| 08:42 | rabeeh | captainigloo: which geexbox are you running? |
| 08:42 | rabeeh | 3.0 or devel? |
| 09:03 | jnettlet | rabeeh, are the dove datasheets and register manuals public? |
| 09:07 | rabeeh | jnettlet: yes |
| 09:08 | rabeeh | http://www.marvell.com/application-processors/armada-500/ |
| 09:08 | jnettlet | rabeeh, do you have them on your site? I was going through the wiki and couldn't find them. |
| 09:08 | jnettlet | I may have just overlooked them |
| 09:10 | rabeeh | i just added the link to wiki |
| 09:10 | rabeeh | http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/CuBox_hardware_specification#Overview |
| 09:12 | jnettlet | thanks |
| 09:21 | captainigloo | rabeeh: 3.0 |
| 09:21 | captainigloo | i watched tv shows yesterday hd and sd without problem :D |
| 09:29 | rabeeh | great |
| 09:29 | rabeeh | 3.0 is not the top notch though |
| 09:29 | rabeeh | the devel has more optimizations for vmeta |
| 10:05 | captainigloo | rabeeh: now i need to build enna |
| 10:06 | captainigloo | i would like to build it outside de geexbox tree |
| 10:06 | captainigloo | s/de/the |
| 10:22 | N30N | Hi captainigloo, is enna getting native vmeta or just going to be using gstreamer? |
| 10:23 | jnettlet | enna uses gstreamer as far as I know |
| 10:26 | rabeeh | enna uses libplayer that can be ffmpeg, gstreamer |
| 10:26 | rabeeh | i think |
| 10:30 | N30N | rabeeh: be good to get some feed back on this: http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=538 |
| 10:30 | jnettlet | looks like it supports using the mediaplayer directly not the libraries, so mplayer, xine, vlc, gstreamer |
| 10:30 | N30N | rabeeh: evnen if just to say it's not possible |
| 10:33 | rabeeh | N30N: yes. it's possible |
| 10:33 | rabeeh | but not quite recommended |
| 10:34 | rabeeh | but the way it's described on the forums won't work |
| 10:34 | rabeeh | CuBox supports dynamic frequency scaling that you can get the CPU/DDR freq higher and lower in runtime |
| 10:34 | rabeeh | s/CuBox/Dove |
| 10:35 | rabeeh | but that is not enabled in CuBox |
| 10:38 | N30N | Is there plans to add support? Would it be much work porting these patches: http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=851 |
| 10:44 | rabeeh | it's not straightfoward. you need to have the power management unit enabled and lots of other stuff |
| 10:44 | rabeeh | but at the end i'm not sure if CuBox package can hold the 1GHz |
| 10:44 | rabeeh | i mean it was designed with constrained power consumption |
| 10:49 | captainigloo | yes enna uses libplayer which is a framework on top of mplayer, gstreamer, xine and vlc |
| 10:49 | captainigloo | there is also an engine based on emotion |
| 10:49 | captainigloo | the video library of EFL |
| 10:50 | captainigloo | which supports gstreamer, xine and vlc |
| 10:50 | captainigloo | which library has a vmeta implementation ? |
| 10:52 | N30N | captainigloo: It's only implemented in xbmc: http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Building_XBMC |
| 10:53 | captainigloo | ah so you get only vmeta acceleration with xbmc ? |
| 10:53 | captainigloo | no implementation in gstreamer for example ? |
| 10:55 | N30N | captainigloo: yep gstreamer has hw acceleration, was just wonding if enna could do without the overhead |
| 10:56 | rabeeh | captainigloo: gstreamer is there too |
| 10:56 | rabeeh | actually gstreamer was the first, then gimli ported that to native xbmc |
| 11:00 | captainigloo | ok i see |
| 11:01 | captainigloo | so if gstreamer has hw acceleration it should be ok |
| 11:01 | captainigloo | i guess that xbmc vmeta support is better than the gstreamer one ? |
| 11:04 | rabeeh | it's much more smaller implementation |
| 11:04 | rabeeh | actually something like 600 lines of C code |
| 11:04 | rabeeh | i was hoping we can get native libav support for vmetea |
| 11:04 | rabee | 11:04 * rabeeh stares at janne :) |
| 11:05 | rabeeh | any brave soul #cubox can take this? |
| 11:05 | captainigloo | what's libav |
| 11:05 | captainigloo | ahh ffmpeg ? |
| 11:11 | rabeeh | yes |
| 11:20 | captainigloo | where could i found the vmeta code in the xbmc repository ? |
| 11:21 | captainigloo | there is a link here : http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Building_XBMC#Native_VMeta_Decoder |
| 11:21 | captainigloo | which is broken |
| 11:21 | captainigloo | http://github.com/huceke/xbmc/commits/marvell-dove <= this one |
| 11:21 | N30N | captainigloo: see link ad bottom of the page |
| 11:21 | N30N | s/ad/at/ |
| 11:22 | captainigloo | which one ? |
| 11:22 | N30N | http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/List_of_CuBox_specific_patches#XBMC |
| 11:23 | captainigloo | ahh bottom, i missread :) |
| 11:30 | jnettlet | better gstreamer support is on it's way. My videobuf stuff will be done by the end of the year. |
| 11:30 | jnettlet | now that some of the last bits I was waiting for the bugs ironed out. |
| 11:31 | jnettlet | put 'to get' in there....stupid wireless keyboard |
| 11:31 | jnettle | 11:31 * jnettlet goes to get new batteries |
| 11:42 | rabeeh | captainigloo: does Enna require pulse? |
| 11:48 | Punkley_Chillin | jnettlet what u improving with gstreamer? |
| 11:50 | rabeeh | jnettlet: do you know if same vmeta hardware for your project would work on CuBox as-is? |
| 11:50 | rabeeh | jnettlet: do you know if same vmeta hardware libraries for your project would work on CuBox as-is? |
| 11:54 | jnettlet | rabeeh, as far as I know they should, although I haven't tested my libraries on your hardware yet. |
| 12:40 | RandomPixels | hello |
| 12:40 | dotarray | hello! |
| 12:40 | RandomPixels | found out something interesting that might be used on cubox |
| 12:40 | RandomPixels | youtube has a nice tv app that can be controlled via a smartphone |
| 12:41 | RandomPixels | https://plus.google.com/101912980608854649615/posts/h9iH18XWxSx tutorial on how to set it up |
| 12:46 | rabeeh | nice |
| 12:47 | rabeeh | i think it can work on Android Froyo on CuBox |
| 12:51 | RandomPixels | also on ubuntu i think |
| 12:57 | N30N | It's webbased — should work on any platform. |
| 12:58 | RandomPixels | yes N30N, but i don't know the underpaths of FroYo on CuBox, it doesn't need to work, it needs to run |
| 12:58 | RandomPixels | :) |
| 13:05 | N30N | Better off using the youtube addon for xbmc + smartphone remote app |
| 13:08 | captainigloo | rabeeh: it should not |
| 13:14 | captainigloo | ahh bottom, i missread :) |
| 13:14 | captainigloo | ouch sorry |
| 13:44 | captainigloo | rabeeh: hum; enna is stille working http://d.pr/i/omSw |
| 13:44 | captainigloo | better than what i tought |
