I tried using a dxr3 as a vga overlay and it was a nightmare! Never really got it going properly. I think the main problem was getting the picture positioned correctly within the dxr3view window, and this also seemed to move about!
At least with mplayer it works ok.
Does mplayer use its own dxr overlay window? It's been a while since I tried these things!
What has to be done to get dxr3 plugin to output on overlay?
The em8300 drivers (for the dxr3) have the dxr3view application which gives you a window with the dxr3 output in it. _I think_ all I did was run vdr with the dxr3 plugin and then run dxr3view to see the output in a window. You need to specify that you want loopback when you load the dxr3 modules.
% modinfo em8300 % modinfo bt865 (or the other one, depending on the dxr3 version!)
to see which parameters. They are documented on the home page of the dxr3 drivers.
