 |
|
Here is the screen shot http://www.xdreamcs.com/xgl/nestedxgl8.png
Note the cpu usage (averages about 70% mythfrontend + Xgl )
I've noticed with just regular plugins cpu stays under 1 percent usage, the water plug in can use 90%
The cpu use doesn't seem to change going fullscreen, but the video quality without xv gets some minor+ pixalation.
Took awhile to find out how to disable xv
do something like this
| Code: | | NO_XV=1 mythfrontend -geometry 800x600 |
I just happened to find this parameter somewhere in the myth wiki/docs, on how to take screenshots.
TV is perfectly watchable. My system is laptop 3700+ 1 Gb ram , Ati X600 Mobility Radeon (M 24)

Wow, so you finally found some tv app that actually works with XGL? That's great! I'm going to try it!
Many thanks

You have plenty of power so should be no problem. I havn't played with dual core / dual processors sounds like fun.
Would like to hear your story on how you make whate processor do what, especially on the cpu intensive stuffs

Well, there really is no story  Either the softwar is multitheaded and can use both CPU's at ones, or it's not, and it can only use one CPU...
But if you do multiple things: watch 1080p video and emerge, while cubing in XGL, it will also be of advantage. Or when deinterlacing, you'll have plenty of CPU power left for other tasks. You won't even notice
Sadly, I can't check mythtv right now.. I'll have to get rid of nvraid, and need to backup my disk to another over smb... Takes ages, even on a direct Gbit link

You sir, are a god. The lack of mythtv my xgl desktop was driving me nuts. |

I'm using KDE and MythTV with Xgl, I was wondering if you found any nice way to make MythTV go fullscreen over the kicker?
I do have it working great with the geometry argument, but it seems that the kicker is set to be ontop of everything else by default, and no matter what I do I can't let MythTV go fullscreen. This wasn't a problem with using Xorg-X11, so I assume it may not be something I can change in KDE. |
