First question:
I am using a PVR-350 on FC3 and am using xine with MythVideo and MythDVD in
order to get the DVD menus. When I use MythVideo, I am getting a large
amount of dropped frames. When I run xine-check, everything is good except
the following:
[ hint ] Your X server doesn't support YV12 overlays.
[ hint ] Your X server doesn't have any XVideo support
I have been looking on google, and I see a few listings that say xv does not
work on a PVR-350, but I could not tell how old the posts were. Is this
still the case? Is there anything else I can do, or am I going to have to
either get a new TV-Out card or switch back to mplayer to use MythVideo and
MythDVD?
Second Question:
I set X to run on the PVR-350's TV-Out using jarod Wilson's sample xorg.conf
file here:
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/xorg.conf-PVR350.txt
I only edited the PCI bus ID and frame-buffer device lines to match my
system. The MythTV gui is displayed fine, but KDE is a bit too large. What
lines in xorg.conf can I play with to change the size of the display?
Third Question:
I'm trying to set up the wife-friendly power button script from Jarod
Wilson's Tips 'n' Tricks page. Now, if I hit the power button when Myth is
running, the frontend shuts down as expected, but if Myth is off and I hit
the power button, the frontend starts up twice. I tried shutting down Myth
and then manually running mythpowerbutton.sh, and it only starts once.
Does this have something to do with the repeat line in the Power Button
section of .lircrc? I have tried moving it up and down, but it doesn't seem
to change anything. I do not have the Power Button section twice in my
lircrc file.
My Power Button section looks like this:
# Power Button
begin
prog = irexec
button = OFF
repeat = 4
config = /usr/local/bin/mythpowerbutton.sh
end
My mythpowerbutton.sh script looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
PROG=mythfrontend
STATUS=`ps -e | grep $PROG | grep -v grep | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ $STATUS -eq 0 ]
then
( $PROG & )
else
killall $PROG
fi
exit 0
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with any of these issues.
