Migration back to native hardware completed and the problem's solved. Thanks, kmdewaal

Ouch yeah I have high numbers, in the thousands, for all recordings. Damn, guess I’ll be moving the backend out of a VM into the hardware then

Gordon says the signal quality is decent.

I've been running MythTV for about 20 years, most of it successfully, most of that time with DVB-T, currently through two USB recceivers. Recently I did some consolidation of services at home onto a server running docker and KVM. I've put my backend into a KVM virtual machine and ever since, recordi...

I should have fiddled before I posted

One of the entries in was:
So I chose that and after using to put the volume up to full, that now works well.

Reinstallation did the trick, thanks. I didn't even need to do the GLES link. I can't get the IEC958 audio to show up in setup/audio, but I'll work on that another time. Like in https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?t=582 I had to choose a different audio device, but then ALSA:default vanished and ...

I removed that package as I did have it installed, then ran: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /usr/share/mythtv/lib/ pi@raspberrypi:/usr/share/mythtv/lib $ sudo ln -s /opt/vc/lib/libbrcmEGL.so libGLESv2.so pi@raspberrypi:/usr/share/mythtv/lib $ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 8 18:40 libEGL.so.1 ->...

Under Setup > Appearance > Theme / Screen Settings, Paint engine was set to Qt. Setting it to Auto hasn't made any difference; those are the only two options for that setting.

G1 and G2 seem to add the vc4-kms-v3d and vc4-fkms-v3d overlays in config.txt. The first of those has this to say in the README: "Running startx or booting to GUI while this overlay is in use will cause interesting lockups." Something else got messed up; taking those out of config.txt (ie. returning...

I'm on Raspbian 2017-11-29, confusingly from the http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/raspbian-2017-12-01/ folder. The options I have for GL in raspi-config are: G1 GL (Full KMS) OpenGL desktop driver with full KMS G2 GL (Fake KMS) OpenGL desktop driver with fake KMS G3 Legacy Original n...

I did install from mythtv-light. I did not knowingly activate "Experimental OpenGL" - where might I check this? Nothing else installed, this was a fresh Raspbian Stretch install and then your packages. pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/debian_version 9.3 pi@raspberrypi:~ $ grep myth /etc/apt/sources.list ...

I knocked the GPU memory back to 256M and do have the codec enabled: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ vcgencmd get_mem gpu gpu=256M pi@raspberrypi:~ $ vcgencmd codec_enabled MPG2 MPG2=enabled The "performance" scaling_governor is set and I have run through all the steps on the wiki page. Happily, we now have stut...

I have GPU memory set to 320, and am running MythTV 29. The audio change I will try tonight, as posted by you on another thread: For audio over HDMI, either of the following will work 1. Use raspi-config to force audio over HDMI and in MythTV frontend audio setup select ALSA default. 2. In front end...

I'm setting up an Raspberry Pi 3 as a new frontend using Raspbian stretch and MythTV Light (excellent work, thanks for those packages!). I bought an MPG2 license key (source is UK Freesat) and playback is fine for SD shows. There are some hints in other threads about options that might improve playb...

Is mysql running? Try "service mysql start" from a terminal and then try the backend setup again.
