K, that got me closer. I woulnd up using:
mplayer -vo fbdev -fbmode tv -vm [file_to_play]
Anid it displayed, centered on the framebufer display. However it was
pretty small (about 3" x 4"),
I run fbtv as "fbtv -mtv" and it pretty much fills the entire screen, which
is what I want to replicate, while playing recoded video.
Mode tv is defined in /etc/fb.modes as follows:
mode "tv"
# D: 49.188 MHz, H: 46.580 kHz, V: 75.008 Hz
geometry 768 576 768 576 32
timings 20330 128 32 32 8 128 5
endmode
Oh I had manually run an fbset -depth 24 before this test, if it matters.
