[mythtv-users] LiveTV doesn't work at all

[Piers Kittel]

Hello all,

I've been using 0.19 stable for a while now, after been using the SVN 
version for many months right until 0.19 was released.  I've always had 
problems with prebuffer pauses and jerks when the video started with 
only one frontend - all the others works fine.  But now LiveTV never 
works and I just get pages on pages about prebuffer pauses amongst other 
errors:

2006-03-28 12:07:17.404 AFD Error: Unknown decoding error

2006-03-28 12:07:17.497 GetNextFreeFrame() TryLock has spun 10 times, 
this is a lot.
2006-03-28 12:07:17.513 NVP: Waiting for prebuffer.. 6 
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

2006-03-28 12:07:36.755 Ignoring livetv eof in decoder loop

2006-03-28 12:07:37.098 VideoBuffers::DiscardFrames(1): 
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAALLLLLL

Playing back a recording on mythtv, watching a video via mplayer, or 
watching a DVD all works perfectly fine.

Am I doing something wrong or...?  I apologise if this has been 
discussed lately, but I haven't been following the mailing list as 
closely when I started using 0.19 stable.

Thanks very much for your help in advance.

Cheers - Piers
