Really? I would like to have your config please, Mplayer and df_xine looked ok, but Freevo is a mess. > But it seems to me that mevas engine is a bit slow.

So it's no mevas problem, it is a problem with mplayer showing the osd. > Without bmovl i get around 30% but with bmovl it gets up to 80%! It should be possible in future versions to turn the bmovl code off. No nice osd on mplayer, but works with slower cpu. > Also new menu fading effect is great idea but it doesn't run smooth > as it should. My CPU is PIII 800 which should be enough for htpc > software. Same here, there should be an option to turn it off. > I am suggesting to implement more directfb in mevas engine. For > example, when fading why not use directfb method SetOpacity?

Yes, a real dfb imagelib in mevas would be great. But we need more man power to do all the cool stuff. > To replace bmovl for freevo osd in mplayer, xine or other external > programs why not use directfb windows? In one window is mplayer, > xine or whatever and in other window, that is on top, freevo osd. IIRC this is not possible, both mplayer and xine are running in fullscreen mode and don't like other dfb applications. > Best solution would be to build new display engine (based on > directfb) that should be written in c. I am willing to work on this. Great. But you don't need a new display engine. The display engine is not the problem, we need a dfb based imagelib for mevas. Maybe you can work together with Rob, he is maintaining pydirectfb. Maybe you need to expand something in the c part of pydirectfb to make it faster. Every help is welcome.
