[mythtv-users] CLE266 hardware mpeg

[Jelle Kalf]

Hi Russel, (again)

I checked the blade5 webby a bit better and found a link to a redhat howto:
http://www3.sympatico.ca/howlettfamily/epia/epia.html
And specifically about the hardware mpeg2 decoding:

Good luck,

Jelle Kalf

P.s. I have a Nehemiah machine If forgot to mention that somewhere.

Hi Russel,

I'm working on an epia-M as well. I haven't tried it since I bought the
machine last Saturday. But Tako Schotanus in this mailinglist has more
experience with it.

I'm using Gentoo Linux for my VCR. Currently it seems my machine has
compiled everything just as it should and also the hardware mpeg driver
seems to be working. Do know that getting gentoo installed will take you 2
days straight compiling ;) but it will offer up to 20% speed advantage as
apposed to RedHat. That's because I compiled every piece of optimization I
could find for the epia-m board.

Don't just use xfree stock btw. Do install the special via-drm drivers to
get a better performance on your Xfree.

I'm running a 2.4.23-pre9-epia1 kernel. Http://blade5.bvu.edu/wiki/ has all
the patches to patch a vanilla 2.4.22 kernel up to 2.4.23-pre9 :)

Hi,
   I was wondering if someone could summarize there working epia-m with
hardware decoding.  there is little documentation and I can't seem to get it
working.  Currently I am running redhat 9.0 2.4.20-8.  It's mostly the stock
kernel,  just trimmed down a bit.  Stock xfree and
CLEXF40030 files.   I don't really care what version of kernel or linux
I use.  I am unable to watch live tv right now without really crappy
resolution.  I've tried to compile myth from scratch with the cle266 enabled
but it doesn't seem to be any different.  How can I tell?

Thanks,
	Russ
