 Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2003 8:06 am Post subject: xawtv and fullscreen |
 |
|
I have xawtv 3.86-r1 working on with my NVidia Geforce3. Even fullscreen without black borders and remote control support work. The only problem is, that my KDE bar remains visible when I switch to the fullscreen mode. Doesn't happen when I watch a movie in xine. Anybody an ideas how to change this?
Thanks in advance |

I don't have an answer for you...but a some questions (sorry  )
What hardware are you using for the remote control?
What did you do to eliminate the black border?
Hey! I might have a suggestion...check the properties of the KDE bar...I believe there is an "always on top" type of property that might be keeping XawTV from using the whole screen.
TIA and...hope that helps

Xawtv has (at least) two methods of drawing on the desktop - one method uses a hardware 'overlay' which basically gives the TV card a section of addressable memory to write the TV frames to, and this is displayed on the desktop. Typically, the size of this is limited by the TV card. In the other mode, the data is read by xawtv, processed, possibly scaled, and drawn to the desktop. This is, of course, far slower. But it does allow arbitrary scaling of the data, as well as filtering, deinterlacing, etc.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's the gist of it.
undrwater: so you can have full screen by choosing the non-overlay method. But you'll take a CPU hit. Alternatively you could do what I do and run your X server at 800x600 and then the overlay takes up almost the entire screen. |

@undrwater
I have a Hauppauge WinTV PCI Card (BT878) with remote control. To remove the black borders in full screen mode, I added
to the Module-Section of my /etc/X11/XF86Config.
I had seen, that I can auto-hide the KDE-bar in the Control Center, but I don't actually like this and there should be another solution (like e.g. xine).
@meowsqueak
I configured xawtv in overlay-mode. I can check what grabdisplay does, but I don't see yet, how this might help me with my problem. Well, I'm probably too n00bish to understand without trying |

How simple is that to get proper fullscreen  I should've read the v4l stuff a bit more thoroughly I think...
@undrwater:
for a lirc remote control guide (hauppauge only I think) have a look at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=71148&highlight
