Hi!,
Recently I have connected my vdr box to my CRT 16:9 TV. I use the s-video(I want to use the rca tv-out for digital audio) connector of my epia M.10000.
I have followed some instructions to configure xorg with s-video out from this page:
http://www.kingcot.eclipse.co.uk/unichrome/unichromeTvOut.html
I don't know if this url is up to date. I have got see my wmaker desktop in my tv but when I start vdr with softdevice I get:
[softdevice] initializing Plugin [softdevice] Initializing Video Out [softdevice] ffmpeg build(3345920) [XvVideoOut]: osd_image shmid = 2686978 [XvVideoOut]: got osd_image: width 720 height 576, bytes per line 2880 [softdevice] Subplugin successfully opend [softdevice] Video Out seems to be OK [softdevice] Initializing Audio Out [softdevice] Audio out seems to be OK [softdevice] A/V devices initialized, now initializing MPEG2 Decoder X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 145 (MIT-SHM) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_ShmPutImage) Value in failed request: 0x2ff
0x2ff = 767 = 768 - 1 768 is the default startup width.
So you can try to: a. start in full screen mode "-vo xv:full", which adjusts width and height to available max values (720 width in your case I guess). b. choose software OSD blending (via OSD :-( ) or via setup.conf: softdevice.OSDalphablend = 1
Serial number of failed request: 337 Current serial number in output stream: 338
