13:56 Punkley_Chillin oh noes, @dotarray stole one of my cubox's :)
14:00 dotarra 14:00 * dotarray paints it pink
14:03 Punkley_Chilli 14:03 * Punkley_Chillin bets it will come back with stickers on it.
15:13 ralix Hello. I'm having problems getting 19020x1080@50HZ on my X and xbmc.
15:13 ralix Is it necessary to adapt the boot.scr or has anyone an example of an xorg.conf?
15:16 N30N ralix: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/alarm/xf86-video-dove/xorg.conf
15:17 rabeeh ralix: the issue you are having is because of the 50Hz?
15:18 Punkley_Chillin in Monitor add VertRefresh 50
15:18 N30N Hello rabeeh :)
15:18 rabeeh N30N: hi
15:18 Punkley_Chillin really who uses 60hz anyway :)
15:19 rabeeh i do
15:19 Punkley_Chillin wierd, prob got that 60hz power too
15:19 rabeeh nop
15:19 rabeeh power is 50hz; tv is 60hz
15:19 Punkley_Chillin tv should be 50hz also,
15:19 rabeeh why?
15:19 Punkley_Chillin matches power hertz, stops flicker on recording :)
15:20 rabeeh ??!!
15:20 rabeeh digital?
15:20 Punkley_Chillin when you record tv, so you don't get flickering from lights, you match your framerate with the power
15:20 Punkley_Chillin so your playback should technically be the same as the framerate :)
15:21 N30N rabeeh: When using the eSATA port the USB port(s) don't enough power (for a wifi adapter). Can this be fixed by using a different power supply?
15:28 ralix 1) The scrolling text flickers with tv station. 2) The X screen is too large. I can not reach lxmenu below right. I had the same problem with my old media center (intel atom, nvidia) Now that I have X configured for 50 Hz everything was ok.
15:29 ralix Punkley_Chillin, I'll try it with VertRefresh 50
15:43 Punkley_Chillin i think it is time for bed, night all.
15:48 ralix good night! I have not even closing time ;-)
17:04 N30N I need more amps right? 5V 2.5A not going to kill my cubox is it? I know nothing about this stuff.
18:54 ralix good evening...
18:55 rabeeh ralix: good night
18:55 N30N Hi again ralix
18:55 rabeeh N30N: you can use 2.5A
18:55 rabeeh but how much that wifi is taking from you?
18:55 N30N rabeeh: ah sweet :)
18:55 rabeeh today there is 600-700mA goes to Dove, memory and everything inside the chip
18:55 rabeeh this leaves 1A+ for the 2 USB which is more than what the spec requires
19:00 N30N I can't find power consumption specs.
19:01 rabeeh if that wifi stick is using than more 2.5W, throw it away :)
19:01 N30N one of the features is "Green WLAN technology for reduced power consumption"
19:03 N30N So trying/ordering a adapter with 2.5A has a chance of working?
19:04 rabeeh hmm..
19:04 rabeeh i don't know; it's pretty marginal since there is a protection on the two usb not to exceed 1A
19:05 rabeeh if you exceed then the power supply to the 2 USB might shut down
19:06 N30N 2250mA then?
19:06 rabeeh ?
19:06 rabeeh i don't think so
19:06 rabeeh it's the same
19:06 rabeeh 1000mA goes through the USB protection. either you have 2250mA 2500mA or 1000000000000mA
19:07 rabeeh N30N: i really doubt this is your problem
19:07 rabeeh 1000mA * 5V = 5Watt
19:07 rabeeh there is no way your wifi is taking 5W !!!
19:07 rabeeh it will explode :)
19:08 N30N It only has a problem when esata is powered up.
19:09 rabeeh esata takes ~230mW from internal power supplies. it's not related then.
19:09 rabeeh please try getting an extender USB cable. maybe you have issues with cabling.
19:10 N30N ah ok thanks, will test, got a extender right here :)
19:10 rabeeh btw - which one is shutting down? wifi or sata?
19:11 N30N wifi
19:13 N30N I plugged a illuminated keyboard in the other day to try to debug and the HDMI out stopped working so I though it was lack of power.
19:22 N30N Yep seems like it's just interference, thanks!
19:23 rabeeh anyone know how to identify if mpeg4 codec is using GMC - Global Compensation Table
19:23 rabeeh janne?
19:23 rabeeh N30N: which stopped working; wifi or esata?
19:23 N30N the wifi
19:33 janne rabeeh: spriteUsage in the vol header after as it looks from libavcodec source
19:39 rabeeh ok.
19:39 rabeeh thanks.
19:39 rabeeh vmeta has a bug that it can't decode mpeg4 with GMC
