Maybe you are right. Looking at the mplayer devel list and the design, everything speaks for xine: o the mplayer developers are busy flaming eachother and everyone sending patches to the list. o your vf_osd patch is still not in cvs o mplayer can't change the filter chain while playing. This is bad for recordings when the show itself is 16:9 and the stuff before that 4:3 and mplayer starts 4:3 and never changes o latest posts on the devel list don't look like G2 will hit the street o the xine people accept patches and help you create one (only my seeking bug is still there, but maybe we "fix" this at kaa.record level) o xine is a lib with plugins, mplayer a huge monolitic monster The only thing about xine I don't like is the massive use of threads. When I have some time and your canvas code is more developed, I guess I should try xine only in freevo. BTW, is the sws code in xine working already? Dischi -- I once thought I made a mistake, but I was wrong.
