[mythtv-users] MythShyte: One unhappy customer

Don’t know if this will help but when I had 512MB in my system (XP 2400,
Shuttle SK41G, Geforce FX5200) I would get some stuttering when the feed
first started, leaving Myth about 5-6 seconds behind live TV.

 

After swapping out the memory and replacing it with 1GB (2x512) I don’t get
any stuttering at all – and Myth stays at 1 second behind Live (which is to
be expected as it has to prebuffer *something*).

 

Might be worth trying – mythbackend and mythfrontend use A LOT of memory.

I am atill getting prebuffer pause even though I have done everything
recommended in the documentation pages:

 

* bought and installed a geforce card

* got xwindows working with nvidia

* upgraded machine to a P3-1Ghz. (not a celeron!)

* checked and reconfigured all of the TV settings under mythtv.

 

Mythtv on my system was build using fc3 and atrpms. So I compiled nothing.

 

Am I missing something crucial here, or is this just a case of sloppy code.
This project has cost me time and money to get a result that is no better
than "myth-shyte". After all, why would I now go and buy a p4-3.3 to watch
tv, when I can just plug in my P1 and do the same thing (without buffering
naturally).

 

Unless Im blind in both eyes and delusional, I think the next step is to
return to freevo aka bugvo and give mythtv the myth-skip.
