I am using vdr-xine. xine with xxmc enabled works great: 12% cpu utilization (@1280x1024) The idea is to be able to play with a minimum of fuzz .avi files from within vdr I believe the externalplayer plugin + mplayer (with xvmc enabled), is the way to go? --------------- Subject: Re: playing divx from vdr Message-ID: <CAJw7DjAod+8yfiFA2YoVLPVx+OXD3b1zN4CR6C09tQnVeSPJyA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On 20 December 2011 17:46, Arturo Martinez wrote: > > > > On an old Machine (Pentium3 @ 1000Mhz with 1GB of RAM) running vdr > > 1.7.21 happily, what is the best (simple, no frills) way to play .avi > > files from within vdr?
