xine plugin to play through /dev/video16 ?

hello,

i hope i don't anger anyone by repeating my question

(i'm acting on the assumption (and hope!) that my previous post was mostly "missed" or mis-sorted into an old thread and thus not responded to.)

I have used mencoder in the above fashion to play a dvd (*pretty* cool). However, one cannot pause or fast-forward or affect anything else, using this method.

Can the xine plugin direct output to /dev/video16? (or does it only read from /dev/video0 ?)

If not currently, could it be enhanced to do so?

It would be *totally* cool to redirect xine output through and out of the PVR card and retain all the xine controls at the same time (slider, pausing, sync, etc.)

Poeple can be busy (so might forget about it) and it is encouraged to
re-post if there is no answer.

See above :-)

AFAIK anything that can output a mpeg stream can write to /dev/video16.
So if xine can be made to do this...

Dont know about xine too much but mplayer has ivtv support. The only
problem I remember with it is that it does mpeg video and audio only, no
transcoding. Also it probably had not had much testing yet so expect
problems.

Re: xine plugin to play through /dev/video16 ? [In reply to]

the chipset plays mpeg-2. Since dvd is mpeg-2, it is
able to play it. I wrote a plugin for xine that would
play the dvd's (with OSD, etc) but i was having
problems with the audio sync.

The code was posted to this list a few times if anyone
wants to give it another try.

let me know if you can't find it and i'll see if i can
dig it up
