ls,

   I've setup an FC5 (2.6.18-1.2200.fc5smp) system containing a PVR-250
running mythbackend (0.20-143.fc5.at). The frontend is a MediaMVP running
mvpmc (0.3.1). The ivtv version is 1:0.8.0-121.fc5.at.

   My problem is as follows: After setting up the correct video width
and height (PAL: 720x576), mythbackend resets these to 480x480 after
starting a LiveTV session from the mvp.

[root at nlxth001 log]# service mythbackend stop
Stopping mythbackend:                                      [  OK  ]
[root at nlxth001 log]# v4l2-ctl -v width=720,height=576
ioctl: VIDIOC_S_FMT
[root at nlxth001 log]# service mythbackend start
Starting mythbackend:                                      [  OK  ]

	Size Image    : 131072
	Colorspace    : Broadcast NTSC/PAL (SMPTE170M/ITU601)

[root at nlxth001 log]# v4l2-ctl -V

#
# Now stop the LiveTV session on the mvp....
#
[root at nlxth001 log]# v4l2-ctl -V
Format:
	Type          : Video Capture
	Width/Height  : 480/480

	Colorspace    : Broadcast NTSC/PAL (SMPTE170M/ITU601)

How can I change this behaviour? Or: where are these sizes defined
in mythtv or in mythconverg?

Thanks, cu l8r, Edgar.
