Greetings Has anyone considered adding a high definition add on to Kaffeine ? Am I right in thinking that its a software number crunching exercise to do this, or is it handled by the firmware on the DVB card ? Just curious TIA -- Best wishes Richard Bown ##################################################################### Registered Linux User 36561 OS: Ubuntu 8.10, Intrepid, on AMD Dual Athlon 64 +4400: 8 GB RAM DDR2 Ham Call: G8JVM , QRA IO82SP, Interests Microwave ##################################################################### |

If you mean DVB-T/S/C HD reception, it depends just on the playing engine, i.e. libxine, which in turn utilizes libffmpeg. For example, on my systems, kaffeine plays HD streams, some of them with no problems at all, others with some skipping (the cause is unknown, there is enough CPU power), one of them has no sound... I believe that these problems will be fixed soon and then kaffeine will be fully HD Ready :-). With regards, Pavel Troller |
