Stuttering

UrbanNightmare - see this post for some info that might help you get rid of the stuttering. I mythfrontend-0.17 (with mythvideo and mythdvd) on Gentoox without any issues. Since upgrading to 0.18 I've had problems, but I think they're on the way to being solved.

Mythtv and Gentoox (some tips you might like to know)

[ *UPDATE 2005.04.30* ] Sadly: Couldn't get XvMC working (compiler errors). Mythfrontend wasn't fast enough without it. Conclusion: STICK WITH MYTHTV-0.17 untill someone with more time than me sorts out the issues and fixes the 0.18 ebuild. If at all possible, USE NVNET rather than forcedeth for ne...

Giving up... going back to nvnet

Well, I can't get this thing going. Switched back to the nvnet driver. Working fine.

If anyone DOES manage to get usable throughput with forcedeth, drop me a line!

No go with 2.6.11.7

Couldn't help myself. Compiled 2.6.11.7, but still no go. 750Kb/s throughput. Not good enough :(

Orochi - are you implying that you get normal (read 8-10MB/s) throughput on your 2.6 kernel xbox through the wired LAN adapter? Can you confirm this using a real-world benchmark (file copy or something... not netperf or similar)? That would tell me I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Looks like the 2.6 forcedeth driver might be the problem...

Hi guys, Well, I finished the "emerge --newuse world", with no success. I really should have THOUGHT the issue through before firing off the blunderbuss, but hey, it happens. It would seem the problem is network performance (all my mythtv recordings are accessed over an NFS share): Did a &...

Success, albeit with some wierdness

A week ago I (successfully) finished rebuilding my gentoox box (formerly running Pro-1.4), and am now running a 2.6 kernel . Here's what I did: Installed a new 160Gb HDD (after duplicating old C, D and E "partitions"). Used XBpartitioner to initialise new F "partition". Installed...
