[mythtv-users] Internal video player?

[Svante Olofsson]

Hello,

First of all, thanks go to all devs that have made MythTV what it is!

And then to the problem :)

I have been using MythTV 0.18.1-r1 on an athlon 1500 (with a 2.6.14 kernel and 
Gentoo) for half a year, with no problems at all. I am using a usb-dvb card 
for watching tv. I even got my wife to agree, that we had no need for the old 
VHS anymore :)

But, the update-demon got a hold of me, and I updated the system... After the 
update (lots of stuff and mythtv 0.18.1-r2), I could no longer watch live tv 
nor recorded programs (shows?). I got audio buffer overflow in the logs, and 
found out that the cpu was running at just under 100 %. I had no problems 
with cpu before the update.

I can record programs with myth, and watch them with mplayer outside of myth, 
without the cpu going over 15 %. I can also watch the device directly with 
mplayer with the same cpu usage.

So, can anyone give me any directions on what to look for? What is myth using 
to play live tv and recordings?
