[mythtv-users] sound but no video

[Khanh Tran]

No, Xine is fine in MythVideo.  I'm talking about MythTV and how
sometimes I get audio, but no video when trying to play back a
prerecorded show.

Sounds like an Xv problem (restarting X resets Xv).  Are you using xine
with the -vo xv driver?  If so, check out the thread
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/72823 , which
references the thread http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1597
.

Khan, this may be your problem, too, if using Xv.  If you're using a
PVR-350 with the 350's TV out, it's not the problem, though (since the
350's TV out does not support Xv).

HTH.
