I am trying to see if the following can be done and if so what is the best way to tackle it. I need to have a FreeBSD server that acts as the "video player" behind a small advertisement screen. I have tested several applications on FreeBSD through X and have had really good results on video playback. The issue I am running into is the advertisement will be controlled remotely and I need a way for the video or X desktop to be blacked out or not displaying when someone remotely chooses another video. I do not what anyone looking at the advertisement to see a X desktop while the video is stopped or changing. Also what would be a good command line driven mpeg player to use in this situation. The only thing I could think of was to somehow have a second video or tv-out card that would only be used to output the mpeg video from the mpeg player.(not sure if this is all possible) thanks joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
