Hello all. I've got a AMD 2500+ with a 120 gig HD and a pvr-250 backend and
myth .17. Everything works great on the backend and was in use as my
primary frontend for over 6 months. I recently got an xbox for use as a
frontend. I installed GentooX MCE 1.2 (using evox/mce.xbe) and upgraded the
myth from .16 to .17 with no install problems. Live tv works great at
720x480 at 5600kbs video and 384 mp3 audio. I can use a nfs share to watch
ripped dvds with no skipping using xine or mplayer (I prefer xine). The
only problem I am having is with recorded tv shows. No matter what bit rate
I use (transcoded to mpg4 or not) it pauses for two seconds plays for two
then pauses again repeat until stopped. There really isn't much difference
between live tv and playing a recorded show so I'm not sure whats going on.
Any one have any idea?
Stephen
