Provo with mythtv-0.21 and Hardy

I have an old Compaq P3 system that has been running Dapper and myth happily
for two years, using a PVR-150 tuner card. I am preparing to go HD (I
ordered an HDHomeRun, and build a new BE/FE) so I decided to upgrade to
Hardy and myth 0.21. I saved the database, installed Hardy (on a second
disk, so that I can always go back, it help with the WAF), copied the
recordings and restored the database. I can play all of my old recordings,
but when I try to run live TV, I get an error
"X Error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) 11
Major opcode: 140
Minor opcode 19
Resource id: 0x0"
and it plays sound, but only a blue screen.

If I try to play the file with vlc, it fails with the same error. If I make
a clip using cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg, and try to play that it also
fails. I went to /var/log/messages, and is shows that everything started up
fine

This sounds like an Xv error, with the video card having insufficient
memory to display the size video you want. Does it happen in mplayer
too? Will mplayer play with -vo x11 but not with -vo xv? (-vo
specifies the Video Out method)

If that is the problem then the remedy seems to vary from unfixable to
various fiddling in xorg.conf, depending what video chipset/driver you
use. I tried to help a friend in a local LUG with this recently and
ran against a brick wall on his chipset (sis, laptop).

Yea, I just tried, and it plays fine with mplayer -vo x11 but not at all
with -vo xv. I guess what I still don't understand is why old recordings
work just fine, but newer ones don't. Maybe something changed with the
recording settings in newer versions of the pvr-150 driver?

Thanks for responding.

Re: Provo with mythtv-0.21 and Hardy [In reply to]

what graphics card do you have?

I had assumed it was because you are now using Hi Def and the bigger
frame size was stretching the system too hard. Or is this happening on
the older system?

It is happening with the old PVR-150 card on the same hardware. That is
what surprised me. Maybe the newer version of myth is using the PVR-150 at
a higher resolution than it did in older versions.
