Post subject: | pvr350 and jitter in PAL land |
G'day all, I thought I had got rid of this. Has anybody got suggestions on how to remove it? What their X*4 config looks like? What their capture setting are. I think I understand jitter, but I am not sure how to get rid of it... |

G'day all, A reboot seems to have cured it! <shrug> |

I've got the same problem here (PAL, Germany). The TV picture jitters after some time. After reloading the firmware (ivtvctl -H) it seems to work for the next hours. At the moment I'm running the PVR350 with the latest Firmware version from ivtvdriver.org (http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware_versions) on KnoppMyth R5A26. Does someone has an idea how to fix that? |

Hi Marcel, Quote: I've got the same problem here (PAL, Germany). The TV picture jitters after some time. After reloading the firmware (ivtvctl -H) it seems to work for the next hours.
This is a funny observation. After what time exactly does the jitter occur? Jitter is: stopping video at irregular intervals for less than a second, sound goes on, right? Is jitter disappearing spontaniously? Is there any proces running during the jitter? On my system I have (what you may call) a jitter when I manually run mythfilldatabase during watching live TV. After mythfilldatabase is finished, the jitter disappears. So reloading firmware might be a pseudo solution after all. Sorry, only curiosity here, no solutions ![]() Fiete |

Happens to me too. PVR350 card, PAL, using card for both TV input and output. The mythbox runs constantly, with about 5-6 hours of watching TV/recordings on it per day. The jitter seems to happen every 2-4 weeks. It's always been cured by a reboot for me (sometimes multiple reboots). My dad complained that it was happening for a few weeks before I came home from uni, and he couldn't fix it no matter how many reboots he tried. But then I came home, and first reboot I did fixed it. So it's fairly inconsistent! Amorya |

How about this thread?: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7369&highlight= Summary - turn VBI off, and maybe commflagging? |

G'day all, Thought I would give a bit of an update and some other thoughts. The jitter is still there on occasions, BUT, it usually only happens after I have had to reboot. Sometime the only way to get rid of it is to cold boot and leave the the box off for a bit, this points to a hardware issue with the pvr 350, to me. The choppyness is in playback not rec. I copied the file to a win box and watched there without choppines. I also experience hard lock ups. It seems to happen when I am watching a rec. prog. and a new rec. is about to start it just stops. The backend also stop on occasions, it is still running but not doing anything anymore, looping? I can go to another box and I get a PHP error when using the webscreen. The lasttime I had a lockup when watching rec. prog, I swiftly moved to another box and could still ssh in, soon after the network dropped! All is all not very reliable, all hardware is new, loads of disk space, I have run memtest etc. I am in the process of putting a webget to the main page and a look for and error and bounce the backend when it gets an error. Also looking at a hardware watchdog to bounce the machine when it dies. Does not fix the problem but gives better WAF. ![]() I am runing R5A22, I wonder if that is the problem? Failing that I will go and get another m/board for the tier 1 list and move hardware, I am in need of another MB and maybe this will fix the issues? stinga |
