Hi all, I'd like to report that I'm really impressed by the new setup I now have. The most problematic thing was proper transparent OSD which would not eat much CPU. I must tell that the xxmc (XVMC-VLD) decoding is nearly perfect, the OSD is fully transparent on this, and does not take any CPU at all, and the system is on par with softdevice. My current setup : * diskless system : EPIA ML6000 / 600MHz, 512MB, diskless, 100Mbps Ethernet, 12V power supply, no fan, no noise : 25W off the wall while decoding video * NFS root FS on the always-on server : fully Debian etch with e-tobi repository, no self compiled package, except kernel-source package for LIRC * VDR 1.6.0-2 * xineliboutput 1.0.3 * streamdev-client 0.3.4 * skinsoppalusikka 1.6.2 * femon 1.6.3 BTW : CPU usage was 2% when decoding SDTV MPEG2 video only, with no Alsa sound setup, and climbed to 20% when Alsa was finally configured and working. That's a bit strange to think that audio is 9x more CPU-intensive than video ;-) (I think it may also be a big slice of synchronization delays) Kudo to everyone involved in VDR, at all levels ! (problems/crashes reports will be for another day/post) -- NH _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
