There are currently two ways to get the source for this driver: by downloading a 'stable' release or by downloading the latest source via CVS. Depending on how old the last release is, it may be best to try out the CVS.

• Download a Release

  If you decide to try one of the 'stable' releases, please note that as of yet none are really quite stable. They are more akin to Mozilla's milestones in that there are still many bugs to be worked out. Please use the first download link if possible as it tracks the number of downloads.
  
  

  • Releases (alternate)

• Source Via CVS

  #include <stdcvswarning.h>
  Ok, yeah, you know CVS is often broken and unstable. Well, yeah, but we still need you guys to check out from CVS and report those bugs. So please do. See the SourceForge project page for info about how to access CVS, and use em8300 as the module name.

• Video Player Software
  
  
  • MPlayer

    MPlayer gives you fast VCD/DVD playback, as well as playback for all supported MPlayer codecs. Make sure to read the DXR3 text included in the documentation! To use MPlayer you need to have em8300 0.9.0 or later installed.

  • Xine

    The latest versions of Xine allow DVD and DIVX playback via the DXR3. When using the version from CVS, DVD navigational menus are implemented also. The DXR3 support is now inluded with Xine, so the patches linked to below are no longer necessary.

  • OMS

    OMS is essentially dead. Use Xine or MPlayer instead.
