[mythtv-users] OSX frontend mouse?

Within the MythTV frontend on my mac the mouse becomes invisible and inoperable. At first I thought that was just how MythTV worked, but then I happened to access the frontend over VNC from a Linux box, and the mouse worked! Can anyone tell me how to get the mouse working on my MacOS frontend?

[mythtv-users] Playback performance [all platforms]

I notice that the performance of playback seems to be suboptimal. For example, I captured some HDTV video over firewire using MythTV. When I try to play it back using the frontend, it is totally unwatchable. The action occurs at about half speed because of stuttering and includes frequent pauses

Re: [mythtv-users] question about RAID

If your goal is performance, and you are running a typical PC with only 1 32-bit PCI bus, then watch out for saturating that bus. You can get no more performance than the single PCI bus can deliver, after that more drives give you more space at the cost of performance. You would have to g

Re: [mythtv-users] liveTV using 100% CPU

Well for the time being I've solved the problem by simply not loading "GLX" in my X-config file. Crude but effective. My CPU load is down to around 5% from the 95% that it was. Still groused about the kernel thing. I guess one could use a 2.4 series, but Gentoo does not support them on the

Re: [mythtv-users] liveTV using 100% CPU

I'm running 0.18.1 on Gentoo as well. Also on Nvidia. I recently tried upgrading to 1.0.8178 from 1.0.6629. That also brought me up to 100% CPU usage when watching pre-recorded TV, standard definition digital. I downgraded, and all my problems are solved, Mythtv wise. I only upgraded to see wh

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Lost Sound on PVR-350

Thanks for the pointers John. This system *was* working fine with kernel 2.6.13.2 and ivtv 0.4.0. I unsuccessfully tried to upgrade to 2.6.14.4 and ivtv 0.4.1. When that failed, I tried rolling back to the previously working config but *still* have no sound on playback. John Harvey wrote: So

Re: [mythtv-users] liveTV using 100% CPU

Probably a good idea, I think I'll see what the Gentoo folks say, but my options are to either build it outside Gentoo's "portage" system or hack that system to build something other than what it thinks I should. Both of these actions have got me into serious trouble in the past. Probabl

I have posted a patch that allows you to run the MythTV backend on MacOS: http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-dev/2006-January/043373.html So far, it only supports recording of MPEG Video over firewire. If you download the linked .bin file and treat it as a patch to the current MythTV SVN state, i
