And I had to build mplayer with ./configure --x-includes=/usr/lib --x-libraries=/usr/lib Otherwise it fails If needed you may need to recompile xine-lib too with configure --x-includes=/usr/lib --x-libraries=/usr/lib. Somehow the mplayer xine-lib configure didn't detect the libviaXvMC wrapper. Even then normal divx is stuttering a bit, altough playing mpeg2 is at 5 a 10% usage on a m9000. Still investigating why divx doesn't play nice. /Robert --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Re: [Freevo-users] Mplayer stutters under Freevo
The only thing compilled for Xvmc is Xine on my EPIA M10K box. XFree86-4.4-libviaXvMC-0.11.3-patch Mplayer worked out of the box for me. One thing: I don't use this box for recording. I use another, more powerfull one. It's connected with a nfsshare over the network, end plays recorded programs without hesitating. While running a DVD using XINE, top shows me the following CPU 16,6 % 18,2 Sys I have 512 MB ram inside.

RE: [Freevo-users] Problem with MPlayer failing to play media
Hi You do not need gmplayer, mplayer is enough! I also use MPlayer1.0pre6 on a debian system, no problems here... You can get more debug information if you set the following in your local_conf.py DEBUG = 1 CHILDAPP_DEBUG = 1 Maybe you find a hint there. Moreover you can find the exact line which freevo uses to start mplayer with all options in the debug output. Try that command from a shell. Maybe it is one of the options freevo uses, that is responsible for your problems... Good luck Tanja freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net schrieb am 14.03.05 15:49:41: Hi, I have googled about a bit to find out about gmplayer! I can not find much. I did not install mplayer from source. I think that the freevo debian install did that. Is there anyway to add gmplayer to my current installation?

I have installed Freevo on Morphix (debian) I used the apt-get to install freevo. The problem is that mplayer will not play! It also does not give an error message. This is the same for both MP3 and AVI. Mplayer works fine from the command line. I have also looked at what is passed to it from freevo. This looks ok too. Freevo is the latest version and MPlayer is 1.0 pre 6. Have you installed mplayer from source? It sounds like mplayer works but gmplayer doesn't. Maybe you had gtk installed when compiled, but for some reason you have upgrades/uninstalled some important libraries and gmplayer doesn't work anymore. It won't popup a window complaining about this. To get some more info, just launch anything from console. You will see more error messages.

No, Freevo 1.5.x can't do that. Freevo 2.0 has a new drawing engine and I hope that someone writes a nice mpeg output plugin for it. By that we would have DVB out and DXR3 out without any ugly hacks in the future. Dischi -- Real Men don't make backups.

[Freevo-users] Some questions about DVB-cards and Freevo HT setup
Hi, I'm currently planning my new Home Theatre setup and I've been considering to build the whole system run on Freevo. There's still couple of questions need to be answered before I can make the decision what hardware to buy. I have satellite at home with Canal Digital channel package and I also wan't to use digital television instead of analog. Currently this problem is solved using combo satellite and digital television receiver provided by Canal Digital. So, is it possible to use both DVB-T and DVB-S cards with Freevo on the same time or is there any DVB-T/DVB-S combo cards which could be used with Freevo? For DVB-S card I've been considering this budget card of Twinhan's (TwinhanDTV Sat-CI) and for DVB-T some of Hauppauge's cards.
