How about the question? Does it show you the program if unchecked?

actually it hangs on "pause" , I can't get it playing anymore. It says "PAUSE" and I can see the timer keep going.

(not sure if my words are correct, not english fluent).

Commands with remote still respond but it does nothing except staying on PAUSE. I have to reboot to make it work again.


scott, if I'm gonna try unchecked.

after several tests, pause, skip forward, rewind , several times, it doesn't seem to freeze if I uncheck use 350 MPEG Hardware.

So do you have idea where it comes from?

Hi,

Beside the ivtv option, there were a couple of lines that go into the xorg.conf that helped. Should be on the Hints&Tips section.

Using the hardware decoder, it plays nicely on an old 600 mhz box

Nothing definitive, sorry.

You should be able to send a recording file directly to /dev/video16, without MythTV running, and have it display. Something like this, from an xterm window:

Pick a file name that ends in .mpg from the list and then:

In addition to verifying the xorg.conf file I would make sure that the capture card isn't sharing an interrupt with anything else. You can check the interrupt mapping by doing this:

Hope this helps.

I get this error message in frontend log.



any ideas what is the problem?

searching for a solution on google I found this thread http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/36482#36482

There is a patch for 350 TV Out for MyThtv. I can try.
But I don't know how to patch and what do I have to patch? Can someone help me?

It should go something very much like this. First, change to the directory where your MythTV checkout is (where the mythtv and mythplugins directories are). Then:

Beware: While the thread you referenced is promising, I haven't tested the result.

How can I know if it's patch or not?
I followed your instruction but I can't be sure it's patched or not.

I don't know if patch was applied or not but it changed nothing for me.

But I unchecked "Sticky keys" from Setup/TV and now I can rewind and forward and pause without any problem. I tried checked again to be sure and the problem came back.

So I have to leave it unchecked to get it work!
Maybe I have to wait for next release!

That patch is only if you are using a newer version of the ivtv drivers. If you are not, then it won't for for you.

I've installed 0.10.5. it's not the last one?

The latest for 2.6.18 and below, but it isn't the latest. Whatever the issue you are having, that patch you applied won't help to resolve them. If fact, if you do resolve them, that patch will mask any success you may have had. R5F27 will be released in about 2 hours. You can auto upgrade to it. Barring hardware issues, the 350's TV out should work.

ok thank you for explanation. I'm gonna wait for next release. It should be easier for me. (even if it works with Sticky keys unchecked).

The patch is for ivtv-0.10 and later, particularly. KnoppMyth R5F1 uses 0.10.0, if I recall correctly?

I've since tested the patch. It seems to work better, though what I normally have a problem with is not normally so severe as zetoune.

Good news on R5F27! Thank you and thanks to everyone who helped to make it happen!
