 |
|
Does anyone have a good howto on making tv-out work with a nvidia-card?
Also:
Is there some kind of settopbox-wm that includes a movieplayer, mp3-jukebox and maby a nes-emulator?
It would be wonferful to have one of those and a joystick to controll it with.  |

Hi...
Just add this to your XF86Config after you existing Section Monitor
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TV"
HorizSync 30-50
VertRefresh 60
EndSection
Then add this to your Section Screen
Option "TwinView" "On"
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768;800x600,800x600;640x480,640x480"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,TV"
Voila you got your tv-out. |

emerge nvtv
With this software you can easily set up your tv out and play with the settings. |

I was thinking the same thing to have a seperate box just for viewing divx movies etc on the tv. Until I have been told that it isn't really that special...
More opinions about this?

One of my friends has a 400mhz computer which is only connected to the TV and a hub. This has been working very well. He's got a wireless keyboard and mouse. I think this is a good idea..if you have got some computers just doing nothing. ;)

I was having so much trouble with getting both out at a time, that I booted Windows. It does CRT, or it does TV. Period.

Here's how I got the monitor and the TV working at the same time. I don't know if it'll work for you, but it works fine for me.
Option "TwinView"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "MetaModes" "1152x864, 800x600 @800x800; 1024x768, 800x600; 800x600, 640x480"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
I'm in the US so the TVStandard is NTSC-M, and you should use whatever is appropriate for where you live. I've also got it set so that the TV has a virtual desktop of 800x800, to make it easier to resize Xine and Realplayer (yuck, I have a lot of stuff in that format) windows to take up the whole screen. I put these in a second config file at /etc/X11/XF86ConfigTV, and then added this line to .bash_profile
alias tv="startx -- -xf86config XF86ConfigTV"
So this way when I want X to start up with the TV connected, I just type "tv" at the command line. |

emerge nvtv
rc-update add nvtv default
reboot or "/etc/init.d/nvtv start"
start playing your favourite divx movie with Xine
double-press F-button (normal view -> fullscreen -> TV-Out)
enjoy  |

Yes, I did what you told me to do. I installed this nvtv program and I get a picture on my TV..but the picture is small and only shows a small part of my screen.
I have tested all the settings..they just dont work.
Anyone know this?

When I use nvtv I have to change my XF86Config to 800x600 resolution to be able to see the whole screen.
If you have a bigger resolution, you will only see a small part of it. |

You might have a different setting for your tv, like PAL vs. NTSC

You may need to set that up in xine's option screen though (TV)
Furhtermore if the image doesn't fit nicely on the TV screen, You can create or modify modes in the sourcecode of nvtv. I have removed all unuseful modes from nvtv and only have one fo DVD and one for desktop 800x600. This works just EXCELLENTLY. (Even better that DVD in windows ever worked)
Find the "usage.??" file in /usr/share/doc/nvtv??? to tell you how to go about this. |

its not working.. and i can't find any solution for this problem so please allow me some questions about that.
I personally don't have any "TV tab "in xine
- do i need to compile xine with support for nvtv ?
- which versions of xine-ui, xine-lib & nvtv working together ?
thanks for the help.
cherico
(using nvtv 0.4.4, xine-ui 0.9.21, xine lib 1_beta12r1) |

If you have nvidia's drivers then change:
to
And then I'm quite sure, (maybe i've understood it wrong), that the options under the screen section should be under the same device section as your nvidia card..
Hope this helps![/code] |

TV-out dont work for me, because my card keeps putting my tv as head 1 and my DVI monitor gets secondary......
I've tried to change this by:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP,TV"
But still i get the same result. |

try making the first metaMode 800x600, NULL
and your second something that activates the second screen!
MIGHT help, butits a longshot! (possibly fool your card into thinking there is only your monitor, instead of also a TV)
then again, you could also just switch the metamodes around to make it fir on your second screen (DVI)
like a 800x600, 1280x1024 setup, thatw ay the TV gets 800*600 and the monitor gets 1280*1024
*note, i dont know if 1280*1024 is real, it was off teh top of my head to make a point

With PAL the vertical refresh is 50hz, isn't it? 60hz is for NTSC, I think. |
