Unlike the version of MRUA in the GPL_DA tarball, this one explicitly supports EM8622/EM8623 and seems to be compatible with what's in the existing Wiz kernel.

Here's Mono, the demonstration media player application (running over HDMI):

# ./mono -o dvi_24 -dvi_hdmi siI9030 -f HDMI_1080i60 -cs yuv_709 -asp 16 9 test.mp3

So, now that we have the capability to write audio/video programs, what are you planning to do with your Wiz today?

I assume you had to kill WizDVP etc for this to work?
Very cool, I was always wondering if it was possible to write something to output to GUI, but I thought our Wiz had a HDMI chipset/output that wasn't typical of an 8623 setup?

Yep, I booted my Wiz without WizDVP (by creating a config/nowizdvp file, see /etc/rc.sysinit). If you do this one important thing to note is that the network settings set in the GUI won't be applied, since that's apparently done by WizDVP, so you need to configure network settings in config/rc.local. I got bitten by this the first time around, good thing I had a serial console.

Mind you, most of the example programs work with WizDVP still running - the video/audio just gets hijacked - but I expect some bad things will happen if you then try to get back into the WizDVP GUI. I haven't tried that.

I'm not sure. As per openwiz.org it has a Silicon Image Sil9030 chip, which is one of the standard HDMI chips you can select in MRUA... I had no problems with it.

The TV part of the Wiz may be more challenging to get working. Does anyone know anything about the DVB-T demodulator chip (PNPNetwork Technologies PN2020AT, I believe)?

Nice find, Matt. I wish I could read Chinese.
