Well, I got my MythTv box pretty much squared away. All the modules work and everything looks good. Now that it is stable I decided to get the latest cvs of the IVTV driver (I had an pretty old one) and lo and behold many of the problems I had with the driver are solved.
No more ghosting is resolutions less than 720x480!
Bitrate changing works!
Improved control over brightness and contrast.
All of these I can set via the test_ioctl proggie that comes with IVTV. The only issue that I am seeing is problems with sound when running at a different bitrate than the default. When I change the bitrate and view live TV, myth correctly reports the bitrate but there is some sound stuttering. When I changed back to 8000000 and 16000000 peak it goes away. I am not getting any rebuffering messages or any messages from myth at all.
I can use the same bitrate settings with mplayer by using "mplayer /dev/video0" That works fine and I get no stuttering. (It does take a sec to sync.) I can also cat /dev/video0 >sample.mpg and that plays fine.
Is anyone else having this with the latest CVS of IVTV? If not then it may be a soundcard issue or an issue with my build, in which case it would be an IVTV users group issue.
Looking for some direction.
Thanks.
