Hi!
I am running freevo 2.0 cvs. I have g400dh connected to tv. I am using directfb for output. Everything that works works fine, there is no window flickering like in 1.5.3. But it seems to me that mevas engine is a bit slow. I like new mplayer freevo osd that is blended with bmovl, but then cpu usage of mplayer is huge. Without bmovl i get around 30% but with bmovl it gets up to 80%! 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.
I am suggesting to implement more directfb in mevas engine. For example, when fading why not use directfb method SetOpacity? When making fade in - fade out transition from one image to another why not use two directfb windows and on one increasing opacity and on the other decreasing it.
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.
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.
Regards, Dino
P.S. Sorry for my bad english :)
