Hi. Since my previous post, I found the dvb API which contains everything I need to understand tha various elements of the device driver. The documentation is daunting, though well made when you read it for the first time. My previous question still hold , is it possible to use to use card as the only video output device in a system ? Some of the API calls look quite usefull for that like the possibility to display a still picture (menus for example). Could someone give me a pointer to code examples showing how it is used for displaying, let's say an mpeg stream ? (I would prefer no to shuffle through mplayer code for that ...) Thanks in advance.
