I'm experiencing blue lines on the top and left portion of my tv when I playback video. I've done some searching and have found what I think will be the solution; however, I am soo new to Linux that the instructions seem too complicated.

Here's what I've found: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... light=blue

I'll copy what XSecrets posted:
Quote:
create a file called colorkey with this in it.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 0



place it in /usr/bin and chmod 755

then edit /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/apps

and add make it look like

Code:
[startup] {colorkey}
[startup] {KnoppMyth-run}



then /etc/init.d/gdm restart

and everything should be good.



My problem is that I don't know how/where to create a file. Furthermore, I don't know how to place it in another place.

If someone could please get me started on the right foot, i think i'll be able to get it.

Thank you

I went through this yesterday, and I just put the command directly in in ~mythtv/.fluxbox/apps
So it looks like this:
Code:
[startup] {xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 0}
[startup] {KnoppMyth-run}
Worked a treat! Thanks XSecrets.

Probably the easiest text editor to use would be nano.
    Exit MythTV so that you see the penguin on the couch.
    Hit Alt-X to get a terminal window.
    Click into that window and enter "nano NameOfTheFileToEditHere"
    Make and save the changes described.
    Reboot.

Thank you very very much! That helped me understand a lot more. Now I still have the issue because I always seem to get an error message after I enter something in the console.
