[mythtv-users] Decoder timed out waiting for free video buffers

[Klaus Becker]

Hi,

when watching tv with MythTV under Debian unstable, my computer becomes 
unusable for a long time and I get the message above. I found a lot of 
discussions about that on the web, but I don't understand everything.

I use a NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] graphic card with 256 MB 
memory, do I have to buy a another one with more memory? My computer has 
8 GB memory.

If so, which card to buy? I don't play on my computer, so I don't need a 
high-end graphic card, just one working well with MythTV for some years 
to come.

I have no problem while reading videos with other programs like vlc etc.

sincerely

Klaus
