How easy was it to get your Epia M1000 going with hardware MPEG decoding? Is it as simple as: boot, start vdr with xine plugins, start X sending out the S-video connector, start xine fullscreen?
Not yet but we are almost there. You need latest x.org and xine.
How well does it cope with the OSD? I've tried the xine plugin on an athlon 1000 and it seriously crawls when the OSD is displayed.
The problem goes away with HW mpeg2 acceleration. The stream uses 10-15% CPU so there is plenty left for OSD
Any idea if any of the newer Epia boards would fare better? Although, having had a quick look, the newer ones don't have parallel ports so where would I attach my status LEDs?
To on board header? Some have it some don't. The M 12000 is faster than the M 10000 doh =;-D
Has anyone tried running two DVB cards on one of these things with a two-way PCI riser card?
There are issues with double riser cards. From memory it is a BIOS problem and, well, VIA isn't well you see =:-D You will need a decent power supply. You will not be able to use a tiny case without ventilation = noise.
