Re: [mythtv] SVN8501 LiveTV via firewire

2006-01-05 Thread Jeremy Muhlich
Is it really swapping which jack it outputs video on, or might some state just getting reset when you unplug/replug the cable? Can you replug into the same jack instead of swapping and get video again? Note that when the linux1394 code references a "port" it really means "host adapter". I.e. if

[mythtv] development practices (regarding current live tv situation)

2005-11-09 Thread Jeremy Muhlich
Isaac, why didn't you create a branch to do your disruptive live tv work? "You should subscribe to mythtv-dev if you want to run the svn head" isn't a good enough reason. Branching in svn is really, really easy and would have avoided a lot of problems here. -- Jeremy _

Re: [mythtv] Blue screen in playback (SVN 7442)

2005-10-13 Thread Jeremy Muhlich
That blue is the xv color key, on which the driver normally overlays the video. Once or twice I've done something to hose the nvidia driver such that it won't render video and I get the same blue screen, but no errors are emitted. Rebooting fixed it. If you can fully shut down X and unload/reloa

I think that's the closed captioning data and such. You need to change to a video mode with overscan. :) -- Jeremy On Thu, 2005-05-19 at 10:51 +1000, Damion de Soto wrote: > I've always had a single row of white pixels with flickering/moving black > segments > across the top of my screen.

[mythtv] cpu optimization idea

2005-03-30 Thread Jeremy Muhlich
Would it be possible to split out the cpu-intensive parts of the video display code into a separate lib/plugin? Then the build process could compile versions for many different cpu families, and cpu detection could take place at runtime instead. This would at least improve the performance of bina

I'm not sure it's mythtv's fault, as the test_mpeg tool from the linux1394/iec61883 package exhibits the same problems. (I think it's test_mpeg; I don't have access to my myth box right now and the linux1394 svn repo is currently unresponsive) Does anyone here have suggestions as to where in raw1
