 Hi All,

 I'm curious if Freevo places additional overhead on Mplayer.

 This is a EPIA M10k running Freevo 1.5.2 on Gentoo. Xine and Mplayer is
 compiled with Xvmc and I have libxvmc-0.13 and xorg-x11-6.8.2
 w/unichrome R30.

 Mplayer and xine is running the lastest version.

 xine-ui-0.99.3
 xine-lib-1.0
 mplayer-1.0_pre6

 In addition to that, I have issue playing DVDs under Freevo. Running it
 under X, I can play DVDs fine (even with deinterlace enabled) and I get
 CPU usage of ~50-60% and no dropped frames. (AFAICT)

 Running it under Freevo, I see like 85-90% CPU usage. 


 Can anyone share experiences with running Freevo on a EPIA M10K?? I
 would like to get more info on how best to optimese/get it to work! :-(

Well got this problem since upgrading from a perfect stable system.
What was i thinking. ;-) Using gentoo as well and with jelle's
ebuilds. Somehow i had to add

What was i thinking. ;-) Using gentoo as well and with jelle's
ebuilds. Somehow i had to add

libviaXvMC.so.1 in /etc/X11/XvMCConfig to let the libviaXvMC be
detected.

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.

Re: [Freevo-users] Mplayer stutters under Freevo

2005-03-15 Thread Geert Decorte
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.

Playing recorder video would end somewhere up to 70% at 80% CPU usage

Some specs

Fedora Core 2
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# uname -r
2.6.8.1-epia1
Customized Kernel

Xorg
Release Date: 18 December 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.7
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.21-14.ELsmp i686 [ELF]
Current Operating System: Linux Oracske 2.6.8.1-epia1 #3 Thu Sep 16
12:57:01 CE$Build Date: 07 May 2004
Build Host: tweety.build.redhat.com

Xorg has been updated for Xvmc

I use a 120 GB harddisk from a concurent brand.

Freevo has been updated to 1.5.3 but it has worked with earlier versions,
same conditions.

I'm running freevo under gnome x-windows manager and I had disabled
multiple desktops (uses extra memory)

MPLAYER_ARGS is uncommented to default value.
The xine command to play dvd's had been customized a bit
XINE_COMMAND = '%s --hide-gui -pq -g -B -s -F --aspect-ratio=4:3 -F
--no-splash' %CONF.xine

xine uses unichrome-xine-plugin-0.2.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -q xine
xine-0.99.2-1.1.fc2.fr

some other parts of local_conf.py

TV_VIEW_SIZE = (768, 576)
TV_VIEW_OUTFMT = 'yuy2'

Freevo webserver settings point to my other box, the recording server

I had disabled a lot of unneccessary services
firewall, mail, webserver

I have a low swap file usage (512 MB memory). high swapfile usage might
kill video.
