Hi I hope someone can answer my questions. I have a Via EPIA-M board and i want enable the CLE266 chip for better DVD playback. A normal installation mythtv setup is working for the TV part, but the DVD playback is terrible, and that’s because the cpu is used to 100%. (I have enabled DMA on the DVD and hard drive.) So after reading plenty of documents and forums, I have decided to optimize the kernel and use the CLE266 driver for better DVD playback. I have a PVR-350 board but you can’t use (what I know) the mpeg decoder/encoder for DVD playback only TV-out. This is the main part of the HTPC Knoppmyth R4V4.1 Via EPIA M1000-N PVR-350 Question 1 Can I use the patch-2[1].4.25-epia2 on the knoppmyth kernel(linux-2.4.25-chw). Question 2 If I can patch the kernel, and use the \usr\src\linux\.config is there something else I must think of? /Mattias ![]() |

well actually you can use the pvr350 for accelerated playback of dvd's, it's just a pain to configure. If there is a kernel patch you should be able to apply it to the knoppmyth kernel, however the last I heard all the mpeg2 accelerated drivers for the epia boards were only released as binary modules, and those modules won't work with the knoppmyth kernel. Like I said that was last I heard, and as I don't have one of these boards I have not been following it closely. |

And no were can a found were to enable acceleration for the PVR-350/DVD and xine. If you know were, can you point me were to go.

Well what i have read the drivers for CLE266 is working with knoppix/debian, and i suppose the Knoppmyth and knoppix is using the same kernel with some twekins. /Mattias ![]() |

knoppmyth kernel is similar to those, but it is a completely custom kernel, like I said if it is a kernel patch or any sort of source code for that matter you should be able to use it, however if it is binary module then it is just a crap shoot trying to use it in any other kernel besides the exact one it was compiled for. |
