Re: [mythtv-users] I'm getting TV-Out Flicker

The playback doesn't stutter or pause. What I see are white lines shooting across the image. The lines are broken up. Best I can describe it as small white checker boxes randomly shooting across the screen. You can see the image clearly, the white checkerboxes are just very distracting. It's almost like what one would call "static" on an analog TV signal. What resolution are you recording at? I found since ivtv 3.8 when recording at 640x480 I would occasionally see a mangled frame. There are links to an example mpeg and screen capture here: http://ivtvdriver.org/pipermail/ivtv-devel/2005-December/001432.html I strictly use 720x480 and have not seen any mangled frames since. I am currently running ivtv 4.0, I have not upgraded to 4.1 to see if there is any change. Hmm, does this describe the behaviour you're seeing? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I've been playing with Mythtv because it's so sexy looking and I'm thinking about switching. I'm using the SIS driver (sis_drv.o). When I play videos from freevo, using mplayer, or xine, the videos play just fine using the XV video overlay. I can play them from within freevo or outside freevo and the video is clear. However, when I'm not running freevo on the box, the videos from mplayer introduce flicker on the tv-out display.. mplayer -fs -vo xv -ao oss .mpg; created by pvr-350 with ivtv drivers. I only get flicker when: a) I use the -fs option b) freevo is not running If I run mplayer -fs when freevo is not running, I get flicker. So, it appears that freevo does something to X? or the video driver (I'm using sis_drv.o) to resolve the flicker on the tv-out? Does anyone have any ideas which might explain the flicker? I realize that "flicker" is hard to describe. When you say flicker, do you mean the playback stutters or pauses? I'm not able to cut-over to mythtv until I figure out the flicker issue. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
