Re: Artefacts on playback, backend in KVM

Artefacts on playback, backend in KVM
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...

Re: No OSD
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.

One of the entries in
Code: Select all
aplay -L
Code: Select all
hw:CARD=ALSA,DEV=1
bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI
Direct hardware device without any conversions

Re: No OSD
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 ...

Re: No OSD
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 ->...

Re: No OSD
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.

Re: No OSD
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...

Re: No OSD
I'm on Raspbian 2017-11-29, confusingly from the http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/raspbian-2017-12-01/ folder.

Re: No OSD
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 ...

Re: No OSD
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...

No OSD
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...

Re: MythTV could not connect to the database
Is mysql running? Try "service mysql start" from a terminal and then try the backend setup again.
