I had a smiliar problem with sluggish playback. Make sure that DMA is enabled on your CD-Rom and that should fix the problem.

Hi there everybody, I have deen fiddeling around with mplayer, xine and ogle like everybody else. On my last Myth installation (I have done quite a few now) Xine would'nt run so I went for Ogle instead. At first I had the same problem as everybody else with "sluggish" playback and after a while sound would go out of sync. After enabling DMA on the dvd with "hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc" Ogle ran beautifully.

So, could anyone please tell me how to enable DMA permanently for /dev/hdc?

Regards
håkan

how do i set Xine as my default DVD player.
I looked in the myth settings and cant find it, do I have to set the dir of it under or what
Location of DVD device:
/dev/dvd

or DVD player Command:
mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device %d -fs -zoom -vo xv

I installed both ogle and xine and set the command line to
xine dvd:// -dvd-device %d -fs -zoom -vo xv
and
ogle dvd:// -dvd-device %d -fs -zoom -vo xv
and neither worked.

The field that has mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device %d -fs -zoom -vo xv is a drop down list and has the proper commands for mplayer xine and ogle in it. just choose whichever one you want to use.

that's cool, but when you get that field highlighted and hit the right or left arrow keys it doesn't toggle through the choices? thats odd, of course I haven't messed with that since R4, and 0.12, but don't see why they would take it away.

Thanks to this thread I can now watch encrypted DVD's and use a remote to control them. My only problem is that I have no color in Xine. Everything is black and white. I had color in Ogle, but I couldn't get the remote to work. Any suggestions?

Update to my last post..

It seems I can change the hue and saturation within xine, and this will give me color. But when I exit xine and go back into it it's all black and white again.

Apparently the apt-get for xine-ui is broken for R4V3 (or maybe it's a more general Debian dependancy breakage since the last time I did this). Trying to install xine-ui results in:

The following extra packages will be installed:

Which leaves me without a working DVD viewer...

I also ran into this problem and couldnt solve it. Apparently libxv doesn't compile... :-(

You still can use mplayer, just without the menus. Unfortunately you can't use xine or vlc either, because they too depend on libxv.

Bye,

I had the same problem and used Ogle instead, DVD menus work fine but I haven't got lirc to work.

BTW, I had problems to get xine working with the previous KnoppMyth version as well but I did'nt investigate it that much, just used Ogle instead.

Maybee you have to remove xine first

This may help with Ogle and LIRC. I don't use Ogle, so I don't know... Good luck,

Regarding apt-get'ing xine and libxv problem, I did fix it on my last install, but I can't remember what I did, I know it had to something with the options, something like:
apt-get -f --force-yes install
I think I also deleted all the old d/l deb files so tha I forced apt-get to re-d/l them.
Good Luck

I've been poking at this on and off for a week now, and it seems that the problem is a more general debian one. Apparently a bunch of X related packages got updated causing some very nasty dependency cascades and conflicts. I'm about at the point of taking the hit and reinstalling R4V3 from scratch to get back to a stable point. :(
