I had this issue with when using NVidia 7667 drivers, and MythTV 0.18.1.

Re: [mythtv-users] XvMC output not working
I just wanted to let people on the list know what I did today that finally got my system to the point where I could watch 1080i recordings without XvMC on my system. Opengl-vsync was killing the system. Myth usage was acceptable, but X usage was 30-50 percent of CPU, which made me consider opengl vsync. After disabling opengl vsync, xvmc there were still some occasional issues on 1080i, but nothing on 720p. Turning off the usage of libmpeg2 for me solved all issues then. It works fine both either with kerneldeint or bob turned on or off now, and CPU usage will hover around 70-80 percent for a 1080i recording. It hovers around 50 percent for 720p. It hovers around 10-20 percent for SDTV. I should also notate, I have the ondemand governor enabled on my CPU to prevent that loud fan from staying on at full power. When the CPU usage isn't 100 percent or near, then it downclocks the CPU as low as 1 Ghz and scales as appropriate when needed. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

If it doesn't have that by default, please try to figure out why the configure script isn't working on your computer.

RE: [mythtv-users] XvMC output not working
I'm sincerely glad that worked. As I said I got somewhat flaky response out of Xvmc until I enabled this option... Ever since then it's been stable as a rock. Another thing to make sure of is that your capture card (I'm presuming you're using a Hauppauge or similar) is producing an actual valid Mpeg2 stream. If it's using RTJpeg/Mpeg4 then the Xvmc won't do the hardware decode, it'll decode in software. If you're using a BTTV based card, then I'm afraid I won't be much more help as I'm not familiar with it. Isn't the default in Myth to use RTJpeg with dumb capture cards?? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mario Limonciello Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 10:02 AM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] XvMC output not working Gavin Haslett wrote: I had the exact same problem with my setup running a Geforce MX440 card.

RE: [mythtv-users] XvMC output not working
Hmm... Was this compiled from source or a binary package? If the former, try recompiling. If the latter, try reinstalling. Sounds like SOMETHING is corrupted. Are you seeing anything pointing to possible memory problems in /var/log/messages? Could actually be bad memory in your box that's throwing you for a loop. Final possibility; the video card is going bad. It sounds like we're getting into the realms of a possible hardware problem here. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mario Limonciello Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 6:06 PM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] XvMC output not working Gavin, Unfortunately looks like this was just a temporary fix.

Isn't the default in Myth to use RTJpeg with dumb capture cards?? lol, the laughs you give me by reading your response, dumb capture cards. I'm using a hauggpauge card right now, but in the process of adding a firewire input into my setup. Several different stations are doing different formats for the digital cable out here, and I can handle 720p without xvmc, but 1080i just dogs its way through without it. Few more days and I'll have this all up and running - i'm psyched now. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] XvMC output not working
Well XvMC was working for me just last evening. I had to restart X this morning for some reason or another, and now it is again not working with that same BadAlloc error. What can be causing these anomolies? That was the same giveaway for me this morning too, the color OSD. I would think my machine should be able to handle HD without xvmc, but it can't. Athon64 3200+ 1 Gig PC3200 Ram Asus 68V SE Deluxe Nvidia 6600 GT Gentoo Linux 2005.0 (Compiled in 64 bit) I'm completely taxed and lagging away on hd without xvmc in myth. It plays fine with about 90 percent cpu usage in mplayer. With xvmc I'm at about 60-70 cpu usage (when its working). That's weird cause my frontend is an Athlon64 3000, 512megs, the videocard is a cheap 6200 PCI Express card and using the soundcard on the motherboard I can get by without XvMC. I'm running Centos 4 but that doesn't really matter much and I'm running a build of 2.6.12-rc3. I'm running a variation of a 2.6.11 kernel, however I really doubt that would be the cause. I'm using an audigy 2, so I would doubt that would be it either. Hmm well I'm not sure what to think. My XvMC is similarly intermittent. At first it consistently fails, then suddenly starts working; at that point it will continue to work until I terminate that particular X session. I also have an Athlon64-based machine; I sense a pattern here. Perhaps a word-size difference is causing an uninitialized field in the XvMC implementation or client protocol exchange? I tried enabling XvmcUsesTextures, but it had no effect. FYI, my system (Athlon64 3500+, MSI K8N Neo Platinum, 1GB PC3200 RAM, GeForce FX5200 AGP 8x) can display 1080i live TV in Myth with about 66% CPU utilization using Xv, and about 33% CPU utilization using XvMC. I'm running SuSE 9.2 with a 2.6.11.7 kernel and using the 1.0.7174 nVidia driver. - Paul Milazzo ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
RE: [mythtv-users] XvMC output not working
I had the exact same problem with my setup running a Geforce MX440 card. I added the following to my Device section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf; Option XvmcUsesTextures true Double check you're using accelerated nvidia drivers, and make sure your xmvclibs are up to date. Works like a champ for me, though a little flaky on my motherboard due to what I suspect are DMA problems (will report back on that after an upcoming mobo upgrade) Hope this helps!

You may wish to verify that your DISPLAY environment variable does not use an external network connection. Every time I try XvMC, these are the exact same things that happen. I'm currently on the latest drivers available on the ~amd64 tree on gentoo, which happen to be 7174. I am also on xorg 6.8.2-r1. I have read a little bit about needing an /etc/X11/XvMConfig file or so, but no such file exists (at least on my system). Also, opengl does work fine for this card as an opengl sync for myth or for video games. My Related hardware: Athlon64 3200+ Asus 68V SE Deluxe Pny Nvidia 6600GT Gentoo Linux 2005.0 ~amd64 I do run myth cvs usually, but I have tried 18.1 as well. This problem isn't myth related because I can reproduce similar problems with mplayer when trying xvmc.
