ok, I'm starting to get the swing of this gmerlin thing.

But, no, they had to call it libpulse-dev. go figger. Now I do have libpulse-dev and recompiled and the audio is crystal clear. The gmerlin_recorder is also more responsive. I assume it was hanging up because it was trying to record jack or alsa through pulseaudio. Now, I can go in and set up the audio output just fine. I can also capture a video frame! Took a picture of myself just now. Would be cool to have a preview like xawtv where I can also set the brightness/contrast etc. Xawtv is practically unusable as far as that goes. > The configure script should tell in the summary if it found pulseaudio or not. > > >> If I use Alsa while pulseaudio runs, I also get glitches. > >> > >>> for > >>> the image, I only see a white screen. > >> Should also not happen.

Does it happen with all video files? > yes. It happens with all video files. Is there perhaps an output plugin or filter that overwrites the image? It is unclear from gmerlin_plugincfg if a filter is turned on or not.

Now, it doesn't lock the system. But, it did crash and hang when I went through the options and hit "ok". -august. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Gmerlin-general mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gmerlin-general
