#6514 closed patch (Won't Fix)

video output on X11

Description

MythTV Version : 20376M MythTV Branch : branches/release-0-21-fixes Library API : 0.21.20080304-1 (Ubuntu 8.10 with v4l-dvb updates)

(previously sent to dev list but never showed up)

Remote X display does not worked when logged into backend via xdmcp.

Smaller patch allows Xlib to function.

Larger patch (includes smaller patch) permits Xv without Xshm.

Probably not 100% correct, but has been working even for HD, if somewhat stuttering. Should be readily added to 0.22 as well.

Mark maybe you can look at this since it's in the area you are currently working on.

I have a simplified version of the larger patch for 0.23 that seems to be working properly.

I've added the version of the patch I've been testing here. Currently this just uses the existing, shared memory approach but when finished will fallback to xvideo without shared memory (I'm uncomfortable with the changes to myhxdisplay).

Unfortunaly if I force the non-shm approach in the contructor, then it crashes. Not had a chance to dig into it but it looks like an alignment/buffer size problem. If you can test, that would be much appreciated.

Regards

Mark

Remote X server video display is working and is only intended for limited testing etc. The additional functionality (XVideo without shared memory) would be nice but I cannot get it working and I doubt anyone is really 'missing' it.

If someone wants to create a clean, working patch, then please re-open.
