Maybe I'll give the leading-edge SVN version a try, since this feature looks quite important to me.

[mythtv-users] Multiple tuners, multiple video sources, How to change channels in LiveTV?
Hello, in my box, there are currently two tuners connected to different sources, therefore not providing the same channels. Now, if I'm watching LiveTV I have to manually change tuners via "Y" in order to watch channels on the other tuner card. Is this intended behaviour? I'd expect to just choose the channel number and MythTV selects a matching tuner card. I intend to add a few more tuners - will I have to explain my mother she should just press the "change tuner" button, then try if she gets the channel she wants, if not, change tuner again, ... no, this cannot be intended, can it? Thanks in advance for any hint.

[mythtv-users] TV recording with "jumps" in video, live TV is ok?
Hello, I'm running MythTV 0.18 on an AMD Athlox XP 2000+ Debian Linux machine (frontend and backend) and with a cheap analogue v4l compatible receiver (bttv driver, some old Hauppauge WinTV). Since a few weeks I'm seeing the following effects when recording: From time to time (more than once a minute) video seems to jump, then is playing slowly (maybe in order to re-synchronize with the sound, again), then is playing nicely again. This does not happen if I'm watching live TV and recording worked ok a while ago - no, sorry, I am not aware of having changed the configuration. I assume this cannot be a performance problem since it does not happen when watching life TV. Have you got any hint for me? I'm pretty clueless after having gone through the configuration again and again.

Re: [mythtv-users] stuttering playback with MythTV EPIA-M/networked
I feel quite ashamed ... the problem with my box' stuttering has not been the obvious thing no 1 (=> unichrome drivers not installed correctly), but the 2nd obvious thing: my mythtv binaries had not proper XvMC support compiled in. Sorry for wasting your time. Anyway, the various answers I got from you already helped a lot in fine-tuning! The binary I've got now (http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~mfgalizi/debian) unfortunately hasn't got proper sound support (???) but has proven that TV playback would basically work. Where do you get your mythtv debian binaries from? Well, I give home-brewing another chance if there is no "there" yell ...

Hmh, sorry for not including all that info from the start. It's an ME600 (256MB / CF-Card "silicon disc"), MythTV is 0.18.1 (on debian, used http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz and made new binaries "march"-ed for the VIA C3), Unichrome is a snapshot from April 21 (I used binary packages from http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~mfgalizi/debian). > Have you tried MiniMyth <http://linpvr.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=348>? Ok, that's a good thing to try. I have not tried MiniMyth and KnoppMyth because it is unclear to me if they support the hardware MPEG2 decoder.

Re: [mythtv-users] stuttering playback with MythTV EPIA-M/networked
Hello Stephen, thanks a lot, unfortunately it did not help for me ... I tried with mythfrontend as root with different nice values but I never got over the stuttering. Bad luck for me :-) Best regards, Tom On Fri, 2005-05-20 at 13:35 +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > This is what I did to correct the stuttering: > > 1.

[mythtv-users] stuttering playback with MythTV EPIA-M/networked
Hi, I am trying to use MythTV in a configuration where the backend is running on a central "media server" and playback goes via network on mythfrontend running on an VIA EPIA based box. Unfortunately playback on the VIA based box is stuttering, thus it plays well for half a second or so, then stops for 1/3 second (video and sound), then plays for another half a second, stutters again ... Don't take "0.5 second" and 1/3 second for exact figures ... What I have already thought about: - Problems on the capturing side: I can watch TV on the "media server" without any problems, so the backend side does not seem to be the problem. - Performance problems / failing MPEG hardware decoder (XvMC) I think this is not the problem since I have another box (Pentium III/700 without any hardware accelerated video) - when I try to watch TV on this second box I just get a very poor framerate all over the time but no stuttering like described. So I assume XvMC is basically online since without XvMC playback would rather resemble that of the other slow box. - network problems In order to make sure network is not the problem I tried various ring buffer sizes ... and I even tried starting TV, unplug the network and see what happens: It keeps playing *and*stuttering* for another few seconds (buffer) and then stops. So it seems that the stuttering is not caused by network problems since the buffer seems to be full and the problem does not go away during playback from buffer only. - any other idea Many thanks in advance for any hints!
