My <br />ghosting, when it happens, is pretty bad, sometimes enough to bin the <br />recording and try to catch a repeat.<br /><br /> I'll have to have a look at the ventilation, as (as I've said elsewhere <br />in the thread) I'm still on older ivtv drivers (CentOS-5) and Myth 0.24-fixes.<br /><br />-- <br />[neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature<br />[neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature<br />ls: .signature: No such file or directory<br />[neil@fnx ~]# exit<br />_______________________________________________<br />mythtv-users mailing list<br />mythtv-users@mythtv.org<br />http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users<br /></blockquote><p>I used to have ghosting, I managed to get rid of it by setting up the screen resolution correctly (720x576) in the recording profiles and by running a startup script to set some ivtv parameters whenever I reboot the box. The script is:</p><p> </p><p>#!/bin/sh<br />### BEGIN INIT INFO<br /># Provides: set_ivtv_params<br /># Required-Start: $network<br /># Required-Stop: $network<br /># Default-Start: 2 3 5<br /># Description: Set IVTV Parameters to remove ghosting<br />### END INIT INFO<br /><br />case "$1" in<br />'start')<br /> /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl temporal_filter=0 -d /dev/video1<br /> /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=720,height=576 -d /dev/video1<br /> ;;<br />'stop')<br /> ;;<br />*)<br /> echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"<br /> ;;<br />esac<br />exit 0</p><p> </p><p>This works for me, I'm in a PAL region, you would need to adjust for NTSC.</p><p> </p><p>You can actually test it by running the script while watching a live tv program, when you run the script the ghosting will disappear.</p><p> </p><p>Regards,</p><p>Dave.<br /> </p>
