I'm was hoping there would be some way of having vdr adjust its own
display mode based on the afd. In any case this is of super low
priority, just getting the image display correct is the biggest issue
for me.
VDR doesn't process the video stream: VDR just records it ;-)
It's xine which has to do processing and scaling.
Yes, I understand that, but I do not have any idea about how the vdr
menu system works in relation to this, I was thinking that if xine
expands the display, the menu will expand on a 1:1 scale, un thus some
of the menu would be cut off. If this is incorrect then great ;-)
Well, you are right but vdr-xine can compensate this. Either choose "X11
overlay" or "Blend scaled Auto" in vdr-xine's setup menu (OSD display mode).Anyway, I'd like to give it a try to implement AFD into xine but I need
your support as mentioned above. And I also think that it should be
possible to do the scaling even with vidix. I own a Matrox G550 and use
it with the vidix driver too, so I can test it that way.
The basic idea is to do the opposite of xine's expand post process
plugin which puts 16:9 material into a 4:3 frame at almost no CPU cost.
Works even with vidix (but not with xxmc which I use for a VIA EPIA board)!
OK cool, but I use vidixfb for my tv-out can you test this also??
