Come to think of it, the SDTV DVB stream is only a few megabits per second, and it is the compressed MPEG stream that is being transferred. However, I wouldn't try this over WLAN.

[vdr] SetPlayMode() on radio channels
Hi, is there a special reason that SetPlayMode() is always called with "pmAudioVideo" even on radio channels instead of pmAudioOnly or pmAudioOnlyBlack? It would make things much easier if it would do so (for displaying a background image). Can you give me a hint where I could change this? cheers, Tim ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I am using it on a switched 100Mbit net without a problem. Have a look another projects either www.plutohome.org or www.mythtv.org Especially plutohome.org seems to be, with regards to VDR, in a not so Plug'n'Play state at the moment.

The error protection in streaming protocols didn't seem to be able to cope when I tried over WLAN (54g with not terribly good reception). IIRC I was using dvbstream.

The thing with the XBOX is that it pretty much has a standard PC with a standard Geforce 3.5 (AFAIR it is something between the 3 and the 4). So it should have hardware acceleration, which makes it a quite good platform for a video player, although i wouldn't buy one myself. The xbox does have the hardware but (like the PS3) has no accelerated drivers to use it. Video access is done through the framebuffer but this is more than enough for dvd playback which is the same resolution as sdtv. XBox has accelerated video driver in DirectFB (video overlay with YUV->RGB conversion and scaling). Decoding 720x576 mpeg2 with xine-lib uses ~20% of CPU power, another 10% is used to copy data around. > I am actually looking into a building a working dtv rig for the > (original) xbox but am much more limited by the "mere" 60mb (64mb-4mb > for the framebuffer) of memory Memory is just enough for simple DirectFB player, even with no swap (I use xineliboutput vdr-fbfe on diskless XBox). But for VDR and software player RAM is definetely too small. Anyway, installing VDR to XBox does not make much sense as one can't attach DVB cards to XBox, so using separate server for cards (and VDR) is required. There are usb 1.1 digital tv sticks in existence that could be used with the xbox. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
