[Bug 550173] Re: Live tv using PVR-500 unviewable

 

I've replaced the firmware files with those from the ivtvdriver.org
site. No change detected (I think the firmware files are identical)

Did a reinstall of the system to make sure I've got clean configs, setup
the card again.

The same problem:
Viewing /dev/video0 with VLC produces a good image, playing TV with mythtv is choppy and unwatchable. After trying to play with mythtv, VLC can't play the stream either (same choppyness as in MythTV).

Does mythtv apply some special (buffering?) settings before starting tv
playback?

Please find mythfrontend log below.

Live tv using PVR-500 unviewable

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythtv

I'm running MythBuntu 8.10 without a problem.
Upgrading to 9.04 or 9.10 causes my livetv to be very distorted and basically unviewable.

Today I attempted a new 10.04 beta install to see if anything has changed. My problem persists.

What I find strange is that when viewing my /dev/videox directly using VLC, I can view the channel perfectly.
However, when I first try to view a channel with MythTV and then try to view it using VLC, I get identical problems on the channel.

On the other input on the same card, if I haven't used/tried that in mythtv yet, I can use VLC again without a problem.
The errors VLC gives (when first viewing the channel with mythtv and then VLC):

I would think this is not driver or kernel related, since playing TV directly from VLC works. Once I try mythtv, I can't play TV (decently) using any program from that point, untill a system reboot.
