Dear mythians, I'm running mythtv 0.17 on an up-to-date gentoo linux using kernel 2.9.11 and ivtv 0.2.0_rc3-r3. I use a PVR 350 to catch the TV signal, and am living in PAL country. My system runs a P4 2.4 GHz on an Intel motherboard featuring the 865G chipset (i810 graphics).
I'm experiencing flickering video: most of the screen flickers between a white-green- reddish box (mostly white, some stripes and black boxes in the middle) and the actual image. The OSD seems to be working fine. I was previously recording with a LiveTV profile with w480xh480. Then, the lower 40% of the image was flickering. As soon as I increased the height to 576 (to match PAL and to maybe stop the flickering), all but the topmost 5-10% of the video started flickering. I don't see any of this when running mplayer. However, when I run mythfrontend, watch TV, switch back to the menu and then start mplayer, mplayer shows the same flickering until I shut down mythfrontend and restart mplayer. The flickering is then gone again. Has anybody else experienced this? I had neat video and audio before I made a number of updates (among them: new kernel, new xorg-x11, new ivtv release) and some (unimportant) config changes. Unfortunately, I made too many changes at once to recall them all (ahhh...newbie mistake :-)).
