Not yet. I will try that next.

So you get a blank screen?

Video Overlay allows the decoder to use YUV output instead of RGB for
faster decoding.
I am hoping to use this sort of machine as a media viewer. I
currently use a MediaGate 350. It outputs 1080i but does not handle
mkv files and has problems with a number of mp4 files.
Under windows 720p works fine but then starts to struggle as we head
towards 1080p.
I am not expecting miracles for performance under Haiku (The CPU is
unlikely to be up to the task of 1080p) but a machine where I can fix
decoder issues does appeal to me.

Not interested in VLC. Trying to improve all the decoders so that
MediaPlayer works the best.
But first step is getting this machine to a state where I can develop
on it. Reduce that code->compile->transfer to other machine->test
cycle.
