Hi again,
Without X, you can use softdevice on DirectFB (softdevice has a choice of 4 output methods : plain frame-buffer (slow), vidix (need root access), DirectFB and X/Xv.
Vidix is this? (from vdr wiki): · Quasi hardware decoding through XvMC (/*XV*ideo *M*otion *C*ompensation/) with low CPU load This is supported with some NVidia graphics cards (GF4MX400 sowie >= GF5), S3 Unicrome (VIA Epia Boards) and possibly other. (Option /XvMC/ in *XF86config*)
Or this?:
* Software decoding. With overlay output via Xv (/*XV*ideo/).
Works with all graphic cars (Option /v4l/ in *XF86config*)
