-> image appears on screen
-XINE run-time configuration
-===========================
-
-XINE has several configuration options in $HOME/.xine/config
-(see also doc/README.config_en)
-
-dxr3.devicename:
- /dev/em8300-0 The absolute path to the dxr3 control device.
-
-dxr3.preferred_tvmode:
- default Keep the current driver setting
- ntsc NTSC 60Hz
- pal PAL 50Hz
- pal60 PAL 60Hz
-
-dxr3.videoout_mode:
- letterboxed overlay
- Overlay Video output on the VGA screen
- with the option of switching on-the-fly
- to tvout (see 'VGA Overlay Feature' below).
- The overlay will be displayed with black borders
- if it is anamorphic. This is only useful in
- the rare case of a DVD subtitle that would
- only display properly in letterbox mode.
- A good example for that are the animated
- commentator's silhouettes on "Ghostbusters".
- widescreen overlay
- Overlay Video output on the VGA screen
- with the option of switching on-the-fly
- to tvout (see 'VGA Overlay Feature' below).
- The more common variant of dxr3 overlay.
- letterboxed tv
- Send video to the tv out connector only.
- This is the mode used for the standard 4:3
- television set. Anamorphic aspects will be displayed
- letterboxed, pan&scan material will have the image
- cropped.
- widescreen tv
- Send video to the tv out connector only.
- This mode is intended for 16:9 widescreen tv sets.
- Anamorphic and pan&scan content will fill the
- entire screen, but you have to set the tv's aspect
- manually.
-
-dxr3.keycolor: (overlay only)
- 0x80a040 Hexadecimal RGB value of the key color. Should
- not need to be changed.
-
-dxr3.color_interval: (overlay only)
- 50.0 Tolerance for keycolor. A higher value allows higher
- range of keycolors. Intended for compensation of
- color errors on VGA output. Smaller value is better
- for not using the "wrong" colors as overlay.
- Meaningful range: 20.0 - 200.0
-
-dxr3.scr_priority:
- 10 Priority of the dxr3 scr plugin. <5 means that the
- unix system timer will be used. >5 forces to use
- dxr3 as sync source. If you don't understand this
- keep the default value.
+XINE configuration
+==================
-dxr3.decoder_priority:
- 10 Priority of the dxr3 video decoder plugin. <5 means
- that hardware decoding by the card will be disabled
- and libmpeg2 will be used instead. Therefore all video
- material including mpeg will pass the software
- decoding and mpeg re-encoding stages.
- (see also above explanation of the encoding mode)
+The dxr3 video driver can be forced using the "-V dxr3"
+command line option. Only the tvmode value has to be edited
+if the default driver setting is not correct. Of course you can also
+use xine-ui's setup dialog to edit your configuration. Have a look
+at the DXR3 section of the configuration.
-dxr3.contrast:
-dxr3.brightness:
-dxr3.saturation:
- 500 Should not need to be changed manually. Use xine
- to adjust these as necessary. Range: 100 - 900
-
-dxr3.alt_play_mode:
- 1 Enables or disables an 'enhanced' buffer mode available
- on at least some cards. Noticable improvements have been
- seen with 'glitchy' streams with intermittant pauses.
-
-dxr3.sync_every_frame:
- 0 Tries to set a synchronization timestamp for every frame.
- Normally this is not necessary, because sync is sufficent
- even when the timestamp is set only every now and then.
-
-dxr3.correct_durations:
- 0 Enables a small logic that corrects the frame durations of
- some mpeg streams with wrong framerate codes. Currently a
- correction for ntsc streams erroneously labeled as pal
- stream is implemented. Enable only, when you encounter
- such streams.
+Here are some additional settings interesting for the DXR3:

+audio.oss_device_number:
+ 0-16 Machines with a dxr3 installed often have a usual
soundcard too. If audio playback occurs on the
wrong device, the demanded device can be set using
this option.
-The following settings only concern the mpeg encoding part:
-
-dxr3.enc_alt_play_mode:
- 1 See dxr3.alt_play_mode. The difference is that it's
- used for the encoding mode.
-
-dxr3.enc_swap_fields:
- 0 Swaps the even and odd field of the image. Enable this
- option for material which produces a vertical jitter on
- screen.
-
-dxr3.enc_add_bars:
- 1 Add black bars when the image has an aspect ratio
- unhandled by the card. This is needed to maintain proper
- proportions.
-
-dxr3.encoder:
- Mpeg encoder backend to use.
- Depending on what's compiled in, can be "fame" or "rte"
- or "libavcodec". The "libavcodec" encoder makes use
- of the ffmpeg plugin that already ships with xine-lib,
- so you do not need to install any additional library
- for that. Even better is that libdavcodec also provides
- high quality with low CPU usage. Using "libavcodec" is
- therefore strongly suggested. "fame" and "rte" are
- still there, but the code has not been updated, so
- current versions of both libs might fail to work.
-
-dxr3.fame_quality: (libfame encoder only)
- 0-100 The quality setting of the fame mpeg1 encoding. Lower
- is faster but gives noticeable artefacts. Higher is
- better but slower. Values between 0 and 100, 90
- is a good initial value.
-
-dxr3.rte_bitrate: (librte encoder only)
- 1000-20000 The bitrate in kbit/s of the librte mpeg1 encoder
- output. Lower is faster, but it the difference is not as
- big as with libfame's quality setting. If you get dropped
- frames, it's better to use the libfame encoder.
-
-It is recommented to run XINE one time before editing the config,
-since all options get written in .xine/config and have their default
-values. The dxr3 video driver can be forced using the "-V dxr3"
-command line option. Only the tvmode value has to be edited
-if the default driver setting is not correct. Of course you can also
-use xine-ui's setup dialog to edit your configuration.
