Well further testing shows that the 720p HD channels do in fact work on
LiveTV, its just the 1080i ones that fail with
VideoOutputXv Error: CreateXvShmImages(): XvShmCreateImage()
However, even on the 720p my 2.0ghz Penitum M is pegged at 100% with 50%
going to mythfrontend and the 50% to X.
It seems like what I need is to do direct rendering instead of trying to
use xshm. Did I miss something in the configuration? Is that possible,
and furthermore can I get scaling done in hardware, its an Intel 915
graphics chip and the media players seem to be able to take advantage of it.
