VDPAU - MythTV

VDPAU - MythTV

Turns out I wasn't even using VDPAU because I wasn't using the correct profile.

nspluginwrapper 1.3.0 and adobe-flash 10.1

Got this after my latest world emerge. Restarted LCDd and not getting it anymore. I should probably reboot my system after all of these updates and figure out what else has gone nutty.... in due time.

Some days I hate the gentoo package system...

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-820029-start-0.html

I didn't originally emerge "x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.4.2" because I felt like it, it did it automatically because it was a dependency, so why do I have to unmerge the darn thing myself?!?

mplayer using VPDAU

vi ~/.mplayer/config:


# Video
vo=vdpau,xv,
vc=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,
fs=yes
monitoraspect=16:9
# Audio
ao=alsa
afm=hwac3,


You could put options in conf, comma in end means fallback to default if earlier options don't work.
