Hi Adam,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have installed kaa.display, I installed latest
svn versions of kaa and freevo as per the wiki, which I beleive installs
kaa.display by default.
When I say change channel, the mplayer window playing the TV goes away and
is replaced momentarily by a black window with an orange bar OSD, then it
goes away and the mplayer video is back, the OSD bar doesn't overlay onto
the video at all. It is in a separate window. Same happens when seeking
fwd/back on paused TV. Also, I do not get any volume control OSD while
watching TV. Is there any OSD documentation anywhere?
By the way I am running X11. The box was a Mythbuntu box. I am wanting to
ditch Mythtv so am trying Freevo on the same box. Mythbuntu uses xfce and I
am not sure what window manager it uses.
I did try "freevo -fs" at one time, but all I ended up with is a black
screen and a crashed box .... must be some dependancy I am missing.
How do I get rid of the "dialog.x11_overlay_display" ??
Also I would like to replace mplayer as my tv video player with VLC, does
anyone have the options to put into local_conf, including deinterlacing etc
for TV ..
With those two things sorted by TV experience is complete :-)
Thanks,
Bernie
