Re: vlc on fit-pc2 odd coloring/flickering

I currently only have two dvd images on the box, and they are both exactly alike (two kids dvds of same series :) - and they both have the problem.

Re: vlc on fit-pc2 odd coloring/flickering

Have you been able to compile VLC with vaapi ? No as I said it spits out a compile error and stops compiling :) It seems the v1.0.2 from the mentioned repo has vaapi support - it can play the dvd image without problems atleast. I posted the details as to how I solved it, so that it could perhaps he...

vlc on fit-pc2 odd coloring/flickering

Hi. I've installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my fit-pc2 and with mplayer-vaapi it works very well, and can even play a Birds 1080p mkv without loosing frames. I have a DVD image - but mplayer skips through it and can't really play it (mplayer never was good at dvd's), so I tried vlc - but it has very odd color...

Re: hdtv recording with mythbackend and fit-pc2?

Thank you for the feedback. Do you know if it can take two (or even 3) usb tuners at once? or is that too much for one SSD disk? Btw. I'm running Ubuntu-9.04 and with mplayer-vaapi (and mplayer running with nice -n -10) I was around %89 idle when playing a 1080p movie. with regular mplayer it didn't...

hdtv recording with mythbackend and fit-pc2?

Hi guys, I'm using a fit-cp2 as a mythtvfrond+bacend right now and am looking to setup a decent backend system - with low power usage though. I was wondering if the fit-pc2 could be used with the hauppage hdpvr box: http://www.hauppage.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html ? If I install an SSD disk in ...

Re: How to boot Ubuntu 8.04 Gnome without a Monitor?

It's kinda hard for my wife/kids to have to do that to use it. Currently I tell them to shut it off (keep the power button in for 10 secs until the lights go off) and turn it on again when they are on the hdmi1 input. Just think it's kinda sad that X can't handle a case where the monitor happens to ...

Re: How to boot Ubuntu 8.04 Gnome without a Monitor?

Well - then we don't have "exactly" the same problem as my fit-pc2 is used as a htpc - and is attached with dvi to my tv. So it won't work with vnc or anything else - I simply need it to go to correct resolution - and NOT try to "autosenses" if the tv is currenctly present/connected. I've tried sett...
