[mythtv-users] smooth video

[Dennis Hand]

 >Hi,

>I'm having a small issue with getting my video to play smooth in both mythTV 
>and xine. I expect it's not directly related to mythTV or xine but rather 
>something on my system.

>When I play TV/recordings or any file/DVD with xine I first set my X to a 
>framerate that is appropriate for the format (50Hz for PAL or 59.97 , 71.9Hz 
>for other formats). I'm using a CRT projector with RGB and V/H sync and have 
>my Nvidia FX5700 connected directly to this projector, which should be 
>optimal.
>I don't see tearing so I think the Vsync is OK but do see very small jumps 
>which are well visible in fast moving images.

>I'm using FC4 with standard kernel (latest I think) and use most packages from 
>ATrpms, except xine which I compile mostly myself from cvs.

>Does anyone have tips ?

>Regards,
>Marcel


Hi Marcel,
I think I remember someone posting on this and the fix was the 
-V xshm option. Like so:

xine -pfhq -V xshm --no-logo --no-splash %s 

Good Luck
Dennis
