[mythtv] Problems getting Mythtv to show a picture.

[mythtv-dev@snowman.net]

I played with the sample settings with no luck, I finally found
out one of the problems.  I started looking through the output of strace
and realized it was opening /dev/dsp and hanging.

I killed artsd and it now gets past that point.  I'm still unsure why xmms
can open /dev/dsp and other programs can't when artsd is running.

Now I'm getting an error about Xv.

Sometimes I see a window flash on the screen, sometimes not.
xvinfo still shows what I pasted in a previous email.

#mythtv
Probed: Television
Probed: Composite1
Probed: S-Video
Probed: Composite3
Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
using rtjpeg
strange error flushing buffer ...
problem setting sample rate, exiting
Couldn't find Xv support, exiting

I'm guessing my old nVidia is junk and I need to upgrade to a newer better
supported card.  I'll try to pick up an ATI 7500 this weekend and see if
it's Xv support is better.
