Mplayer 1.0pre5+G550+2.6+mga_vid TVout

[Kovesdi Gyorgy]

Hi,

I downloaded the latest version of the mga_vid (at 2004 dec).
Using the (x)mga output the following happens:

- The xmga works well, but the frame change is sometimes taken at the middle
of the screen, breaking the moving pictures.
- The mga TV output is unusable. There is a signal on the TV, but the lines of
the picture is broken while playing, and the whole screen is moving upwards
slowly. It seems that H/V synchron is not in-sync with the video signal. When
the playing is stopped, the line synchron gets good, but the upward moving
continues. The colour part of the picture is doubled horizontally, while the
B/W picture is good.

Does it need some special kernel setup? The documentation does not mention
about it.

Has anyone a similar but working configuration?
Any ideas?

BTW the normal fbdev works well.

Regards
Gyorgy Kovesdi

Tearing shouldn't happen as (x)mga uses tripple buffer.
Can you describe more precissely what's happening (including a -v log)

Uhm... Are you sure that this isnt your TV ? Or wrong settings
of the TV output ? Because mga_vid doesn't do anything there.
It's just a way to access hardware scaling of the card, nothing more.

No idea, don't have a card with TVout

hmm.. Although a totaly different system and unrelated to
mga_vid. If it works for fbdev it should also work for mga_vid.

But as usual: Too little information to say anything
