Hi,
I'm trying to use DirectFB for my myth-setup. MPlayer is working fine
with -vo directfb.
At first, I installed qt-embedded-4.4.1 and DirectFB-1.2.3.
In myth, I had to change videoout_directfb.cpp (see attachment).
(the change is very very bad - I know, but I don't know yet anything
about Release() - the API of DirectFB doesn't say anything about it)
Next problems were (nearly all) .pro files:
I don't have OpenGL at the moment, but it always tries to link against
OpenGL, so this needs to be changed:
-------------------------------------------------
#The following line was inserted by qt3to4
-QT += network xml sql opengl qt3support
+QT += network xml sql qt3support
-------------------------------------------------
After that, myth compiled fine and started without any problems (with
option -qws). I saw the main menu as usual. But there are three problems
at the moment:
1. myth starts in a window
2. There is always the mouse cursor visible
3. Playback of Recordings (and LiveTV) does not work. It seems that NVP
is not starting - but I don't know why. You find a (shortened) log in
the attachments.
I read in the list, that DirectFB isn't really maintained. But maybe
there is someone who can give me a hint where the problems could lie and
how they may be solved.
