2 Some words about Siemens-DVB card support. by A'rpi
|
|
3 ==========================================
|
|
4
|
1937
|
5 NOTE: this is very experimental!
|
|
6
|
1936
|
7 Requirements:
|
|
8 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
9 - Siemens DVB-S card or compatible (technotrend,galaxis,hauppage etc)
|
|
10 see www.linuxtv.org for details and download latest driver there.
|
|
11 - MPlayer-CVS, ffmpeg-libavcodec. divx4linux is recommended for speed & pp.
|
|
12 - Fast CPU - at least for software decoding (divx...)
|
|
13
|
|
14
|
1960
|
15 How to enable?
|
|
16 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
1936
|
17 1. Edit libvo/vo_mpegpes.c, and change first #undef HAVE_DVB to:
|
|
18 #define HAVE_DVB
|
1960
|
19
|
1936
|
20 2. Download ffmpeg-CVS and copy libavcodec to mplayer (see DOC for details)
|
1960
|
21 Move this line from #ifdef CONFIG_ENCODERS .. #endif section to outside
|
|
22 (after the #endif line) at libavcodec/utils.c:361 :
|
1936
|
23 register_avcodec(&mpeg1video_encoder);
|
|
24
|
|
25 3. Compile mplayer
|
|
26
|
1960
|
27 How to use?
|
|
28 ~~~~~~~~~~~
|
1936
|
29 To play standard mpeg 1/2 files: (hardware decoding)
|
|
30
|
|
31 mplayer -vo mpegpes -vc mpegpes file.mpg|vob
|
|
32
|
|
33 To play non-standard mpeg files: (software decoding)
|
|
34
|
|
35 mplayer -vo mpegpes file.mpg|vob
|
|
36
|
|
37 To play divx files:
|
|
38
|
|
39 mplayer -vo mpegpes -vc ffdivx|odivx file.avi|asf
|
|
40
|
1960
|
41 To play non-25fps movies, or with slow CPU, add option: -framedrop
|
1936
|
42
|
1960
|
43 Image size:
|
|
44 ~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
45 DVB card allows only 2 vertical resolutions: 288 and 576.
|
|
46 If your video height differs, you have to clip it or extend by adding
|
|
47 black bands. It's done by mplayer, just specify image size using the
|
|
48 -x and -y options. You must use either -y 288 or -y 576.
|
|
49
|
|
50 To force letterbox size (16:9 at 4:3 TV), add options: -x 352 -y 288

60 Future plans/TODO:
|
|
61 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
62
|
|
63 - audio playback through the DVB card (currently it uses soundcard)
|
|
64 - display OSD and subtitles using DVB card's OSD feature
|
|
65 - better (more fluent) playback of non-25fps movies
|
|
66 - more speed optimizations
|
|
67 - YUY2 support (for win32 codecs, like Indeo5 and WMV 7/8)
|
|
68 - realtime transcoding between mpeg2 <-> mpeg4 (partial decompression)
|
