Thanks for the quick patches!
Before I tell you about the results of my tests with the supplied
patches
My television is 4:3 ntsc
the cvidix display is did not fill the entrie screen before the patches
I did not really inspect it too closely though
test Results
patch, configure and make all worked without problems
playing an mpeg with cvidid uses aprox 50 percent cpu for all processes
playing tv with cvidix uses aprox 50 perdent cpu for all processes
*note that there are two instances of mplayer
there is a noticeable lag using the cable companies on screen
display
I tried smaller buffer sizes but mplayer needs at least 2048.
Not a show stopper though.
The text of the cable company OSD is noticebly cut off at the bottom
There are black borders three sides
the largest black border is on top
the left and bottom black border are about the same size
there is no black border on the right side
the top border is slightly smaller than the border you would get by
playing
16:9 aspect on 4:3
THe E8 is only needed the first time I run mplayer
What does the E8 do?
also switching back and forth between pasthrough and mplayer makes the
mplayer
video output look jumpy even when it is from a file that worked fine
before.
I tried not specifying the "-tv input=1" mplayer set the input to 0
I wonder if mplayer could be made to just use the existing settings
instead of changing the input?
While I am playing live tv with "mplayer pvr://" I can not capture
This is a major problem for my usage model
I wonder if it is opening /dev/v4l/video0 for writing and writing
instead of just reading?
