| Hi. I'm trying to find a way around a problem I have with my linux box (P4 3.4Ghz, 1GB of RAM, nvidia 6500 in PCI-Express x16) The quality of HD channels from my DVB-T card is terrible. It has loss of sync between sound and video, image will freeze for 1s at a time etc... Reading various web site,people it seems that the suggestion around would be to unable XvMC on the nividia. If I unable this option in Settings -> TV Settings -> Playback, change from default to XvMD, then trying to watch TV again will always give me a Core dump In the console, I see "Error: Could not open XvMC port ... You may wish to verify that your DISPLAY environment variable does not use an external network connection You may also wish to verify that /etc/X11/XvMCConfig contains the correct vendor's XvMC library" Of course I checked those config files and they contain the right library name I also set the variable XVMC_DEBUG=2 and I see in the console: "NV-XVMC (WARN): failed to allocate AGP DMA buffer NV-XVMC (WARN) allocated buffer DMA buffer instead NX-XVMC (WARN): failed to allocate subpicture in AGP memory I've tried various version of nVidia drivers as well as MythTV 0.18.1 and the last SVN version (including 20 minutes ago: revision #8724) I also tried with the OpenGL vsync option, but it made no difference Well, first I do not understand why my system isn't able to decode TVHD in software only, no doubt a 3.4Ghz P4 has enough guts to do so... While watching SD material, system is 92.5% idle, when watching HD material (or more accurately, trying to watch it, it's 95.3% idle) If you have any recommendations on how to get around this, that would be really appreciated.
