IRC log of #cubox of Wed 28 Nov 2012. All times are in CET < Back to index

00:02 _rmk 00:02 * _rmk_ wonders... can this version of ffmpeg and vlc actually play this file in software mode
01:02 Coburn MOrning~
01:09 Kaboon goodnight ;)
01:12 N30N Coburn: I tested in XBMC and yes it was smooth
01:13 N30 01:13 * N30N needs to catch up on some sleep now
01:16 Coburn whcih one N30N
01:33 _rmk_ Coburn: both your m4v's play fine under gstreamer here, rabeeh said something earlier today about it as well... lemme dig it out the scrollback for you
01:33 _rmk_ oh I think you were around for that comment from rabeeh.
01:34 Coburn Paste it anyway
01:34 Coburn I left around 5PM my time
01:34 _rmk_ 09:41 < rabeeh> Coburn: ping
01:34 _rmk_ 09:44 * rabeeh plays wildlife baseline and high profile in ~70% CPU.
01:34 Coburn Righto
01:34 Coburn And?
01:34 Coburn is there any lag or stuttering?
01:35 _rmk_ for me under gstreamer, there didn't appear to be
01:36 _rmk_ it could be something specific to versions of stuff you have there
01:36 _rmk_ anyway, as for my project... not so successful.
01:36 _rmk_ it's H264. H264 has been a right pain for me under libva...
01:37 _rmk_ I'm now at the conclusion that H264 decoding via libva into vmetadec is impossible, because libva doesn't provide the backends with enough information to reconstruct the stream into a format that the vmeta closed source crap can understand
01:38 _rmk_ (that comment is more for the benefit of jnettlet)
01:38 Coburn x264 actually.
01:38 Coburn Also, encoded using Handbrake
01:39 Coburn Oh, your project
01:39 Coburn whoops
01:41 _rmk_ ... which uses ffmpeg as the encoder (read the hexdump of the m4v file) :)
01:52 Coburn mhm
02:33 dung sounds great what your doing, rmk. vlc, gstreamer, ...libva. rabeehh plays xbmc, shesseb mplayer. I didn't touch libmiscgen, only oldschool compiling the official downloads.
02:36 dung not even that yet. jumped in with dpkg-buildpkg, to try
02:40 dung it makes my days thinking about how it will work :)
03:47 Coburn Well, somehow I gotta make this setup work for this CuBox setup for my brother
03:47 Coburn he wants a CuBox to show little kiddy movies and such
03:47 Coburn I believe I said this before here
05:14 jnettlet Coburn, you aren't able to play those videos?
05:14 Coburn Well, I transcoded them
05:14 Coburn what I meant was the high profile one causes lag
05:16 jnettlet You are playing that in XBMC?
05:16 Coburn Yes.
05:17 Coburn GeeXbox latest dev snapshot.
05:17 Coburn 22112012
05:18 jnettlet does that distro come with the gstreamer decoding plugin?
05:22 Coburn I do not know
05:43 Coburn Alright, got a One for All TV remote
05:43 Coburn let me see if this LIRC works with it...
05:43 Coburn CUBOX, POWER ON
05:47 dung neofob: compile it on CuBox. some said they built a whole Gentoo/X. my uClibc toolchain is native on CuBox, but cross library. you'll have less troubles native. i had no nerves for scratchbox, no luck with "ready" toolchains. i learned slowly from LFS
05:48 dung it's long road http://www.linuxfromscratch.org see you in summer ;)
05:49 dung but it works
06:06 Coburn woah
06:06 dung geexbox is native vmeta
06:06 Coburn uh?
06:07 dung not gstreamer
06:07 Coburn I mean, what are you talking about?
06:07 Coburn I'm confused
06:08 Cobur 06:08 * Coburn stratches his head
06:09 dun 06:09 * dung answered.
06:18 dung Coburn, nice test video
06:29 dung yeah! thanks _rmk_ :) i've read the mediainfo with hexdump
06:33 jnettlet Coburn, hmmm I just played those videos fine under the newest Geexbox dev snapshot. There is a stutter in the beginning of the high quality video but after that the rest of it plays fine
06:37 Coburn Is it just VMETA getting off it's butt?
06:37 Coburn Like "Oh look, a video! I'm not so lazy!"
06:37 Coburn Sorry, making a cup of tea and also programming remotes with CuBox
06:43 Coburn Okay, I'm rebooting CuBox now to see if this remote works
06:43 Coburn Since I programmed it
06:55 Coburn XBMC, why don't you talk to my remote?!
08:42 Coburn Okay, calling it quits for tonight. Remote business is interesiting.
08:42 Coburn I'll have to sort it out tomorrow.
08:42 Kiranos_ there is info in the wiki
08:43 Kiranos_ just get down and dirty and program it yourself as it describes
08:43 Kiranos_ hit a key and see the output
13:38 jesse85K|bored anyone know excel?
13:40 jesse85K|bored i need to figure out how to put employees's work times in negative... but bloody excel won't allow me to put the hours "still owed" in negative...
13:40 Kiranos_ erm wrong hannel? :)
13:41 jesse85K|bored ah crap... have to look through that bloody list again for some kinda excel help channel... :(
13:44 Kiranos_ try #excel
13:44 jesse85K|bored aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's empty... :s
13:45 Kiranos_ ok might be better in quakenet or something dont know sorry
13:45 jesse85K|bored well thanks for the help... :)
14:00 dung Suse developed boot.scr
17:38 _rmk_ rabeeh: did you see my comment about h264 and libva?
20:52 dung good evening
20:53 dung back from..
20:53 dung nothing
20:53 _rmk_ that sounds really exciting
20:53 dung hi
20:54 dung it was
20:55 dung je mapell provocatoure~
20:56 dung :)
20:58 _rmk_ if you want non-english languages, I can play that game too but with an obscure one :)
21:00 dung no. stay in english. hexdump was exciting today
21:01 dung ascii hexdump -C
21:02 dung so easy
21:05 _rmk_ yup, only recently discovered it?
21:09 dung yup
21:37 dung also beside your coding experience it's nice to read correct english
21:38 _rmk_ I do my best :)
21:38 dung easy for you :)
21:39 _rmk_ not so good with other languages though, always struggled with french and latin.
21:40 dung english people often write words i have to google
21:41 dung i remember my english teacher.. he thought i can't spell the 'th'
21:42 dung i want to play thin lizzy to him
21:46 jnettlet english people often write words I have to google as well. Thos brits have a crazy form of english :-p
21:47 dung have you seen my website from cubox? it's almost ready.. there's a weekly overview (grep http links) http://80.66.46.65/CuBox/
21:48 dung some want to be better than the rest ;)
21:51 dung i prefer british.. international computing language is mostly chaotic
22:00 _rmk_ international computing language?
22:01 _rmk_ I assume you mean American English :) That's just British English with a lot of spelling mistakes. :)
22:06 jnettlet I thought it was with spelling corrections.
22:06 Punkley_Chillin hahahaha
22:07 _rmk_ that's a matter of perspective
22:16 dung oh; not read for ftp
22:16 dung oh; not ready for ftp
22:17 dung is this protocoll in use today? :)
22:18 Punkley_Chillin hmmm going to be 40/104 degress here today, thats a little warm
22:21 _rmk_ hmm. it was about 1/10 of that here today (in °C)
22:22 jnettlet just about 2C here in DK
22:29 jnettlet alot like this http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/12/nyregion/12snow.html?_r=0
22:32 dung i saw them in the mountains shipping snow :) ..where? they drive it uphill
22:34 _rmk_ looks like freenode's having problems this evening
22:47 dung what's that netsplit thing? why do some quit, others not? i'm not that experienced in irc
22:48 Punkley_Chillin there are multiple IRC servers on a irc network
22:48 dung yes
22:48 _rmk_ irc is made up of many servers linked together. when one of the inter-server links dies, the network gets 'split' in two
22:48 Punkley_Chillin its what happens when the servers stop talking to each other
22:49 _rmk_ everyone on one side of the split sees everyone on the other side disconnect
22:49 _rmk_ when the link is re-established, you see them all apparantly reconnect - or they may individually reconnect to another server themselves
22:50 dung do they miss the chat?
22:50 _rmk_ yea
22:55 dung so it's a server thing. client may only reconnect
22:56 _rmk_ servers can re-establish their links by themselves
22:57 dung so a (log)client may choose a stable server?
22:58 dung that's fantasy :) isnt it
22:59 dung *not real
23:00 dung there's no way to control it from a client?
23:01 _rmk_ a log client is just another client
23:01 _rmk_ server operators can control the inter-server connections
23:03 _rmk_ and whoever runs the log client controls that
23:16 kirid hi
23:21 dotarray hi kirid :)
23:32 kirid im new to cubox :) i just want to ask whats a good way to start with. getting the cubox installer, to get the latest snapshots of for example geexbox? i want to use my cubox as mediacenter
