[mythtv-users] xvmc-blit not available - should I be worried?

[Oliver Maunder]

Hi

I'm using mythfrontend on a VIA EPIA EX10000EG. Unfortunately (and probably
due to the dodgy VIA drivers) the whole system freezes whenever I try to
watch live TV or recordings. I'm trying to get to the bottom of this and saw
the following in the output from mythfrontend --verbose playback:

2007-10-12 17:22:24.388 VideoOutputXv: InitSetupBuffers() render: xvmc-blit,
allowed: xv-blit,xshm,xlib
2007-10-12 17:22:24.388 VideoOutputXv: Desired video renderer 'xvmc-blit'
not available.
                        codec 'MPEG2' makes 'xv-blit,xshm,xlib,' available,
using 'xv-blit' instead.
2007-10-12 17:22:24.389 VDP: SetVideoRenderer(xv-blit)

I've got the MPEG2 decoder set to "VIA XvMC". I'm using the SVN from a
couple of days ago, compiled with --enable-xvmc-vld.

It looks like the xvmc renderer is being ignored and xv is used instead. Is
there any reason for this? Why isn't xvmc-blit a valid choice for the MPEG2
codec? Does any of this actually make any difference or am I just being
distracted?

Thanks for your help

Olly
