<DIV><SPAN class=083204313-12042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I downloaded and
installed MythCVS the other night, and some things work much better, but I've
got some pretty major quirks. I'm running an nForce2 chipset, Athlon XP 2000+,
one 350, and one WinTV Go card, Ivtv 10pre2, ivtvdev X driver. Watching
live TV seems to work okay, with very low CPU utilization, usually less than 1
percent. When I bring up PIP it pins the processor and both screens chop
up, and sometimes I have to restart mythfrontend. It seems to record two
programs simultaneously okay, however when I go to watch a show that was
recorded under the WinTV go card, mythfrontend freezes and I have to
restart. I don't see the CPU spike while this is happening.
Sometimes the entire box crashes and I have to power down. This also
happen sometimes while watching recordings, while two recordings are going
on. Anyone seen this kind of thing before?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
