[MPlayer-dev-eng] specify the xv port to be used

[Jean-Yves Simon]

Hello,


This little patch to the file main/libvo/xv_vo.c permits a user to
specify the output port for the xv device. It won't be useful for most
users, so why will you ask me?

Because those annoying nvidia drivers sometimes show a blue window
instead of the movie, using another port than the default overlay one
corrects this problem without restarting X :)


To know which port are available for output, use
xvinfo |grep port

once the patch applied & mplayer compiled, use it:
mplayer movie.avi -vo xv:port=140     (140 being the port of your
choice)
