Okay, I need some help getting my playback settings working. I can't
seem to find settings that work.
I got the recording side of things working (with the HD cards and
such), but now I can't get the frontend to play them. It stutters a
bunch. I can play the files from mplayer fine though.
Setup:
Master Backend:
P4 2.4ghz
1gig ram
2x Pinnacle HDTV pci cards
multiple drives.
Slave Backend/Frontend
P4 2.8HT
1gig Ram
1x Hauppage WinTV-Go Plus (bt878) pci card
Nvidia GeForce4 Mx 4000 128mb
I have a NFS share to /mnt/myth (my recordings dir) setup, but
currently myth isn't aware of it.
When I play the files through the frontend (and I've tried ALL KINDS
of playback profiles) they're all stuttery and at first I thought it
was network lag, but when I run mplayer from the command line, it
plays them just fine. Anyone wanna give me some pointers? The roomies
are joking about getting a dish DVR as a backup for when I upgrade.
We haven't had a working myth system in a week... and my bt878 card
STILL has audio sync issues... but I think that might be resolved
with a new kernel, the pinnacle driver problems were resolved by
upgrading from 2.6.22 to 2.6.24 (had to compile it myself though).
