[mythtv] Mythfrontend Heap Corruption When Changing Channels w/XvMC

2005-04-29 Thread Donald Oakes
Hello, Whenever I change channels I'm getting glibc errors which shut down mythfrontend. I'm running Myth 0.18 built from tarred source on Fedora Core 3 using XvMC with NVidia's driver version 1.0-7174. I'm using firewire with 6200ch, but the errors occur regardless of whether I change

I've always found valgrind to be very useful in fixing this kind of problem.It also has a habit of turning up other problems that have not been exposedyet. Has anyone tried a valgind run recently? My myth box (Via M10k) is way too slow to try it out myself. Andrew

I work on embedded devices running Linux, which don't have the CPU horsepower or RAM (even less horsepower than your M10K, such as 200MHz MIPS chips) to run valgrind. I found that dmalloc (http://dmalloc.com/) is pretty good for simple situations of buffer overflows and missing buffers to be

Eureka ! I think I have tracked down the problem with the XvMC VLD breaking on channel changes with TS streams. I am no expert on libavformat or libavcodec, so some of the following may not be correct ... It appears that when the AVCodec is re-created on the TS stream changing PID's it fails to

[mythtv] What nVidia driver version is recommended for latest round of XVMC patches?

2005-04-29 Thread Ben Howe
I tried the latest CVS today, and XVMC playback is studdering quite badly. So I tried Apr 25th's CVS, and it, too, was choppy, but not near as bad as today's. So I was wondering if what hardware setup/driver setup was being used to test all these latest round of patches. Thanks, Ben

[mythtv] [PATCH] Add option to mythfilldatabase to change user

Hi, I run my backend as root. I recently switched from running mythfilldatabase as a cron job to using the internal method... it stopped working. The problem was that with filldb running as root, it didn't have the correct home dir set, and so it couldn't find the tv_grab_au prefs.

I've just bit the bullet and upgraded my Knoppmyth R5A12 system to latest CVS, hoping to get XVMC working somewhat better. Everything went fine, until I finally tried XVMC, and it failed rather spectacularly when going to play a program (though the previews seem to work, do those use xvmc?)
