Re: [vdr] Recommendation for new hd vdr system.
Have you compiled vdr-xineliboutput with --enable-vdpau ? what does ./configure show and are you using xine-lib-1.2 HG with vdpau patch? xineliboutput configure shows vdpau in the list of enabled features but command "vdr-sxfe -help" does not list vdaup Available video drivers: xv raw SyncFB opengl xshm none xxmc fb xvmc Available audio drivers: alsa oss file none I have not build xine or vdpau libraries myself and are instead just using the mandriva 2010 ones. (backported version from vdapu thought) [lam...@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep vdpau lib64vdpau1-0.3-1mdv2010.0 lib64vdpau-devel-0.3-1mdv2010.0 [lam...@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep xine lib64xine-devel-1.1.16.3-2plf2010.0 lib64xine1-1.1.16.3-2plf2010.0 So would this xine version be new enough if I just patch the rpm with patch from somewhere or do I need to download the sources for newer xine version?

dto :-) zotac-A; Dual Core Atom, 32GB-SSD And over Christmas I managed to make it completely noiseless by installing a Accelero S1 cooler !!! http://www.schwanthalercomputer.de/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=accelero+S1&x=0&y=0 The mounting is somewhat unorthodox, but took me less than an hour to install. If someone is interested I try to put some photos somewhere. A pic showing how you have connected it to zotac would indeed be interesting. Now temperature stays below 60?C even with high load (h264 decoding or heli-X 3D simulation). I have a similar kind of passive cooled zotac that you put in your links but found out that without any cooling it's temperature get still pretty hight 60-65 celcius. Is this a single core? Do you have any other fan (power supply, case)? My experience was, that without any cooling the temperature kept rising. I stopped the experiment above 80?C when temperature was still rising even in idle desktop (ubuntu koala). Same with one core disabled on startup with maxcpus. Yes, the mine is also a dual core. I was following the temperatures sofar only from bios settings where it shows both the cpu and gpu. But for me it used to stay near to 65 without cooling. (I was however always booting to bios to check it) I used to use the board with the original cooler slowed down with a simple poti until recently. Much more silent with almost no change in temperatures compared to full speed cooling (below 40?C), I do not have a pc shop near to buy these poti's so I was planning to try to solder couple of resistors. From internet I also found that it could be easy to just switch couple of wires to slow down from 12w to 7w. All temperatures are from GPU since I don`t have patched the kernel and don't know how to access cpu temperature without that effort. But since they are connected thermally there should not be a big difference. Mandriva 2.6.31 kernels reports temp also incorrectly, I think I read somewhere that 2.6.32 kernels should have that fixed. Have not tried myself though.___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Re: [vdr] Recommendation for new hd vdr system.
For those looking for quiet fans, I have found the Nexus PWM series 120mm to be the quietest fan for air flow yet. Moves more air then the Arctic fans with the same or lower noise level. I have one cooling an AMD x4 3ghz. I have it set to min speed of about 50% and it takes 100% load to get the cores up to the 40c level that it would take to trigger a higher speed. The fan is also clear with LED mount holes for those who want to fancy it up with lights. Mika Laitio wrote: OK, i finally found the time to complete a VDR PC based on the ION board. The good news are: + 1080p plays back smoothly with xine/vdpau with very low CPU usage. + sound over HDMI works. + the streamdev-client plugin works - even with HD channels. + the xine plugin works fine - also with HD channels and HD recordings. I had to tweak a few config items. The not-so-good news are: + The fan is a bit loud and so far I have not found a silent replacement fan. + I originally set up the system as a diskless (nfsroot) system, but KDE 4 (I am using OpenSuSE 11.2) performs unbearably slow, so I was forced to install a hard disk. So, as it turns out, I do not need a DVB card in the PC (the server has 2 DVB-S cards and one DVB card). If I keep it that way, I really do not need the PCI slot, so I could use one of these passively cooled main boards http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a467665.html http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a439268.html I currently use this (actively cooled) main board: http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a455388.html Using a passively cooled main board would solve the fan noise problem. I also finally setted up my ion system. I have a similar kind of passive cooled zotac that you put in your links but found out that without any cooling it's temperature get still pretty hight 60-65 celcius. The included 4 inch fan was indeed pretty noisy, so I invested for a 8 inc fan and put that to my own made wooden case. (I first used old case from broken video, but that one had about 30 cm extra width, so I ended up making my own case) With this 8 inch fan, the cpu and mcu temperatures are now about 40 celcius.

Re: [vdr] Recommendation for new hd vdr system.
OK, i finally found the time to complete a VDR PC based on the ION board. The good news are: + 1080p plays back smoothly with xine/vdpau with very low CPU usage. + sound over HDMI works. + the streamdev-client plugin works - even with HD channels. + the xine plugin works fine - also with HD channels and HD recordings. I had to tweak a few config items. The not-so-good news are: + The fan is a bit loud and so far I have not found a silent replacement fan. + I originally set up the system as a diskless (nfsroot) system, but KDE 4 (I am using OpenSuSE 11.2) performs unbearably slow, so I was forced to install a hard disk. So, as it turns out, I do not need a DVB card in the PC (the server has 2 DVB-S cards and one DVB card). If I keep it that way, I really do not need the PCI slot, so I could use one of these passively cooled main boards http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a467665.html http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a439268.html I currently use this (actively cooled) main board: http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a455388.html Using a passively cooled main board would solve the fan noise problem. I also finally setted up my ion system. I have a similar kind of passive cooled zotac that you put in your links but found out that without any cooling it's temperature get still pretty hight 60-65 celcius. The included 4 inch fan was indeed pretty noisy, so I invested for a 8 inc fan and put that to my own made wooden case. (I first used old case from broken video, but that one had about 30 cm extra width, so I ended up making my own case) With this 8 inch fan, the cpu and mcu temperatures are now about 40 celcius. If you are interested, I put a picture on http://pilppa.org/home/blogs/index/1 For some reason the "--video vdpau" option for vdr-sxfe still does not work for me...
