I've played around with video_mixer.. a few questions when I connect the mixer to mediaplayer output, the debug shows that it triggers MediaTrackVideoSupplier:: _SwitchFormat() making codec change colorspace (wreaking all kinds of havoc and stopping playback). do you think is it feasible to make video_mixer to accept whatever color space it is offered off the bat so I wouldnt need to worry about the codec thats pushing out the frames? maybe the preferred way would be to modify the codec to push out B_RGB32 (internal format of the video_mixer) to avoid multiple colorspace conversions. but for testing i wouldnt mind doing it on the video_mixer side I guess. another question, yep there's more, how can i get debug output from video_mixer.media_addon? cant start it from the terminal. cheers, sami
