Post subject:  live tv, program guide preview video problem

While watching live TV & bringing up the program guide, the preview video shows only the top left piece of the frame, seemingly at full size, not a scaled version of the entire frame. This only happens on my FE/BE box, not my 2 FE XBoxes. Any idea where to check to correct this?

I have the same problem as Russ.

THe preview area is in the top left corner, but it does show the correct video.

I have this problem as well.. any time there is supposed to be a small preview window somewhere it is in the top left instead and is garbled. Any solutions to this ?

I've had this problem on and off on various boxes with various builds, but never had any luck resolving it. I haven't been able to find anything on this forum either. I'll dig around on the Myth users list too, but does anyone here know of a fix?

Its referenced in this thread:

and apparently has to do with video card drivers. I'm running on a Pundit PH-1 and using the video out from the on-board ATI X300 chip. I've tried both the vesa driver and the rev 8.27.10-2 ATI drivers with the same results. I may try some other versions of the ATI driver, but it was hell just getting this one to work.

Logs show nothing. Very bizarre!

I seem to remember something about the MPEG-2 decoder... Try switching to the other option in setup (under TV playback options I think) and see if that clears it up...

There's also a similar problem with thumbnail generation in the DVD menu generation scripts. Searching for "dvd thumbnail" may provide some more clues.

My solution was to switch back to GB-PVR which works flawlessly right out of the box and is incredibly simple to set up. :wink:

Nice troll coaxial. I'm happy to learn of new products, but that's not the way to garner positive support for a project.

Anywho, I tried all the various mpeg2 decoders with no luck. I can't seem to get any back versions of the ATI driver to install properly either, its VERY fussy, so hopefully the next rev of the driver helps.

Thanks for the input!
