Greetings to All,
Yesterday I've received my Reel eHD so that I can enjoy hardware accelerated DVB-S/DVB-S2 playback/output on my VDR-1.7.0 installation in combination with the S2-3200.
Everything works, image is very good and I can enjoy HDTV without framedrops or stuttering :) The tutorials on vdr-wiki.de were very helpfull to get it all working. So cheers for the person who wrote it!
But I miss something in my setup. I used Xineliboutput before - for output in combination with my DVB Budget card - as a player for DVD's and other multimedia files (Xvid, MKV, MP3, etc). Obviously, this doesn't work anymore (I tried it, I don't get any output on the eHD)
According to vdr-portal.de, xinemultimedia seems to be the plugin so that I can enjoy multimedia using eHD as a output device. Besides the problems with getting xinemultimedia te compile, I wonder if there isn't an other option to have multimedia aspects in VDR using the eHD as an output device?
If there isn't, what do I need to compile/patch to get xinemultimedia working?
I think it's the following what I need:
- xinemultmedia plugin (figures); - Xine-lib 1.1.8 with xine-reel.diff; - xine-ehd plugin (so that Xine can use the eHD as a output device); - Filebrowser (Otherwise selecting files will be a problem, right?);
Is this correct? Because information about the eHD and multimedia aspects of VDR are a bit hard to find. And I don't know I like to fact to downgrade Xine-lib to 1.1.8 (I run Xine-lib 1.2.x now since it's part of Ubuntu 8.04).
