Sucess! I managed to get the dxr3 working in slow degrees last night... Started by trying cat test.mpg > /dev/em8300_mv
Expecting to see nothing, I got a few garbled images (This was definatley progress! I didn't expect it to play properly as its an mpeg not an mv stream) Tried a few more files, got more or less the same results (Still better than nothing) Spent ages working with mplayer - only to discover that the dxr3 support is broken... tried to fix it by getting a newer version of mplayer and compiling that, but it complained about missing header files for the dxr3 (very strange - where have they gone since the last compile of mplayer? Or maybe I had copied them into the mplayer source dir instead - can't remember off hand - anyhoo I can sort that). Tried an older release of freevo 1.3.2-pre4 binary - and hay presto, TVout via the dxr3... sweet! (Major problem with audio synch on divx movies - but hey, one thing at a time) Now to try and get everything in the latest release working... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johan Cel�n" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 4:56 PM Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] No display device in freevo?
