I have a Radeon 9800XT and Air2pc (HD5000) capture card on a Gentoo
2005.1/Athlon XP 3200+ machine. I have MythTV (0.18.1-r2) setup and
running except for one major problem - I cannot see video when I watch
live TV on HDTV stations. The problem is XV, which spits out "X Error:
BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) 11". I ran into the
same problem with xine/mplayer and was able to fix it by compiling
MPlayer with vidix (and adding -vo vidix:radeon_vid.so to video
playback in MythTV), but Xine just renders a pink screen using vidix
(and crashes using vidixfb) for some reason... I found that using the
stock GATOS radeon driver fixes the XV problem, but mangles fluxbox's
window rendering (and the mouse cursor) - this is a known problem with
the 9800XT - and I don't like that solution anyway because it doesn't
support OpenGL/DRM.
Anyway, my question is essentally am I SOL? Is there any alternative to
XV (libxvmc is hard masked in Gentoo so I'm thinking it should be best
left alone, besides which I don't think it works with the fglrx
drivers) in MythTV? Xine will render HDTV using the opengl plugin
(albeit poorly) and mplayer uses vidix just fine, however it involved
hacking libdha a bit, so I'm assuming I can get it working in Xine...
Somehow... But if MyhthTV won't use the vidix plugin there is no point
in trying to get it working with Xine.
Any input would be greatly appreciated - TIA
