I'm seeking recommendations for one of those boxes that reads
video from Ethernet, decompresses it and feeds it to a TV.
Must have:
wired Ethernet in
s-video NTSC out
audio line out (typically via "RCA jacks")
works with FreeBSD
handles mpeg2 transport streams 480i, 720p 1080i
good "tricks" modes
seek
fast forward
slow motion, various speeds, both directions
freeze frame
advance 1 frame at a time, both directions
closed captions
zoom in/out (handle 4:3 pillarboxed within 16:9, ...)
Bonus points for:
time counter
frame grabber (save a .png or whatever as a file)
digital out (dvi, hdmi, displayport, ...)
free/open source
X11 server
Some boxes fail with higher bitrate programs, don't handle the
so-called "tricks" modes well, have unreliable hardware, ...
