Hi,
Using my PS3 as a vdr client is also my target. But I experienced bad (de-)interlacing when watching SD TV using SD output (even with right resolution). I am now waiting the new HV xorg driver to have more control on the video than the already available fb blit mechanism. I did rewrite the fb driver of xinelib to enhace it with ps3 blit functionality and virtual fb but it did not improve the output quality. By the way, the PS3 have a colorspace issue to display the OSD with proper color palette under the fb. (X is not affected by this)
Actually I am using streamdev and xineliboutput together. Xineliboutput is good to pilot the server side from any linux based system. Streamdev + FF card + vdr is the best deal for client device (I am using this solution over wifi and it works like a charm) Streamdev + m3u patch is ideal to use VLC with playlist and allow Win OS to access the TV programs.
Hi, I would like to use my PS3 as vdr client as well. I'm currently using xineliboutput for my other client (on a standard PC), so this would be my first choice, but I've no problem to switch back to vdr-xine (which I used in the past - with the network patch... I moved to xineliboutput just because I don't want to patch xine-lib everytime anymore..)
Can you give more details of what are you using on your PS3?
Thanks, Graziano
Sure,
Standard FC 7 (I will soon upgrade it to FC 8) modified version of iwconfig to allow wpa-psk(2) to work Xine-lib cvs (v1.1.6) vdr-sxfe or vdr-fbfe as needed The PS3 is connected to a SD TV set.
As you can see it is not something complicated. Apparently when trying the same thing with HD (720p/1080p) television gives better result. (talking about picture quality) To enhance the picture quality on a SD TV you can deinterlace in sw before displaying the picture. The drawback is that an interlaced source is de-interlaced then interlaced again to coop with PAL standard.
I did put this project on hold until better fb or xv support is popping up ;-) May be you will also be interested to have a look here: http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=8364&postdays=0&postorder=a...
