I am using RA15.1 and find that if I fast forward, rewind or pause a recording for any length of time MythTv locks up and I have to reboot, just killing the front end does not work as the last displayed picture remains on screen and when i reload the frontend where there should be a graphic I just see the last picture showing through.

Also finding that going from the guide back to live tv or a recording gives me a black screen and I have to press the info button to get the picture to reappear, this is really frustrating.

Is anyone else experiencing this? any suggestions as to what I can do to resolve the instability issues or is it just like that?

I am using the pvr 350 for tvout.

Once these bugs are ironed out it will be perfect
Any help appreciated

well pvr350 tvout is problematic, but I don't think everyone had as many problems as you are describing, but I can tell you I use nvidia tvout, and no xvmc and my box has none of those problems. it is rock solid unless I decide to go tinker with new ivtv versions or some hdtv stuff. Basically any crashes or lockups are of my own making.

would updating to the lateswt ivtv be worth while doing? also do you not find the output from your nvidia card washed out and not very sharp?

sounds like an ivtv-fb issue. before upgrading to more recent dev versions of ivtv, read recent discussions on the ivtv-dev list to see if they're currently adding or removing bugs to the tv-out.

I find my nvidia tvout just fine, but then again I am using vga -> component converter at 720p. when I was using the svid output it was slightly washed out, but with some tweaking not too bad, but you could still tell it from cable pluged directly into the tv.
