But XRANDR is an X extension that allows on-the-fly changing of your desktop resolution and orientation (think: rotation). So I assume you mean XRENDER instead, which is an X extension that offers more modern and more accelerated drawing mechanisms. I don't know if video playback using XRENDER is feasible and fast. If it is, it might surpass XV as a video display method, but that won't happen for some time I think. Hardware overlays with hardware scaling and colorspace conversion (which is what is typically required for an XV implementation) will be important for some time to come, so I feel OGA should implement one. I don't think that's overly difficult btw; the hardware will have to do colorspace conversion and scaling anyway. And if the hardware is sufficiently flexible, using XRENDER to play video will still be possible, should that become the dominant video playback method.
