Not sure how you tell what version the ivtvdev_drv.o you are using.
This is actually a knoppmyth setup so it has whatever they packaged with
Alpha16.
I kinda gave up on xine, and decided use mplayer which does not look
choppy at all. Using the command line:
mplayer -vo xv -fs dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/dvd
This works fine when I have my DISPLAY set to my SUSE box, but when the
display is the PVR-350 it does not play at all. Selecting dvd play in
myth makes the dvd rom light blink a few times but it never plays.
I am still playing with this to see if I can get it to work reliably
from myth.
