I compile xine-lib-1.2 myself. I use mplayer-nogui (and have used mplayer2), but I don't use gstreamer, and don't bother installing ffmpeg since everything works fine without an external copy. > Wouldn't fit.

I haven't used an 8200igp as you are but based on my experience with 8400, I would guess 8400 is the minimum requirement. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
