Just got around to installing & setting up my Hdhomerun over the weekend. Connected it to a custom built Gray-Hoverman Antenna (which works like a champ so far).

Was able to setup Mythtv without a problem to recognize the unit, and was able to record some test shows. All the shows recorded correctly, but when trying to play them back on my HDTV all I get is a black screen on my 52" Sharp Aquos.

Frontend/Backend Specs.
Knoppmyth R5.5 (soon to LinHES R6)
Asus M2NPV-VM
AMD Sempron 64 3200+
CORSAIR 2Gb DDR2
Seagate 200 GB IDE
Seagate 1TB Sata
NVIDIA GeForce 6150
Hauppauge PVR500
Hdhomerun (2x OTA)
Sharp Aquos 52" #LC-52D64U via DVI-HDIM cable

I have been reading the following posts (some by tjc), but am unable to get anywhere past the black screen.

If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks

I vaguely remember some special tweaking is required for the 6150 embedded graphics but not what it is. If you're following my outline you definitely can't use the chromakey OSD with that, and there are probably one or two other differences.

What does the X server log say it's getting/using for modelines?

Perhaps if you pastebin your Xorg.0.log (the entire thing) and put a link to it here, someone might be able to help you.

Good call Greg Frost. Hope this works, haven't used pastebin before.

Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/f4941211f

Thanks

Sorry, I only glanced at your post to begin with. I dont think the problem is anything to do with your modelines because from what you have said that you have done (and from your Xorg log), it would appear you have a functioning 1920x1080 modeline.

What may be useful is the log output from mythfrontend when you attempt to play a recording.

Exit the frontend and get an xterm (Alt-X). Then type:
Code:
mythfrontend -v playback &> frontend.log
and post (or perhaps pastebin if it is huge) the frontend.log file after having attempted to play a recording.

Ran the suggest command to log the output of mythfrontend, then tried to watch a HD recording (Big Bang Theory- Great show).

frontend.log: http://pastebin.com/m7806a59b

Mythtv appears to have a problem with the buffer, but then again I am not entirely sure what I am looking at.

Code:
2009-09-30 21:35:45.687 [mpegvideo_xvmc @ 0xb7265e68]get_buffer() failed (1 1073741824 2 (nil))
2009-09-30 21:35:45.688 AFD Error: Unknown decoding error


thanks,

Well I see an obvious problem with the xorg.conf file. Having valid mode lines doesn't help if you don't use 'em... Notice anything missing here?
Quote:
Code:
   DefaultColorDepth 24
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth     1
      Modes "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth     4
      Modes "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth     8
      Modes "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth     15
      Modes "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth     16
      Modes "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth     24
      Modes "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth     32
      Modes "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubSection
EndSection


I'll give you a hint. Mine looks like this:
Code:
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultColorDepth 24

        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     4
                Modes "1920x1080_60i" "1280x720_60_0" "720x480_60"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     8
                Modes "1920x1080_60i" "1280x720_60_0" "720x480_60"
        EndSubSection

After some time, and tweaking, I am able to playback HD content with minimal effort. Tweaking my xorg.conf took a bit, but thanks to Martian letting me look at his settings I was able to get something working. The only thing I notice is black/white osd during playback, a bit of jitter when skipping forward & backward, and higher cpu usage.

For cpu usage my normal for SD content is around 20%, when playing HD content it jumps to 60-80%. I did have the system lockup once when playing HD while in the middle of recording.

Question now is do I stick with the onboard or move to video card that is VDPAU capable under mythtv v.22. I will have to check space requirements as the inside of my dvr is quite cramped.

Any suggestions?

- If it works (and you're happy with it) no need to fix it.

- If you're not happy with it, a VDPAU capable card will offload a lot more work from the CPU and may give you a color OSD again (don't know enough about this).

My FX5200 generally does a good job even on HD content, but it does occasionally struggle on live HD stuff. If that starts annoying me enough it'll get replaced, probably as part of a move to a smaller lower wattage system.

I wholeheartedly recommend using a vdpau setup if your hardware supports it - nVidia 8 or higher I think. I have a fast system but the smoothness of navigation is still noticeably better with vdpau. You'll probably notice even more of a difference on a single core system.

Also when I was running a test frontend on a very low end system, xvmc is extremely helpful if you can get it working. You must use the Grey OSD and bob deinterlacing for xvmc, though.

For reference, my:

slow system: VIA 1.2ghz, 512MB, hauppauge PVR-250
fast system: AMD quad 3.0ghz, 4GB, nVidia 8200, HDHomerun, running both front and backend

True with the 6150 that spideyk21 is using, but there are low end cards (mostly FX5xxx series like mine) that have the chromakey support for a color OSD with XvMC.

One more thing I forgot. Try going into the Playback settings and change the playback profile. If the setting is too high you can punish even the fastest machine when playing back HD.
