Hi,

Support for seeing the VDR osd over mplayer doesn't exist yet.

Who could add this feature please? And what would be the price?


I think this is already work in progress:

That's an alternative to the mplayer plugin -- still very new and
primitive. It would be much better to have this support added to the
mplayer plugin which is already stable and more capable.

Basically, the OSD-over-mplayer does work for dvbsddevice and other
devices that mplayer supports. Also, there was already an attempt to get
mplayer plugin working for TT6400/dvbhddevice cards, but it got stuck a
long time ago:

http://www.vdr-portal.de/board16-video-disk-recorder/board55-vdr-plugins/105796-mplayer-und-tt-6400/?s=2f9ffc972e8fbfd8b390e5dfb1a6abe95cf80963

One thing the thread has is a generic solution for the need to mix OSD
and video stream: There's a modified version of mplayer plugin that
moves this part where it belongs, back into VDR. Instead of VDR closing
the video device for mplayer while keeping the OSD open, VDR takes over
a stream from mplayer and forwards it to the proper output device,
whichever that is. Problem however is that the old stream output feature
of mplayer is suffering from bit rot, and isn't working very well. Plus,
the TT6400 didn't like the mplayer encoded stream.

Cheers,

Udo

Is there any hope that this could be resurrected? Also, what about
those of us who use VDPAU?

I use xineliboutput with a nvidia on-board graphic card to replay all
kind of video without problems (SD and HD).

I use xineliboutput too, but it crashes too often. See also

Its more a thing for hardware decoder cards that cannot handle an
uncompressed video stream, as it always re-encodes to some fixed output
format, eg. mpeg1/2.

The mplayer plugin modification should be ressurectable, with some
updates to plugin structure. It basically expects a video stream that
can be handled by the output device delivered via unix pipe. However,
the mplayer playback-recode-to-file feature is quite broken, and
currently needs some ugly workarounds. And of course, its still
uncertain why the TT6400 denies playback of mplayer encoded video.


Cheers,

Udo

I used gentoo without problems and now yavdr without problems. It never
crashed so it is related to the version/distribution or to your hardware
you are using.
