Re: [mythtv-users] Xine issues

[Peter Osterberg]

I've changed to xv now, haven't had the time to try xvmc yet.. Maybe 
this evening...


Anyway... The jerky part of me picture disapeared when I turned on 
de-interlace but I have one more issue left. This issue is found 
regardless of which output driver I've tried so far.


I can see a shadow of the last aframe round fast moving objects. It is 
especially visible on animated dvd's. I don't see anything like this on 
my regulard dvd player. I noticed that I had turned on maximum post 
processing and turned it of completely but that didn't help.


Anyway your help did help with the jekyness and that was far worse but I 
really want to get rid of this as well.


Sincerely,
Peter Österberg

I'll bet XvMC is working better than you think.  ;)

xxmc is "eXtended XvMC" and is the name of xine's XvMC video output
plugin that supports NVIDIA (standard) XvMC, VLD XvMC, and falls
back to
Xv if XvMC is unavailable.  xine doesn't have an "xvmc" plugin (using
any combination of capitalization), so it doesn't recognize it as a
valid video output plugin.

For anyone looking for another option, I've had pretty good luck using
xxmc.  So far it seems to give the best picture - virutally as
good as my standalone DVD player.    Xvmc doesn't work at
all, and xshm looks terrible on my setup.  Haven't tried opengl

Assuming you have the ATI fglrx driver installed and xvinfo states xv
support is present, try using -V xv in xine. This cured the xine
playback issues I had on a Radeon 9100 system.

Your screen resolution won't affect the performance with xshm & software 
scaling.  Scaling is scaling, more or less.  If the video is 720x480, 
then unless your screen is also running at 720x480, it has to scale.  
Doesn't matter too much how much it has to scale; just that it has to 
do it at all.  You certainly have the horsepower to do xshm output, I 
think, but if you can get xv/xvmc/opengl/sdl working, then I think 
you'll be better off.

I've tried 'em all now...

xv and opengl looks best but none of them are perfect. OpenGL look best 
of the two.


OpenGL uses about 8% CPU while xv only consumes 5-6% CPU.

I think I'll stick to OpenGL and check if there are any other options 
that I can play with to make it even better...

xshm will use software to scale the video for the current screen size, 
so it will tax your CPU a lot more.  Depending on how much processing 
power you have, it may stutter (or it may not, but will take up a lot 
of CPU).

Personally I compiled my xine to use xvmc for more gforce mx 4000.  I don't 
use xvmc for mythtv yet, but it works great with xine.  My P3 733 plays DVD's 
beautifully that way.

Will it play anything else, e.g. avi, mpg files? Have you tried
running xine-check? Have you tried running xine --bug-report?

Alternatively take this over to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is getting dow right frustrating.
I re-emerged xine and the decryption libraryand still, xine won't 
play a dvd.

It just opens a black box, and hangs.

On the gentoo box, it might be because kde is also running (I would

On the xbox, it just goes to a blank screen.  Now I had heard that
the xbox running xebian live cd (which I do from the apps dir) won't
play dvd's with xine.  But I can't confirm that.

Anyone here know how to fix these issues?

Fuzzie,

  Works fine on my FC3 frontend:

For DVD: xine --no-splash -pfhq -I -D -B -S volume=90 dvd://
For video: xine --no-splash -pfhq -I -D -B -S volume=90 %s

-pfhqPlay automatically, full screen,  hide gui, quit on completion

-I No Gui   (-g is alternative, hide gui or this might actually not be
needed due to h option above?)
-DDeinterlace
-BBorderless
-S volume=90 Equalise volume with rest of Mythtv


cheers,
Dave
