draggy Wrote:I'm running xbmc camelot on a x86 lucid box, with a svn (hg) version of this awesome plugin. I've installed ffmpeg, and mounted my recordings directory. I have a mythbackend on another local computer, version 0.23. I've tested the backend with another frontend, and confirmed that I can watch tv, etc.

In mythbox, I've setup the hostname of the backend, and the un/pw of the database, and it tests correctly.
But when navigating the menus, and even just trying to setup the config, the GUI is excruciatingly slow.

It takes at least 2 minutes from the time that I press the enter key to the time that the text entry popup comes up when trying to enter a hostname in the config. navigating the menu that's up currently is nice and fast, but changing the view either back to another menu, or opening up a popup takes forever.

I stuck with it, hoping that it will get better, and setup mythbox. I went back to the main menu after testing the connection and tried to watch tv. It pulls up the guide, but when I try to watch a channel, it eventually just times out.

I decided to give this a go on a windows 7 machine. I will admit it is much faster then the linux version, but I still couldn't watch tv, it just timed out.

Can anyone tell me why this is so extremely slow on linux and why it's timing out when I try to watch tv?

draggy Wrote:So...I was mistaken, I was running karmic, not lucid. So I've updated to lucid, and now the script is fast! I have no idea why, it's the same config and same gfx driver (installed from the repo this time), but it works!....sort of....

Still can't watch live tv, all I get in the debug log is:

confirmed that the backend was running and I could watch tv with a mythtv frontend on the same machine just minutes before. My settings also pass the test in mythbox
