Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo, dfbmga and sdl. (that old chestnut)
Thanks Aubin, I've now got it working. As per
David Amiel's post I needed to use libsdl cvs.
One more thing, I have modified my MPlayer Args in local_config.py to use
dfbmga:buffermode=triple. Can I easilly modify freevo to use this at startup. This
may be of benefit to others as it doesnt need the vsync kernel patch to get best
results. Not that I suppose it makes much difference to the menu's.

So, sum up, mplayer works stand alone and DirectFB is buuilt against sdl
correctly. At the same time Freevo is not even calling DirectFB hence no DirectFB
output messages during startup.
Its interesting that if I substitute directfb for dfbmga in freevo.conf and run
freevo I get this on the console but still no directfb output messages.

If you're not seeing messages from DirectFB when you load Freevo, then
SDL is probably not using it.

The really frustrating thing is that I've now somehow broken directfb
under mplayer too :(. It worked fine this morning, it now freezes as
follows.

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo, dfbmga and sdl. (that old chestnut)
Hello Mark,
I experienced similar problems. I migrated from SuSE to Gentoo this week.

I'm pretty sure I've done everything in the list archive.
Patched the kernel with vsync (although I dont think this is necessary if you are using the newer mplayer triple switch.
I'm using mplayer 0.90-r5 under gentoo. I applied the latest dfbmga patch to this (this provided triple and fixed a problem with spic)
Mplayer works fine under dfbmga on its own.
To get it working you applied the following patch, didn't you?
http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/directfb/vo_dfbmga_update.patch
Without it, the mplayer only works using '-vo dfbmga:nospic' (at least
for me).
my frewevo.conf contains
display = dfbmga
geometry = 720x480
tv = pal
I've also used 720x576 with no luck
/etc/directfbrc
atrox-crtc2
matrox-tv-standard=pal
primary-layer=2
I'm using sdl 1.25 which I believe no longer needs the patch. ( did try the patch, but I was getting Fuzz 1)
It depends on the DirectFB-version whether the patch is needed (or not).
=0.9.19 should be fine.

I found out that the ebuild for libsdl is the problem; at the moment it
disables the DirectFB-support to avoid circular dependencies
(SDL-DirectFB-SDL). I changed the ebuild by hand to get
DirectFB-support. It's just commented out. Remove the comment marks and
do a 'emerge libsdl'.
I think, that fixed it for me...

Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo, dfbmga and sdl. (that old chestnut)
Easiest way to check if DirectFB is working with SDL is to do:
ldd /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0
Among the output should be reference to libdirectfb, if SDL was built
properly.

Okay, after 2 hours wasted trying to get mplayer dfbmga working again I find that a
reboot fixed it. Still no luck with freevo though.
I have removed my local_config.py (just in case). If I now run freevo with just
directfb I get this
ROM_DRIVES: Auto-detected and added ('/mnt/cdrom', '/dev/cdroms/cdrom0', 'CD-1')
ROM_DRIVES: Auto-detected that /dev/hda is the same device as /dev/cdroms/cdrom0,
skipping
freevo: bad file format, line 21
WARNING: /etc/freevo/lircrc not found!
Couldn't open mixer /dev/mixer
but it doesnt say line 21 of which file. If I run with dfbmga I get the message
already posted. /dev/mixer warnings are irrelavant I dont have a mixer on my sound
card.
Okay, if sdl is not using DirectFB, is there any way I could test sdl in isolation?
I understand if I have Directfb 0.19 and sdl 1.25 then I shouldnt need the patch?
I'm not sure how to debug my sdl installation.
Its kind of late in the UK so I'll catch you tomorrow.
Thanks for the help.

I think I have seen some directfb messages when starting freevo but only when
setting directfb instead of dfbmga in freevo.conf.
Since I have no monitor on the media box, I dont know if directfb was actually
displaying anything.
The messages should show up in the freevo logs; they look like he ones
you put below (the lines starting with (*))
If you're not seeing messages from DirectFB when you load Freevo, then
SDL is probably not using it.

The really frustrating thing is that I've now somehow broken directfb under
mplayer too :(. It worked fine this morning, it now freezes as follows.
mplayer -dvd 1 -vo dfbmga:nospic,triple -x 768 -y 576
(*) parsing config file '/etc/directfbrc'.

I'll come back the list when I've got mplayer dfbmga working again :(.
