#8134: MediaPlayer use drawbitmap mode instead of overlay mode -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Giova84 | Owner: stippi Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: | Version: R1/alpha3 Applications/MediaPlayer | Keywords: mediaplayer video Resolution: | overlay disabled drawbitmap slow Blocked By: | video Has a Patch: 0 | Blocking: | Platform: All -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by axeld): MediaPlayer's overlay support is relatively poor, as it will just try the decoders preferred format. For ffmpeg, this generally seems to be RGB-32 which only few cards to support. To get overlay working, MediaPlayer would need to ask the app_server for supported formats, and then try those. Or just try a few more anyway - the most common overlay format is YCbCr, so it should at least try that one. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8134#comment:2> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
