I find it's very picky, eg if I try to use a repository with a set of packages that allegedly support VDPAU, vdr-sxfe doesn't work at all, and there are also difficulties getting xine, mplayer and gstreamer to all coexist with ffmpeg. > > they're only about £130 with the cashback offer.

The Microserver only takes low profile cards and the x16 slot is also the one nearest the side of the case so there's no room for a double height backplane or thick heatsink like this: http://www.ebuyer.com/240886-asus-geforce-g210-silent-512mb-ddr2-dvi-vga-hdmi-out-directx-10-1-en210-silent-di-512md2-lp- An 8400GS might fit, but I wouldn't expect its VDPAU capabilities to be up to much. I currently use 8200 onboard graphics with mplayer VDPAU and it's rather jerky as if it's dropping frames just on 720p (with the TV at 1280x720 so no scaling is required). But that could be mplayer struggling to sync 24fps to 60Hz. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
