[mythtv-users] PVR-350 tvout questions

[Jacob Dockter]

Just installed MD5 and am tweaking a bunch of stuff.  I have a PVR250 and a
PVR350 and am using tvout. Everything is looking good but I have a ton of
questions.

 

1 - How does the last screen of Setup - TV Settings - Playback (PVR-350
Hardware Decoder Settings) affect the new playback profiles?  I have the
option checked to use the PVR-350 tv out.  Do I need to change the
applicable profiles to use a decoder of "pvr-350 decoder" and make sure the
video renderer and osd renderer is set to ivtv?  What if I don't?  it
doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

2 - What is the minimum screen resolution MythTV supports?  I'm trying to
get all the menus in the frontend visible (not in the overscan area) and
have the XDriver configured for 640x400 but a lot of the bottom buttons on
the config menus can't be seen and the OSD looks terrible.

3 - In this post:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/34529#34529 it mentions
that mythtv uses the framebuffer not the XDriver for OSD.  Is this still the
case?

4 - What is the future of the QT paint engine?  Will the OpenGL paint engine
be the only thing that MythTV uses in the future?
