<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello to all, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been reading the archives on this list for a
while. I plotted, i planned, and finally managed to get the time/resources to
build my own myth box, following (more or less) jarrods guide. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The system is setup like so: amd 1900+, 512 mb ram,
onboard sound (SIS), Geforce 2 MX, plenty of ide/scsi storage,
and Fedora Core 2. (I was planning on using Suse, but my free Dvd kit hasn't
shown up yet). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here are the poblems i have (so far ;) )
:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Sound loops, i get about a 2 sec loop of
whatever channel i am watching, which repeats itself/amplyfies itself/echos. I
think this might be the buffer filling, because it goes away after a minute or
so. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Sound probs, part 2: Once i open the tv
module, the system will never close the connection to the tv card. I can
exit mythfrontend, kill the backend, even log out, and i get audio from
whatever channel i left it on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) Video/sound mux probs: Im getting the "dubbed
kung-foo movie effect" here, all the video settings are at 480, rtjpeg,
pretty much default options. I cant see anything that would make this
better. I have a Geforce 4 5200 video card in my main desktop at the moment,
which i suppose i could swap in, if i can figure out how to cleanly swap
them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any hints/ideas would be great. I need to get this
up and running before the wife gets back from vacation, to establish a high
initial wife approval factor (IWAF). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cheers, </FONT></DIV>
