Hi folks,
thanks to Rob Shortt who gave me the relevant code snippet some time
ago, I was able to setup df_xine (now that it's usable at least for some
of my DVDs) to play DVDs with df_xine if it is detected on a
freevo-1.5.4 installation wich is configured to use 'directfb' or
'dfbmga' video output.
It's still necessary to have XINE_AO_DEV set in your local_conf.py if
you use fbxine for audio playing, however, df_xine does not use this and
will complain in the log it can't play the MRL 'alsa' or whatever
XINE_AO_DEV is set to. To make df_xine work, just set XINE_ARGS_DEF
according to the df_xine command line options you need (for my Matrox
G400 TV-out for example I need '-l 0' because the primary layer is set
to 2 in /etc/directfbrc). Patch against freevo-1.5.4 is also located
here: http://muresan.de/freevo/freevo-1.5.4_df_xine.diff
Have phun,
Lucian
P.S. Maybe I'll soon find the time for a fresh gentoo ebuild to this,
too (dependency of DirectFB-extra, etc...)
