I would like to know your SDL version. Are you using SDL's dfbmga-like
support (new SDL env vars) or directfb with primary-layer set to CRTC2?
I'm using SDL 1.2.6 with the environment variable
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dfbmga:nospic
Also how is your mpeg2 playback from the pvr-250? Myself and others
experience horrible jitter with dfbmga. Are you NTSC or PAL? What
kernel version? :)
PAL resolution, gentoo-patched (with v4l and i2c-2.8.1 stuff)
kernel-2.4.22, ivtv-0.1.9.
If you mean the sort of delayed live playback through the
tv.ivtv_basic_tv freevo plugin, well, that's almost perfect if I compare
it with the playback of the recorded shows (via cat /dev/video0 till
now, or recorded with the same pvr250 under the other OS) in
mplayer-1.0_pre3, where it jerks from time to time (unlike playback of
DivX stuff in the same mplayer on dfbmga:nospic). I find that strange,
too.
So far, I'm using mplayer for movies, DVDs and audio (unfortunately Xine
does not support directfb 0.9.20, I pray that will change soon), and the
I hope so too.
1. Every time freevo starts the ivtv-viewer, or mplayer, the screen
horribly flickers on my TV until freevo releases the directfb display
and the other application comes in, and the same on going back. I still
Yes, I HATE that. If you are using multi-app then look in freevo for
where it does stopdisplay and startdisplay. Try it without, maybe
you'll have luck. I have a feeling you will run into problems with DFB
access permissions to layers though, both SDL and mplayer could use some
work.
Will try that tonight.
Ok, now some promissing news for DirectFB Freevo users. I got an email
from Dmitry Borisov yesterday and he made a pydfb python module. Thomas
Schueppel of mmpython freevo made a similar module as well. They are
both python interfaces to directfb but Dmitry's follows the same
interface as pygame. Pygame is what Freevo is based on and it used SDL.
So, theoreticly we could have the option of using pydfb instead of
pygame thus giving directfb users a huge advantage. So, I am
investigating this. I will followup in a seperate email with my
vision for this.
Thank you so far, Rob! I'm eager to hear the good news though.
