The 500 will still take up the external slot positions
of 2 PCI slots, even though it only plugs into 1 PCI
slot _per_se_. So, is it really such an advantage?

I know this has become OT (sorry), but the attached
files are what I use.
There are 2 perl scripts:
1) sshwall, which is run during system startup (as
root). It sets up iptables for whitelisted ssh access
(ssh only, by default), and daemonizes so it can scan
for new ip addresses to add (by looki
Since we're talking about solutions, I'll describe
mine. I have two basic servers on the home network,
and various client machines. The main firewall blocks
all incoming ports except 22 and 80 (and of course
those used in normal NAT operations).
One server is the main one, and all port 22 and 80
I have the following in mythfrontend's log file, which
are the last lines before the frontend just up and
crashes (leaving the window manager still functioning
sans mythfrontend):

In agreement, my setup uses .11g, with the mythbox
connected via cat5 to a Belkin AP/bridge, connected
using WPA encryption to my Linksys wireless router/AP.
I also have laptops (running ubuntu) that connect via
the version 300x Belkin PCMCIA cards (which use the
Ralink rt2500 chips) to the same n
I have the WD and a 200Gb version of the Seagate.
Both are pretty quiet as hard drives go; I don't think
there's a huge difference between them. My Seagate
died about 2 months after I bought it, and the company
sent me a new one. Because of that, I'm a bit happier
with the WD.

I'm not sure if this belongs in mythtv-users or ivtv
mailing lists, but in any case here's the question:
How can I use the raw frame capture function of my
PVR-350 within myth?
This is what I've done:
1) Changed the ivtv module loading to add the option
"yuv_fixup=1". Apparently, this is needed
This is my routine:
ivtv installation:
1) Get the latest drivers (ivtv.tv/releases) and
unpack the tarball.
2) Descend into the "driver" directory. In this
directory, type

(I generally do these as a reg. user). FWIW I also

If you are using the tv-out of the 350, you need to
use the latest ivtv versions (0.3.7+) to play mpeg4
files.It works for Myth, xine, and mplayer (I
haven't tried it with mplayer). The hardware decoder
on the 350 only plays mpeg2 video with mp2 audio. The
framebuffer in 0.2.0-xxx versions is
If you are interested in saving time and work, then
knoppmyth ( http://mysettopbox.tv/ ) is the right
choice. That's the only way you are going to get a
good "out of the box" experience in myth right now.
My myth stuff is in SuSE but I would *not* recommend
it for a Myth box. It's only because t
I'm using the PVR 350's encoder to record programs in
Myth. I'm also transcoding recordings in the
background to mpeg4. (The new xv/yuv support in ivtv
is amazing.)
A problem I'm having is that many shows have an audio
delay (audio is delayed w.r.t. video) when they've
been transcoded, but not b

I am interested in getting maximum compression without
losing too much video quality. To that end, I tried
checking out the effects fo the 4MV encoding with the
mpeg2->mpeg4 transcoder. (I believe my digital cable
box uses mpeg4 with 4mv, if I understand 4mv
correctly. I occasionally see blocks
I don't know how much of a solution this is, but you
might try hitting the "m" and "n" keys while playing
in kaffeine. This is supposed to adjust the
audio/video sync by an offset in xine. Of course, I'm
assuming this will work in kaffeine, which is supposed
to be based on xine, so the keys might
OK, how do you get it to stream? When I ran the fe on
a laptop, it didn't stream recordings automatically; I
had to nfs mount the store directory.

I can't directly help you with your oproblem, but
here's a suggestion I use (for NTSC non-HD content):
I let it do the comm flagging as usual. I have the
player set to "do nothing" when encountering a break.
I use the "Z" and "Q" keys (mapped to teh remote) to
skip commercials, once the commerci
If what you are talking about is like this:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/139706
then I know what you mean, but I can't offer any help
except to not use seeking in Live TV. For me, at
least since 0.16 when I started with Myth, jumping and
skipping generally work fine but seeki
Just a WAG: make sure you are using the correct tuner
type. Try a tuner modprobe command like "modprobe
tuner type=xx" and try different values (or change it
in the modules config files). I think 39 and 47 are
common. (Uh, also make sure your antenna is plugged
in to the correct input. ;) There
AFAIK, the 350 output drivers don't encode VBI data
(only decode), but I could be wrong. I have no
problem showing the subtitles from .vobs in xine using
xine's own subtitle rendering, but that's just xine
using the framebuffer for output. (I don't know how,
but vobs play pretty darn well on the
FWIW, when I tried the latest X drivers for xv, I got
weird colors, flashing screen, the wrong vertical size
screen (looked like it was for PAL - I'm in NTSC
territory), and half the scan lines looked black.
Otherwise it worked great! ;)
I'm still expecting it hasn't been fixed for NTSC yet,

The fact that the PVR output as a framebuffer is slow
is reasonably well known. The only reason the mpeg2
pipes to the PVR350 work so well is they are piped at
a small bitrate to a decoder which then expands the
mpeg2 streams.
Having said that, for some reason I get very good
performance playback
