I am not the author (nor even a user) but you are absolutely right.
You must free the pointer as returned by strdup; not one that you have 
modified or incremented :(

So you need to keep a virgin copy of the pointer as you have done.

Cheers,
Chris

[vdr] Moving to a stream mpeg or h264 with vdr-1.7.9

2009-11-11 Thread Senufo 
Hi,

When I make a mark with the 0 key if I want to move it by pressing 4 or
6 it works when the stream is the H264 but when it's mpeg2 the mark
moves but the image remains static.

Senufo

Then XBMC will help you ;) Here is one way to integrate VDR and XBMC 
using streamdev plugin - 
http://blog.mymediasystem.net/avchd/xbmc-on-karmic-with-vdpau-and-vdr/ 
There is also another way without streamdev, which is better as people 
talk.

And then, how does it related to the OP question ?

To my understanding, yes and no, depends on what you understand to be a 
desktop. You need X for it and something to launch it. (Flash interface) 
+ Flashplayer (i believe Gnash can't do it yet ?)


The XBMC could be your "Desktop" and i believe, what the answers before 
trying you to say is you could launch Hulu Desktop from within XBMC (not 
proven as i can't - neither XBMC here yet, nor can i use hulu) So 
whatever else, you need X and display X on your TV.
