[mythtv] [PATCH] pvr-350 performance patch - simplified

2005-02-02 Thread John Harvey
Attached is the re-worked pvr-350 patch. I have removed all the region update code so this now has an option to include installed ivtv header file in settings.pro and if its there it uses the BLT_FILL ioctl instead of the memset /prep_frame method. Some of the other code is re-organised to

I just changed my mind 3 times while replying. I suspect in the end you may be right since i want to get the driver to be able to update a rectangular region we could/should add an interface for that and then make the driver optimise that as best as it can. If i rework the patch to just do the bi

No its nothing to do with this. This patch just affects the performance of the OSD when watching live tv or a recording. It sounds like you are still using X to display the tv. The 350 support needs to be enabled in the setup/.../playback section and mythtv needs to be able to succesfully open play

I have X working on the PVR-350 output with the latest ivtvdev driver (v0.8) but I'm really confused with mythtv : I can't watch MPEG-2 recordings or live tv except sometimes at really poor framrate but xvid transcoded files are working, besides that the GUI of the frontend is displayed without

It isn't a massive difference now that most of the driver is stable and seems to cope with playing, recording & OSD updates, but it does reduce the amount of data transfered significantly which helps when something like when the new channel information is faded out after switching channel in live t

John, applied the patch to my CVS-build; all seems to work fine. Didn't notice performance improvements but then again, it doesn't seem slower either (speed you get used to, slowness not...). No errors, lock-ups or anything so far and I've tried using the OSD extensivelly. N. On Sun, 9 Jan 2005

The attached patch is a slightly cleaned up version of  a patch several people have been using with recent ivtv drivers. I have modified the original patch to   1)   Work with older ivtv code 2)   Have an option in settigs.pro to allow the inclusion of an installed ivtv header
