To get xv working you would need the xdriver driver from ivtv. Mythtv can either use the tv-out or display mpeg via X (using xv). There is unfortunately only one caviat, when mythtv uses the pvr350 tv-out it will also send tje audio over there. So if you have hooked up a speakerset this will not work and instead the sound would come from the tv. Also the tv-out from the pvr350 only accepts mpeg. So if you transcode to mpeg4 you are out of luck for now. But there is hope as in mplayer svn the pvr:// output has been resurrected. It is not finnished yet but when it is it will allow you to play mpeg4 with mplayer on the pvr350's tv-out/decoder. Mpeg1 and 2 should already be working. the ivtv project is currently in the process of getting in mainline and hopefully will be there in 2.6.19/20.
