I'm trying to get myth running on a PVR-350 and am having trouble with 
video playback.  I have X running over ivtvdev fine but when I try and 
play a recording in myth it stutters really badly and I get this in the 
frontend logs.

I am running a fully patched Fedora Core 2 on a M6000 EPIA and a svn 
myth build from yesterday.  My ivtv version is 0.3.8 from at-stable.

Has anyone run across this before?

Thanks,

Trevor
