[Freevo-users] DVI-I and HDTV

2003-06-11 Thread Scott Serr
I was wondering if someone can set me straight. It seems like all modern video cards have DVI-I out. I understand this is to drive flat panel monitors. I remember hearing several months ago that [some standards group] decided that the HDTV interface would be DVI. I was excited. Now that I

I'm interested; though I'd like to see what happens with Xiph before going further. I'm sure that whatever happens with encoding, it'll involve either pipes or some other way of specifying how to encode. The big problem is tagging; we have Python libraries for writing Ogg and ID3v2.4 tags, but I h

Not yet, as far as I know, though you can customize the colors and the fonts. It depends what level of customization you want. We can't add shaded rounded boxes behind the text yet, but there is a fair amount you CAN do, and it's much nicer than mplayer for television anyway. On Wed, Jun 11, 2003

Rob, Can you perhaps add tvtime to the runtime, it only requires xlibs, and a dynamic binary is about 350k. I just think that for the many people who have had audiosync problems, it's a much nicer alternative. Plus, after you and Dischi try it, you may be convinced to switch from mplayer to tvtime

I wouldn't switch from Reiserfs, especially not to ext3; Reiserfs has some big advantages namely, it's ability to deal with many small files (mp3s, caches, etc.) and it's recovery stuff. I use Reiserfs both on my Freevo box, and on a production webserver, which has experienced a few power outages,
