[vdr] Re: EpiaFB?



Hi,
 
I tried this but didn't get perfect colour output. There seemed to be a solarisation effect, as though the TV chip only had a limited colour depth.
 
I also had problems with the board I had (a Jetway BN860T - effectively an EPIA but with a Celeron 1300MHz chip) using too much CPU playing MPEG2 videos. In the end I cheated and bought an EPIA-M motherboard instead (which uses the viafb driver). Bit of a getout I know!
 
Colours are much better with the TV chip on that board - but the frame size isn't completely right yet, and I don't think the deflicker filter is turned off which means that video output isn't perfect. But I'm sure it can be tweaked!
 
Hope this helps,
 
Colin
