New TV channels have started being broadcast this weekend and I have an interesting display problem with the new "HD" channels. These produce a video display which is larger than my screen. They can viewed in a X-window session provided the display is windowed and not full-screen. Full-screen they hang the GUI and give a black display. Audio is heard. In the Freevo window manager I get the same. After pressing [Esc] to quit I have to press [z] a few times to get a display again. I think that if I had some mplayer settings that would scale them back I might get something viewable. It is not a high powered processor running this box, and I have --framedrop set already.
My display isn't perfect with smaller displays, often a channel is made square (so everyone is skinny). Pressing [z] for fullscreen will make it rectangular, but not fill the screen, and positioned to the right. Pressing [z] again makes no change to the video, as it then becomes an mplayer interpreted [z] and some delay is programmed. Here are my mplayer settings MPLAYER_ARGS['dvd'] = '-cache 8192' MPLAYER_ARGS['dvb'] = '-framedrop -vf pp=de/fd -cache 4096' MPLAYER_ARGS['vcd'] = '-cache 4096' MPLAYER_ARGS['cd'] = '-cache 1024 -cdda speed=2' MPLAYER_ARGS['tv'] = '-nocache' MPLAYER_ARGS['ivtv'] = '-cache 8192' MPLAYER_ARGS['avi'] = '-cache 5000 -idx' MPLAYER_ARGS['flv'] = '-nocache -forceidx' MPLAYER_ARGS['mp4'] = '-nocache -forceidx' MPLAYER_ARGS['rm'] = '-cache 5000 -forceidx' MPLAYER_ARGS['rmvb'] = '-cache 5000 -forceidx' MPLAYER_ARGS['webcam'] = 'tv:// -tv driver=v4l:width=352:height=288:outfmt=yuy$ MPLAYER_ARGS['default'] = '-framedrop -cache 5000' TV_SETTINGS = 'pal television australia /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' TV_OPTS = '-vo=x11 -framedrop ' TV_VIEW_OUTFMT = 'yuy2' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Mar 27 - Feb 2 Save $400 by Jan. 27 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2 _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
