Hi,
Please advice how to configure xineliboutput in the best way... I have 1.7.1 + ext64 patches, xineliboutput 1.0.3, nVidia card with latest drivers.
After many tests I have the following: Using --hud gives best OSD I ever seen, but it shows only the OSD when the output window is in focus and no playback. When I select another window (loose focus), I see the playback, but this way I can't control it...
Reports about this pop-up occasionally so I'll try to clarify:
You need a compositing window manager to see both the hud osd and video at the same time.
I recommend xcompmgr because it can run in parallel to your normal window manager and serve the necessary compositing extensions as an addition. Of the compositing managers I've tried it also seems to be the fastest / least cpu intensive.
So install xcompmgr and run: xcompmgr -n&
prior to starting vdr-sxfe --hud
You'll need to setup xorg.conf so that compositing is enabled. IOW you should have lines similar to following in you xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection
Concerning your other display issues (opengl osd etc.) I'd recommend trying without patched vdr and maybe latest version of xine-lib.
Regards,
