OMXplayer on framebuffer using the licenced hw decoding uses 20% and load is just under .5 I need to test divx for some movies Ive previously transcoded but the majority will be mpeg2 from myth. Lessons learnt!: Wasted "forever" compiling X and ratpoison only to find they are not needed as omxplayer does fine on framebuffer ext4 sucks (I dont know why I always start with the "recommended ext4" as all the guides suggest, only to find it sucks and I lose data etc ... in future start with reiserfs or maybe btrfs and forget the stone age. Once I got it stable I synced portage and started compiling ffmpeg ... ran out of inodes. So Ive now got portage over nfs but ext4 has gotta go (yes, I know I can reinstall with more inodes, but why go with it when there is better). Maybe someone can suggest something? omxplayer needs some work as I have only minimal control from a keyboard (basicly "q" for quit :) BillK
