<B>Q: SDL output doesn't work or compile. Problem is ....
|
||||||
~~~~~~
|
</B>A: It is tested with newest SDL (probably runs on 1.1.7+).
|
||||||
Many people asked same questions so I decided to write this stuff.
|
It does NOT work with 1.1.6, 1.1.5 1.1.4 1.1.3 1.0.4 etc, don't ask.
|
||||||
I know that people will never read this but at least i try to
|

pull down number of these mails.
|
|

And from now i can say that "read the fuckin' FAQ!" :-)

Let's ask!

~~~~~~~~~~
|
about "undefined reference to `SDL_EnableKeyRepeat'" What's now?
|

Q: What about DVD playback?
|
</B>A: Where did you install the SDL library? If you installed in /usr/local

(the default) then edit the top level config.mak and add

used: you must specify the -vm and the -fs switch, and you're done.
|
||||||
|
Make sure you have the right Modelines in your XF86Config file, and
|
||||||
|
try if the DGA driver (and SDL's DGA driver, see VIDEOCARDS) works for you.
|
||||||
|
It's much faster. If SDL's DGA works too, use that, it'll be EVEN
|
||||||
|
faster!

<B>Q: Why is video_out cpu usage zero (0%) for mpeg files?

</B>A: It's not zero, but it's built in into codec, so can't be measured separated.

The only common thing between these players is the Win32 DLL loader.
