Hi Huber, I'll try to answer some of your questions. 1. All 2D stuff such as blitting, rectangles, lines. Supports alphachannels, colorkeys etc. 2. No 3. You can use existing VideoProviders ( through v4l, libmpeg ) which renders directly to the overlay. Haven't tested it though. Not sure any of those will use HW assisted playback
You may want to use viaexp player to use HW accel. http://sourceforge.net/projects/viaexp/ But it does not use overlays from directfb( though it will use overlays on X with via_drv installed ) At this point I know none of the players or libs which supports all the features of cle266.

What I do _not_ know is what features of this chip directFB uses. I would like add CLE266 hardware accelleration to an output plugin for the VDR video disc recorder (playback of MPEG1/MPEG2 video, doing some OSD overlay). So my questions are: 1. If I use directFB with my VIA Epia M10000 (with CLE266), _what_ exactly will be hardware accellerated? 2. Does directFB uses the MPEG decoding capabilities of the CLE266? 3. If yes, what do I have to do to play back a MPEG file via directFB? Okay, mplayer -directfb -dr does this (and works :-)), but how would I code my own application? 4. Does there exist a howto for coding a video player based on directfb? Which of the example applications could be uses as a template? 5. Is there a more general framework overview of directfb, besides the very detailed generated API. The API e.g. does not explain what a Layer or a Surface is, or for what it is used... Thank you very much for your help.
