Hi all!
Is there anyone out there who is using the Via Epia MII 10000 or 12000 board with a current kernel and the 1.6.x build of vdr? I would need some some up to date-help in getting the onboard mpeg2-chip in use with the softdevice-plugin.
I'm currently running my system with a budget technotrend dvb-t card, and a full featured dvb-s card that handles the output of the picture. Now i'm moving to an area with a dvb-c network, and for that i got my hands on two buget dvb-c cards.
All documents i find is mainly for old 2.6 kernels (for example 2.6.10), and what i understood, the unichrome/cle266 patches for the onboard mpeg2 chip is not included in DirectFB or the main kernel itself...
There was an experimental epia softdevice a long time ago, but I don't think it has been updated lately.. It "worked" but it was quite unstable.
I ended up buying an used dxr3 card, they only cost a few bucks and are well supported by dxr3-plugin..
