Tweaking startup and using TV out

Burn plugin still needed GenIndex application which can be found from here. After that I was able to create DVD with DVB ot Teletext subtitles.

MP3 plugin needs CDFS to be able to play audio CDs, so I patched it to be able to compile it for latest kernel and tried it out, but I couldn't get it work. I also had some problems with DVD plugin so I decided to give a try for xineliboutput.

Xineliboutput seems to work fine so far. I had to install xinelib related packages for it. I also noticed that default volume level for sounds was always zero and system didn't have mixer installed so installed alsa-utils to get alsamixer.

Next change was to prevent XCFE start on boot, so I changed runlevel to 3 from 5 from /etc/inittab

id:3:initdefault:

After that I can start XCFE by typing startxcfe4 or start plain X Window system by typing startx. Later is better for VDR usage, but by default it launched some applications like clock and xterm. That can be prevented by editing /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients. I added comments to xclock, xterm and firefox. I also added following entry for setting overscan to zero for TV out.

    if [ -x /usr/bin/xrandr ] ; then

        exec /usr/bin/xrandr --output TV --set BOTTOM 0 --set RIGHT 0 --set TOP 0 --set LEFT 0 -display :0

    fi

/etc/X11/xorg.conf needed also changes for Mac Mini's TV out, those instructions can be found from here. After those changes I can get great full screen picture on my TV with Mac Mini.
