). That will usually be all i need to do, but lately on Discovery that has only lasted several minutes - at which point the stuttering happens again and I need to switch off/on again to fix it. FWIW, I'm running .018 on 2.6.12 with an amd64 3800+ and no XvMC. CPU runs about 90% with HD, and this doesn't happen with SD. Any ideas? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
