How to deal with jerky live tv ?
(1/1)
archived:
Hi,
I've read this mantis bug :
http://plutohome.com/support/mantis/view.php?id=822
I also have jerky mythtv live tv, but not so much knowledge what to check ...
Could you please contribute what to check when live tv is jerky ?
Also :
- what does ""generic before chipset-specific" driver loading issue " mean?
- I've read somewhere that mythtv is suggesting older NVidia binary drivers - do current NVidia binary drivers in Pluto work for you ?
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Rob.

Hi all
just to be sure about the meaning of "jerky" :
do you mean that when looking at live tv image is not stable but it keeps "bouncing" up and down for say 3-4 millimeters?
Do you also mean that colours are weird?
Do you mean also that when pausing live tv the steady image is ok with proper colors?.
If so, well ... I also have jerky live tv and I'm banging my head since a couple of weeks to have it working fine.
As I'm totally new to MythTv I don't have that much idea on were to start for troubleshooting and I'm searching on forums to get some clue, but up to now I couldn't find any solution.
I started to have this issue with latest release of Pluto, say that up to middle of january live tv image was ok.
Currently I'm using ivtv 0.4.3 with kernel modules, I have a Hauppauge PVR 350 on a EPIA M10k and according to what I read around this configuration should work (i.e no particular hardware incompatibilities are known).
If any of you expert guys can give me a hint on this (saving me some time investigating ... :) ) I would really appreciate.
Thanks and regards

Hi,
not Engslih native, so maybe I'm misusing terms. I have problem that Live TV every now and then freeezes for fraction of a second, and after some prolonged issue it freezes completely - Mythtv can be turned off from another Orbiter...

Hi Rob
currenlty I'm not using intensively MythTv (because of the problem that explained in my previous post, and that I will refer as "jerky"), nevertheless I've also noticed the same behaviour that you are reporting (that I would refer as "freezing").
So in the end I can say that I have both "jerky" and "freezing" issues.
Anyone else has issue like these, and (most important) anyone has some ideas on how to solve them?
TIA
Marco
