You should not use multiple XV with programs unaware of each other at the same time since the result is undetermined It's not at the same time. mplayer, xawtv, and mythtv were all run one at a time. On a side note totally unrelated to this bugpost, the first and last switch to x11 output if Xv is unavailable, while xawtv will complain about the Xv port being unavailable. The bug report is about serial execution of mplayer using Xv and xawtv. MPlayer now disables automatic colorkey painting since this created problems in the past (xvinfo will show this as XV_AUTOPAINT_COLORKEY). xawtv wrongly assumes this is activated. With a sufficiently new MPlayer version (not sure if that include pre7) you can use -vo xv:ck-method=auto. There is also a tool to set all those Xvideo variables, but I forgot the name. But the best solution would of course be fixing xawtv. I just checked. xvinfo does list XV_AUTOPAINT_COLOR as 0, but "xawtv -xv -xv-video" actually works properly. For some reason I'm unable to have the behavior repeat itself now. My only real guess is that my turning off of "ColorTiling" under "Device" in xorg.conf has something to do with it. However, I've created a patch to xawtv to set XV_AUTOPAINT_COLOR to 1. Perhaps someone else who is experience the problem right now can tell if it works. Created attachment 62019 [details, diff]
Should cause xawtv/motv/rootv to enable xv_autopaint_colorkey
xawtv is media-tv's package. Thank you for the patch. :-) Now it works for me. It would be nice if the patch comes in the portage. Fixed in 3.95. |
