When viewing HD content, my CPU is pegged and it's a little jittery. I get a bunch of "NVP: prebuffering pause" outputted to the terminal that started mythfrontend.
<br><br>I tried enabling xVmc, but should I use "Standard xVmc" or "VIA xVmc"? I'm currently using standard.<br><br>Some posts said you need to compile xVmc support into MythTV. I used Jarod's guide, so I installed Myth via yum. Is it enough to set the xVmc setting in the mythfrontend?
<br><br>I'm currently using the 8756 nvidia driver, but previous used 8762. 8756 is, according to the wiki, the currently suggested driver.<br><br>Below are the outputs of mythfrontend and mythbackend<br><br>System Specs
<br>P4 2 gHz<br>512 MB RAM<br>nvidia 5200<br>Avermedia A180<br>
