MythTV Frontend Discussion - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

stampeder · 2010-12-22, 10:51 AM

This thread concerns the setup and maintenance of the user experience in MythTV and is for discussing such application issues as the program guide, menus, themes, customization, plugins, keyboard mappings, etc.

This thread is not about hardware, general installation, general mythbackend setup, firmware, or drivers since those are already covered in the main Mythtv thread as well as in the Easy MythTV Install & Setup Using Mandriva and PLF thread.

I'll have to look through the mythfrontend options because I have something a bit like that happening, but only on Live TV on changing channels and I never see it outside of MythTV. Since I use the OpenGL settings it fades from the screen, but I'd like it to do so much more quickly! BTW it doesn't occur on recordings, although the progress bar shows up and fades. I'd like to find out how to toggle the use of these and/or adjust their timing but I haven't looked into it seriously so far.

I have tried with and without the backend started, and it will not go away.

does not happen when watching the analog tuner.

thanks

ClgShaft, in the main menu Utilities/Setup section go to Setup and then Appearance and on the first page (called Theme/Screen Settings) which Paint Engine is yours using? Mine is set to OpenGL, which your new Nvidia video card will handle easily. Maybe that might clear up your on screen graphics issue.

Stampeder why are the two links you have in post 1 set at https not http ?

mine was set to QT, I have changed to OpenGL.

what themes are people using? I have mine set to mythcenter wide. is there some really cool themes out there?

My next task is getting a ps3 remote to control mythtv. Looks like it is a few scripts and setting lirc on the frontend.

thanks to all who helped me get mythtv to work.
