Same here: Gentoo, managed to compile softmpeg few months ago (but by that time, I had no Sat-dish and no working VDR), and now it doesnÂt even compile... > > Is it possible to redirect the VDR stream to mplayer (with dfbmga video > output)? > (instead of fbxine) I think yes, but just the video stream when using the streamdev-server VDR plugin. But then you don't get the VDR OSD in mplayer, and you have to control VDR somehow with events sent via SVDRP. > what's the most stable/fast solution for vdr+OSD+(soft mpeg2 > decoder)+TVoutput_on_G400 ? AFAIK, for G400 DirectFB is the video output method of choice. So, a vdr output wich is fast, has OSD and the quality is also perfect (I've seen it only when playing VDR recordings in mplayer with dfbmga and field-parity=top so far) this has yet to be written :-). The DirtectFB videoout of softdevice as it is now, uses wrong field parity order, which is very bad on an interlaced TV, especially on fast movements and scrolling text, especially horizontal scrolling like in news tickers, and also uses software blending of the OSD and the video on the same surface (I mean in "our" case, the G400 TV-out hack-so-far, not as Stefan Lucke originally has written it for the *first* head of his Matrox). Well, I'm eager to try to fix this, but, as I said, I haven't find the time yet, I must finish another VDR contribution, a graphlcd driver for Noritake 800 series VFDs which basically is finished and working, I just want to polish the code a little bit, then I'll look into dfbmga and softdevice code. Another possiblity would of course be xine, but it doesn't run yet on DirectFB (not meaning df_xine). The vdr_xine plugin patches fbxine AFAIK, so we're not there yet, to use it on DirectFB. I'm also following the evolution of freevo, they want to get freevo act as a client, or even output plugin to vdr, when that will be working, I've found my ultimate htpc light-weight (no X bloat) software... :-) So, as a next step, I will try my best on the softdevice - dfbmga marriage, how about you, could you also have a look on that code?
