Hi all. I'm brand new to MythTV, so please be gentle...
I've purchased a pcHDTV card and am having one problem, and one newbie
question. First my system:
Athlon XP 2500 Barton, 512MB RAM, Gentoo based system running vanilla
2.4.23 kernel with pcHDTV patches.
MythTV 0.13. Nvidia FX 5200 graphics. Nvidia X driver with glx
enabled. NO IR yet, so everything is via keyboard.
The pcHDTV card seems to work reasonably well under mplayer - at least
when mplayer isn't complaining about /dev/video32 not existing (a reboot
fixes it).
Under Mythtv, I get a lot of "prebuffering pauses" - like one every
second, which appears to cause the video to pause for a 1/4 second or
so. I'm also getting "audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!" messages
like crazy. None of which would bother me, but all I get from the
speakers is a rapid "drrrrrr:" sound. My first day with the card had
sound kinda working - it was VERY choppy, but currently nothing but what
almost sounds like a 60 Hz buzz. Again, under mplayer, the sound works
fine.
OK, the above is the problem, now the newbie questions:
1) TitanTV shows me as having 3 PBS digital stations on channel 39 (9-1,
9-2 & 9-3). I have MythWeb up and running, how do I program those
sub-channels into the configuration? Is that the recpriority field? If
so, should I use 0,1,2 or 1,2,3?
2) Mythfilldatabase always shows it filling the analog channels, yet
MythTV Scheduling shows the digital channels per my MythWeb editing.
Should I just ignore the Mythfilldatabase output?
Thanks!
Kevin C.
