I updated to this week's CVS (downloaded 2 days ago, installed tonight)
and have the following problems:
MythVideo: Browse Videos doesn't work... won't change from first video
and it's not a filter problem. Video List works fine.
MythTV: Severe performance penalty with the recent update. I can't find
a livetv setting that doesn't drop frames! I usually run RTJpeg and had
perfectly smooth video, but after update it would drop frames every half
second or so... I switched to MPEG4 and tried tweaking the bitrate and
when I set the bitrate up to 2200 after about a minute of watching live,
the backend crashed. Right now I have it back on RTJpeg, but set it to
480x480 (used to run 640x480) and a lower quality setting than I'm used
to, just so I can watch - and still it periodically drops frames.
Capture card is TV Wonder VE, on an AMD 2400 XP, 512 MB RAM.
