xvmc, but Myth does not. I've tried everything I can think of. This is my
last big hurdle. It stinks that Myth is so finicky with xvmc while xine
seems to work easily for most people. I'm very interested to hear if you
have any luck.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=429344415-04012007>On a slightly different topic, is anyone getting good
quality HD playback *without* XVMC on a P4 3.2 Ghz or less? If so, do you
have HT enabled or disabled? (I've tried both). I thought this should have
worked. I think my limiting factor is the PCI video card, but that's all my MB
has. I think the on-board video is AGP, but it's only VGA and I need
DVI. If I cannot get XVMC to work in Myth and others report that this
processor is capable of HD, my other option is a new MB and AGP video card
and re-use the rest of my hardware. A quick search on newegg shows I can do that
for about $90.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Myth .20<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">
<DIV>Hello,<BR><BR> For Christmas I bought myself my
first HD tuner. It's a USB tuner Hauppauge HVR 950. I built a
separate backend and have successfully configured it and have made a few test
OTA recordings.<BR><BR> My frontend is a P4 1.6Ghz
machine, so I definitely need XvMC for any hope. I have the binary NVidia
drivers, version 9631 installed and am currently running at a 1280x720
resolution. I've had no luck trying to get XvMC to work in Myth. I'm
thinking next of trying the SVN versions, although I really don't want to mess
with my backends. Will I cause problems running the current SVN on the
frontend but .20 stock on the backends?<BR><BR> I just noticed the
release-20-fixes in SVN. I think I'll give that a shot.<BR><BR>As to what
I've tried so far:<BR>XvMC works in Xine. If I do an strace of Xine, I see
it load the libXvMCW wrapper, read the /etc/X11/XvMCConfig file, and then load
the libXvMCNVIDIA_dyanmic.so.1 file. In Xine I can play my new HD
recordings without studder or any other problems, both 1080i or 720p. So
I'm fairly confident that the NVidia stuff is setup right.<BR><BR>./configure
--enable-xvmc<BR>Set the options to Standard XvMC, tried with various and no
deinterlacing options.<BR>strace shows mythfrontend loading the XvMCW wrapper,
but never even attempts to read the XvMCConfig file or load the Nvidia
library. The OSD display is gray so it's using some sort of XvMC, just not
NVidia's I don't think.<BR><BR>./configure --enable-xvmc --disable-xvmcw<BR>It
shows that it's linking to XvMCNVIDIA in the make output, but when all is said
and done, ldd of mythfrontend does not show it linked to the library.
strace fails to show any attempts to load the XvMCNVIDIA library.<BR><BR><BR>A
bunch of other stuff has been tried too, but I had to stop messing around as my
wife wanted to actually use the Myth box :) But I was having fun
tinkering.<BR> I've tried various changes in nvidia-settings and
xorg.conf, but since myth isn't even trying to use the driver, I don't think
anything else really matters.<BR><BR>And thanks for everything to all of you who
do so much. We love the
MythTV.<BR><BR>Billy<BR></DIV></DIV><BR>__________________________________________________<BR>Do
