I upgraded to ivtv 0.4.0 on the mythtv machine today. For whatever reason(s), /dev/lirc has disappeared again and udev doesn’t seem to want to put it back. At least the myth backend is all working.
It looks like using mplayer -vo x11 with the new ivtv_fb (PVR-350 TV-out) gives vastly improved output; I didn’t notice dropped frames in the few minutes I had to look at it. However, there’s now an audio sync problem that I’ll have to look into. For people who just watch, record, replay and delete it’s not so important, but I want to transcode all my “keepers” to a smaller format and watch them using mythvideo.

I’ve been using the same mplayer command for mythvideo, and I’m too experiencing audio sync problems. I found by clicking pause-pause really quick, I can get them in sync, and won’t even really notice the actual video pause. I don’t remember if it slides out of sync again.
Please let me know if you figure this one out – because I’m finding myself using mythvideo a lot, now that my mythbox has enough CPU power to run mplayer!
thanks Shade.
