OK, here you go.<br>
<br>
I'm a linuxmce user trying to get DVB-T working for freeview in NZ, based in wellington.<br>
After much mucking about, I have come to the point where I can get a picture on most channels (some cause a crash), but no sound on any. Which means I only use my linux MCE box for watching material from the hard drive.<br>
I understand there may be a patch available for the sound, but am not sure how to apply it on linuxmce.</blockquote><div><br>Welcome aboard.<br><br>I looked at the linuxmce source code a while ago and it seemed to be based on an older version of myth than 0.21-fixes. Therefore I doubt that any of the current patches will apply cleanly. I could be wrong or way out of date on that though. Perhaps you should be asking the linuxmce devs to add the changes to their source tree.<br>

<br>
Also, I'd like to investigate the hardware acceleration (NVIDIA), I'm unsure if my card will support it, but believe it should be capable of the older purevideo (nvidia's hardware acceleration PRE VDPAU (Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix)), this would be great as when I can see a DVB-T freeview picture on my screen, it's not very smooth, and I'm sure that offloading decoding to the video card would help. I'm pretty sure my video card is to old to do VDPAU.<br>
</blockquote><div><br><br>Tell us what the card is and we can advise. But purevideo is NOT available on linux and a card that can do purevideo on windows cannot necessarily do vdpau on linux. <br> </div>Same comment on the vdpau patches too, I doubt that they will apply cleanly to linuxmce source, but you never know! <br>
