[02:14] I just purchased this PC and need to update gpu to set up my first mythbuntu box (leaving DTV!). Need recommended NVIDIA VDPAU GPU?

This is master backend. [02:40] Hi - When I'm watching live TV and I open the program guide (m for menu and then choose program guide), I see the guide flash for a split second and then disappear.. if i press the up or down key, I can see the guide flash for another split second but it always disappears. oddly enough, last night it was working (after being this way for around 2 weeks). any ideas?

I don't think playing even hdtv requires more than an onboard intel can provide, at least with a modern CPU like in that machine [03:35] Want NVIDIA VDPAU for processing video on GPU instead of CPU [03:38] fair enough [03:40] hmm, I'm setting up a diskless htpc system that uses an nfs mount on my mythbackend machine for its root. It boots fine after I install a basic 10.04 setup with debootstrap, but as soon as I install mythbuntu-desktop it hangs when booting [03:41] * PacketCollision hopes it is a network problem and replaces the cable he's using [03:45] There's definitely something strange going on with nfs [03:45] has anyone ever heard of such a setup working? [04:02] at least I have an apt cache running, I can recreate the install in minutes [04:12] what exactly is video pts and dts inconsistent mean during mythburn? I have more then 500 lines of errors in my mythburn.log file [04:16] !help mytharchive [04:16] !help mytharchive For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number].

[18:50] IN doesn't make a whole lot of sense [18:50] multiple out only matters if you are setting up multiple displays from a single system, which AFAIK, is pretty rare in this space [18:51] But I would check the mythtv vdpau wiki and get something in the 2nd generation series [18:51] I've actually been looking for a fanless G2XX card myself, so let me know if you find one [18:51] !vdpau [18:51] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU [18:51] scott1, ^ [21:26] When I said "in" & "out" I was trying to say that I'm going to have at least three tuners, all possibly with HD coming in and wanted to cover the video with the GPU. Thanks for the link, I've read that page inside and out plus others. It just seemed odd that the cheaper & older cards have better performance. I guess I'll go with the GT220 or GT240. [21:35] Apparently I'm misunderstanding how the GPU/VDPAU works, is it only decoding as you're playing? I was thinking it was decoding as it came in from the tuners, feeling stupid now... [21:50] scott1: no problem. Easy to get mixed up.

Im downloading the 32 bit one now. [22:25] let me see if I can find out [22:29] con-man: yes... http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/amd64/mythtv-frontend/download is an example. [22:29] [packages.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu -- Package Download Selection -- mythtv-frontend_0.23.0+fixes24158-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb [22:29] but why download manually. [22:29] ? [22:33] Let the package manager, or better yet, use mcc to handle it all for you.
