I've got an old G200 lying around and I am trying to setup a mythtv/directfb box using it.
But before I even started doing that I tried a test using mplayer with the -vo directfb option and could not get it to work. It gave an error saying YV12 was not supported and switched to using the software YV12->RGB converter but still just displayed a black screen (although the OSD shows up fine...). Looking through the code I noticed a comment saying that the G200 does not support YV12 or I420 which seems odd to me. This is because previously I've used the mplayer -vo mga option which does not require the software converter and to me from a quick look through the mplayer code it seems to display the YV12 natively (ie no conversion in the driver). So I'm just wondering why mplayer's mga_vid driver can support YV12 on my G200 but directfb does not? Am I missing something?
