I am runing debian 64bit.
alpha? amd64? ia64? sparc? :-)
I am currently using rgb out of nexus But I want to switch to the Matrox g450 so I can down convert hd to sd. I am trying to use vdr-xine plugin, DirectFB with fb_xine for the matrox card and coreavc for decoder. The problem is getting xine 1.2 to build. Using latest HG make seems to compile but using fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage I get a lot of this:
pp.c:309: warning: statement with no effect pp.c:311: error: âpost_plugin_pp_tâ has no member named âpp_modeâ pp.c:312: error: implicit declaration of function âpp_postprocessâ
[snip rest]
Those errors don't make sense on their own. I'm guessing that there were errors before them...
And that is before trying to patch it with xine-lib-1.2hg-coreavc.diff. That as 2 hunks fail which I patch by hand. The failed hunks are:
[snip first failure]
demux_ts.c.rej
*** 220,226 ****
[snip]
ISO_14496_PART3_AUDIO = 0x11, /* ISO/IEC 14496-3 Audio with LATM transport syntax */
ISO_14496_PART10_VIDEO = 0x1b, /* ISO/IEC 14496-10 Video (MPEG-4 part 10/AVC, aka H.264) */
Not surprising since I added a bit to that code not that long ago.
STREAMDEV_H264_VIDEO = 0xe0 /* ISO/IEC 14496-10 Video (MPEG-4part 10/AVC, aka H.264) */
That change, together with any change which uses that constant, is BROKEN. It will cause failures when playing back TS files, recorded via xine-lib's DVB plugin, which contain MPEG2 video.
(xine-lib's TS demuxer is a bit broken here in that no descriptor tag was found so it's falling back on using a value from a different source as if it were the descriptor tag. 0xE0 only indicates that it's a video stream.)
Detection-by-content for the 'default' case for the video format detection code (around line 800) is what's needed. (Patches which implement this and this alone will be considered.)

demux_ts.c:222: error: expected â,â or â}â before âSTREAM_VIDEO_MPEGâ
You've either omitted a comma or added the extra line in the wrong place. :-)
[snip fallout from that error]
The switches I add to the debian rule file are:
--enable-directfb \ --disable-dxr3 \ --disable-xvmc \ --without-x \ --without-xcb \ --disable-altivec \ --disable-vis \
But I get the same errors with/out the switches.
Not surprising. It's mispatched.
