Hi all,
Stumbled across this interesting news at viaarena.com today:
"New Linux player optimized for CLE266 chipset: Both Xine and VIA
developers have been working hard behind the scenes to bring you VeXP,
the VIA-enhanced Xine Player. It's is a program for Red Hat 7.3, Red Hat
8.0 and Mandrake 9.0 based on the Xine multimedia player. It uses
hardware-specific acceleration in decoding and display to have better
MPEG2 playback performance. VeXP is able to reduce more than 50% of the
normal CPU loading with specific hardware such as the VIA CLE266
chipset, featured on VIA's EPIA M-series Mini-ITX mainboards. End users
will benefit in two folds - much improved experience in video playback,
and reduced system power consumption from lower CPU utilization. You can
grab a copy at SourceForge.net"
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/viaexp/)
Anyone know if the methods used by the xine developers could be put into
practice here?
