<div>I want to let everyone know that I have no problems viewing HD with XVMC. I have an AMD Athlon XP 2500, 1 Gig ram, Nvidia FX5500. I had HD going smoothly for about 7 months but at some point last summer, I experienced some issues after upgrading either kernel, nvidia drivers, myth, I can't recall, but from memory, here's what I checked before determining that /etc/X11/XvMCConfig needed to be properly tweaked:
<br><br>- Since I use Gentoo, ensured that xvmc was in my USE flags<br>- Made certain X was using the nvidia driver and not the default nv driver in xorg.conf<br>- In an xterm session, checked my X server had xvmc enabled (xdpyinfo and look for XVideoMotionCompensation in the list of supported extensions
<br>- Review /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors (or maybe did a startx and redirected to a file)<br>- Review mythfrontend console window output.<br>- In one of these hunting expeditions, I saw an error about xvmc libraries so I was now onto something.
<br><br>In the
end, I had just about everything set up (including enabling XvMC in mythfrontend). The only thing I did was to create the file /etc/X11/XvMCConfig which contains one line: /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1. For good measure, I rebooted my system just to make sure everything was properly re-initialized. Boom, I was able to view my HD recordings perfectly.
<br><br>I hope I help steer some of you in the right direction. I share your pain.</div></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for the details, unfortunately I'm still stuck. I've played with the settings in nvidia-settings, I've played with openGL Vsync, I've recompiled to make sure everything es enabled, I'm using the XvMCW libs, I've put the full path to the libraries in /etc/X11/XvMCConfig. All produce the exact same output.
<br><br>Maybe this is something we can take to the dev list? It's working in mplayer so it seems like a myth bug.<br></div><br>Just to see if anyone finds a correlation, <br>OS: FC6T3 (although had the same problem on FC4)
<br>Kernel: 2.6.17-1.2630.fc6 (again, I've experienced this throughout many kernels)<br>Driver: nvidia 8776<br>Arch: P4 2.26 GHz i686<br>GPU: Nvidia GeForce 6200 and 4200<br>MythTV: SVN 0.20.20060828-3<br>I'm also running TwinView at the moment but have had this problem without it.
