I've been tweaking my FC3 install for the past week. Recording TV shows, flagging commercials, etc works flawlessly now. But I'm trying to get the bugs ironed out, and there is a showstopper as far as I'm concered, and that's DVD playback.
This is on a Pundit-R system, using the PVR-350 tv out, 2.4GHz Celeron, 512mb ram, 160gb hard drive (which already isn't enough :D ) Ideally I would have DVD playback, with menus, through the TV out on the PVR-350. With the current state of the video player software though, it's not possible. For one, mplayer doesn't support DVD menus, and even if it did, I can't get the audio to stay synced with the video. So, after thinking about it for a while, there are basically 4 choices I have. 1) Buy another PCI video card with TV out, an nvidia. I'd rather not spend more cash on the box right now, and I'm worried it may not fit in the case. 2) Get TV out on the ATI9100 IGP. Not much luck here so far, I tried installing the RPM on my FC3 system but I wasn't successful. Has anyone does this, or have a link to a HOWTO? 3) Mplayer with DVD menus. I searched the mplayer mailing list, but it doesn't seem like there is much effort to get this working. 4) Xine with an ivtv output driver. There's some talk on the xine mailing list about doing this, and I'd be interested in helping get it working, so I'm trying to get in touch with those guys. Am I missing anything obvious here? I'm really stoked about having the TV working, but I'd like to get it all working from one media centre box. Alex
