I'm a Linux and Myth newb so I don't know much. I've got an XP2600, 512MB
DDR400, GF4 video w/xvmc, 3 PVR150s, JFS LVM for storage, ASUS A7V600 MB
using Knoppmyth R57C which uses Myth .19
Video playback and menu response is fine on the backend box.
I can use WebMyth and click on a previously recorded program from another
machine on my network and the video plays fine.
If I use the Knoppmyth cd to run a frontend the video is choppy and the
menus scroll slowly around .5 sec and selecting shows in previously recorded
or delete recordings is very slow 2-3 seconds to respond. I've tried it on
several machines from a P4 1.7GHz with 1GB RAM to my AMD64 3700 laptop also
with 1GB of ram.
I also tried installing myth frontend from atrpms on FC5 on the laptop. The
video is ok but the menus are still very slow.
I am using wired connections everywhere at 100Mb half duplex. The videos
are all MPEG2.
Backend CPU usage is almost none (0.3% or less total) according to top when
playing video on a remote frontend.
Any ideas where to start? Thanks, Joel
