[mythtv-users] distorted audio for .nuv files

[Eyal Lebedinsky]

The newest nuv file I have is from mid 2014, so I do not often watch these recordings.
I now find that all nuv files produce only a very loud hiss and the video is slow.

mpg and ts files play just fine. vlc and mplayer play everything clearly.
I fiddled with the frontend audio settings - no change.

I am on (almost) up-to-date fedora 30. This is a standard (7yo) desktop, using the onboard audio.
I consider my setup very vanilla.

Testing on another (10yo) PC shows the same problem. Both systems were upgraded from f28 (mythtv 19.1) last month.
