Re: [mythtv-users] HD3000/FC4 not working
How do I change udev?Right now my script just chmods /dev/dvb to 666 butchanging the udev makes more sense.Do you not need cx88-blackbird at allL?Here is the steps I usedhttp://pchdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=944 What's your data source?Antenna or cable?I am using pure OTA antenna. I do have an Athlon 2800+that I'm currently using for something else that I can draft into serviceas the mythbox.For the moment I was just doing a proof of concept withwhat I had lying around.Does your HD stutter at all? I don't have any HD stutter. I'm thinkinganother 512MB of RAM would probably help there. I believe this would help because when I look at my Which output from the video card are you using?Right now I'm watching on a VGA monitor buteventually I'm going to go DVI to my bigscreen TV.im using the DVI to my mits tv What do you mean?I haven't messed with sound much yet.What sound cardare you using?I have the onboard AC97 via for now, but plan to up that soon to get digital SPDIF.What I was finding is that there was severe jerkiness with the ALSA drivers on non HD digital content -Nick ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] HD3000/FC4 not working
I spent most of last night looking through the list archive and googling but still can't make headway with my setup. If I missed something please feel free to tell me to RTFM, as long as you point me to the FM. I'm setting up 0.18.2 on FC4 using an Nvidia 5200-based card and an HD3000 with an OTA antenna. The system is an Athlon 1700+ with 512MB of RAM and the latest FC4 kernel and nvidia drivers. I followed Jarod's FC how-to and I have myth installed and configured but a couple of things are still wrong. After a reboot I have to manually modprobe cx88-dvb then chmod /dev/dvb/adapter0/* so that the mythtv user can read the video card. (The latest HD3000 firmware is being loaded.) Once I do that, if I tell myth that the card is a standard v4l it'll pull in stations but the quality is far worse than with a TV hooked up to the same line. It won't let me do a channel scan when set as a standard v4l card and the audio is often out of sync with the video. When I set the capture card type as dvb it'll do a channel scan and find plenty of channels and they do come in very clearly, but they stutter a lot even though the CPU load is only about .75 and there is at least 100MB of free RAM. But it doesn't find most of the standard channels that come in (albeit fuzzy) in V4L. Also, the audio that comes through the HD3000 when in V4L mode isn't there in DVB mode. No TV audio comes out of the sound card, a chaintech 7.1, though Linux is able to use it just fine. It's possible that myth is sending the audio to the S/PDIF port but I haven't had a chance to check that yet. Any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated. -- -Jason - Jason K.

Looks to me like you hd3000 is working just fine, at least in DVB mode. Your problems now are mythtv/video settings and audio card settings. A good way to test this is capture a video stream and play outside of myth, with mplayer or something, and you may notice the playback is fine. And, I feel yor pain. I have a new Nvidia 5200 card and I get the same stuttering, only within myth, even with low CPU usage (see my current e-mails since last night). Nobody has been able to help yet. I pop my ATI 9600 card in - and everything is perfect. winmail.dat___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
