Hello list, I just built myself a VDR 1.4.2 setup with a budget DVB-C card and softdevice. I have a Matrox G400 DualHead outputting to a 16:9 CRT TV using the composite output. Softdevice almost works, but there are some things I'd like to have working: - the displayed field order is wrong, which causes annoying flicker - seems to be deterministically so; restarts won't help - audio is off-sync quite a bit - the VDR OSD is for some reason displayed double height - it seems as if the OSD was drawn on only one of the fields assuming the field is the whole frame
At the moment, I'm using today's CVS versions of directfb, DFB++, and softdevice; ffmpeg is SVN from maybe two days ago. I also tried with ubuntu breezy's included directfb 0.9.22, which gave a better OSD, but didn't solve the A/V sync or field order issues. The box I'm using is really weak, a 450MHz P2, but it seems to struggle along with 80-90% CPU usage according to vmstat. Mplayer can play recorded .ts's on the box just fine. The kernel is 2.6.12 from ubuntu configured for the P2 and G400. The configuration I use is pretty much copy-pasted blindly from the net: /etc/directfbrc: mode=720x576 depth = 32 primary-layer=2 pixelformat=ARGB matrox-crtc2 matrox-tv-standard=pal matrox-cable-type=composite relevant bits from VDR's setup.conf: softdevice.AC3Mode = 0 softdevice.AlsaAC3Device = hw:0,1 softdevice.AlsaDevice = default softdevice.avOffset = 0 softdevice.bufferMode = 0 softdevice.CropBottomLines = 0 softdevice.CropLeftCols = 0 softdevice.CropMode = 0 softdevice.CropModeToggleKey = 0 softdevice.CropRightCols = 0 softdevice.CropTopLines = 0 softdevice.Deinterlace Method = 0 softdevice.mainMenu = 1 softdevice.OSDalphablend = 0 softdevice.Picture mirroring = 0 softdevice.PixelAspect = 2 softdevice.PixelFormat = 2 softdevice.Postprocess Method = 0 softdevice.Postprocess Quality = 0 softdevice.Suspend = 0 softdevice.syncTimerMode = 0 softdevice.UseStretchBlit = 1 softdevice.vidBrightness = 50 softdevice.vidContrast = 50 softdevice.vidHue = 50 softdevice.vidSaturation = 50 softdevice.Xv-Aspect = 1 Two somewhat unrelated questions I didn't find an answer for are whether the /etc/fb.modes file has any effect when using TV output and why to use "--enable-multi" when configuring directfb for VDR use (some people seemed to use that, so I did, too). I'd appreciate if anyone can provide some comments/help on these problems. -- Heikki Lindholm _______________________________________________ Softdevice-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/softdevice-devel
