[mythtv-users] PVR-350 TV and native Recording smooth, Transcoded and other video choppy

[Paul Fielding]

Ok, I dunno where else to look.  I've searched my brains out and tried just about everything.    Using:

Knoppmyth R5A22
SP130000 motherboard
PVR-350

ivtv kernel 0.4.0
ivtvdev - not sure what version, but not current. Found at:
http://membres.lycos.fr/badzzzz/ivtvdev_drv.o.gz

- PVR 350 is enabled in Mythtv

SYMPTOMS:
- Watching TV gives crystal clear playback.
- Watching untranscoded TV recordings is clear.
- Watching DVDs gives extremely poor framerate
- Watching transcoded recordings gives poor framerate
- Watching downloaded mpg videos gives poor framerate

This is all happening through the PVR-350 tv out.

I've tried everything under the sun I can find from a million different sources, and right now I'm simply amazed I haven't completely cratered my mythtv installation.   

I tried going to the latest ivtvdev drivers, but when I do it fails with the following:

(II) v4l driver for Video4Linux
(II) IVTVDEV_TST: driver for framebuffer: PVR-350
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(WW) ivtvdev: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:20:0) found
(EE) No devices detected.

Note that my card is at 0x14 (which translates to 20 I believe)

Switching back to the older driver works fine except for the frame rate problems listed above.

Any thoughts?

Paul
