Post subject:  R6 Mythvideo question

Hi,

I was looking at using the new R6, but had a question concerning Mythvideo.

The system I would be using is an ASUS mobo, AMD 4850e chip with an Nvidia 9500GT.

I tried Mythbuntu with the VDPAU patches and it worked fairly well, but the Mythvideo always gave me issues.

I have a couple of DVDs that I copied to the videos directory, not modified, the entire DVD structure.

1. On Mythbuntu, the playback was OK, but if I fast forwarded or skipped to the next chapter, the playback would speed up for a few seconds and then play normal. Also, at some points during the playback, it would skip (hard to describe). I eventually turned to mplayer for the DVD playback (which had no issues), but not really what I wanted.

2. For some reason the bookmarking didn't work either with DVD's. I had it configured correctly (or so I thought), yet when I would stop a DVD, it wouldn't start where I left off.

Any issues like the above with R6? I see it isn't that difficult to get VDPAU working!

Thanks for any help you can give.

I'm not sure what program you were using to play the dvd files, maybe internal myth player.

I use xine for iso files and dvd's and have no problems.

xine, mplayer and the internal myth player all install with R6. It's just a matter of choosing which one you want to use in the setup.

I've seen no issues w/ issue 1 or 2 with LinHES. While there is a mythtv w/ VDPAU backport for LinHES, commercial flagging with it doesn't work.
