[linux-dvb] OMS as a decoder for Nova card

[Steve Brown <sbrown@cortland.com>]

TS files produced by test_dvr seem to play on OMS (linuxvideo.org). I
also managed to pipe the output of test_dvr through a fifo. You have to
modify test_dvr's i/o to a multiple of 188 for the fifo to work. OMS
needs an extension of .ts to select the correct demux plugin.

OMS currently has the vid/aud pids hard coded in its ts demux.  Not very
elegant, but it does play both files and off the air.  Although the
audio is a bit late, the video is in sync with a tv hooked to a
commercial receiver. I haven't looked at how they do synch.

I've even been able to play the video of a stream that seems to be 4.2.2
and contains field pictures that my commercial receiver just gives up
on.

OMS uses about 25% of my 600Mhz machine. I'm running 2.4.3 and XF86
4.0.3. I suspect the reasonable performance is the yuv conversion and
scaling compliments of XVideo and a G400 display card.

Thought you would be amused,

Steve
