Has someone had success with XvMC? Video decoding, even 1080i HDTV promo channels from Astra, works with very low CPU load but I get no VDR OSD and I think aspect ratio for 16:9 video is wrong. XvMC driver is from Nvidia 7676, vdr, vdr-xine, etc. are latest versions. X desktop size is 1368x768.
The same systems runs nicely with Xv output method but there is a little bit too little power to run a good deinterlacer such GreedyH without cheap mode for HDTV. It would be also nice to have automatic separate deinterlacer configurations for SDTV and HDTV but I belive that goes out of scope of vdr-xine plugin, right?
BR, Seppo
I have a 6600gt, version 8178 of NVidia's drivers and the following setup for VDR and Xine:
/vdr/setup.conf: xine.autoPrimaryDeviceMode = autoPrimaryDeviceOn xine.modeLiveTV.prebufferFrames = 8 xine.muteMode = muteSimulate xine.osdGammaCorrection = 123 xine.osdMode = osdBlendClipped xine.transparencyMode = transparencyOn xine.volumeMode = volumeChange
~/.xine/config audio.driver:esd audio.device.alsa_front_device:default audio.volume.remember_volume:1 video.driver:xxmc video.device.xvmc_bob_deinterlacing:1 video.device.xvmc_more_frames:1 video.device.xvmc_nvidia_color_fix:1 video.output.xv_deinterlace_method:none engine.performance.memcpy_method:mmxext
With that I get about 50 - 60% load with AMD XP 2800+ when watching EURO1080 via cable and OSD works also. My understanding is that you cannot use postprocess deinterlacers with xvmc, but I am not totally sure about that.
PS This config isn't used too often so it is most likely the best possible.
