00:10 dv_ the marvell EGL and GLES libraries do not exist in a non-X11 version?
00:11 dv_ I mean specifically a windowless fullscreen EGL surface
00:12 dv_ (I prefer to use EGL without X)
06:04 jnettlet dv_, I may have some kicking around, ping me later in the week and I will go archive spelunking. If not we can probably request them from Marvell.
10:36 dv_ jnettlet: okay, thanks
17:17 Hybridvs geexbox release 20121210 is out ;)
17:17 rabeeh yippe :)
17:18 rabeeh tomlohave-away: thanks
17:18 rabeeh guys - a 'git' question.
17:18 Hybridvs rabeeh , congrats on your fixes on the video decoding , it worked wonders on my cubox ;)
17:18 rabeeh i'm working on my tree now and want to merge a single commit from - https://github.com/warped-rudi/linux/commit/866a9ecd32c6e034d56585a5f6bf19d11ae03b0a
17:18 rabeeh :)
17:19 rabeeh any idea how to merge a single commit without adding it as a remote and then cherry pick?
17:19 Hybridvs sorry , i'm still a little green on git myself
17:22 rabeeh Hybridvs: i wonder why youtube plug is not working anymore
17:22 rabeeh are you having the same?
17:22 rabeeh someone else?
17:23 Hybridvs They reworked the UI this lasts days
17:23 Hybridvs But as i disconnect from the net when connecting to my tv , i still didn't explore the online features of cubox
17:24 Hybridvs are you reliying on some UI features of youtube , or does it goes thru their API ?
17:26 rabeeh i'm referring to the default youtube plugin; doing search doesn't work anymore
17:26 rabeeh i think the plugin completely doesn't work anymore.
17:28 Hybridvs will have to test , but their reworking of the user interface coincidental with the pluging stopping work seems to point in the direction of dependency on some ui feature
17:28 rabeeh have a link where this ui is being reworked?
17:29 Hybridvs no , i just saw it opening the youtube home in the browser
17:35 Hybridvs hi tomlohave , just downloading the new release
18:44 Hybridvs geexbox instaled , up & running , now updating & upgrading packages
19:03 Hybridvs strange , i've updated the xmbc with opkg and now i get no hdmi output
19:03 Hybridvs dmesg shows theres is all ok
19:03 Hybridvs Setting HDMI TX resolution to 1920x1080p @ 60
19:03 Hybridvs HDMI TX - FOUND exact resolution 16
19:03 Hybridvs set_clock_divider : setup reference clk to 148500148
19:03 Hybridvs Setting HDMI TX resolution to 1920x1080p @ 60
19:03 Hybridvs HDMI TX - FOUND exact resolution 16
19:08 Morta hybridvvs how i update the geexbox
19:08 Morta over ssh with dist -update ?
19:09 Hybridvs rsh and then opkg update & opkg upgrade
19:10 Hybridvs well , no problem , i'll wipe out the sd root partition and install the binaries again
19:15 rabeeh Hybridvs: do you use CuBox installer? or directly install to SD?
19:15 Hybridvs i do install directly from the binary to the sd
19:16 Hybridvs then insert the sd into the cubox , boot and rsh
19:16 Hybridvs funny thing , in this last binaries , the red dot keeps blinking
19:17 Morta rabeeh i have a question about playing 1080p movies, for bd remux are the cpu power to low ? and some 1080p with 23 fps also not a good flow
19:17 Morta its that possible ?
19:18 rabeeh Morta: which xbmc are you using?
19:19 Morta geexbox the second newest
19:19 Morta from cubox installer
19:20 Morta the update from 2012 10 i didnt
19:20 Morta so it will be the newst from the cubox installer
19:20 Morta * 12 10 2012
19:26 rabeeh which content is that?
19:26 rabeeh network? or local (usb or sata)
19:31 Morta nfs
19:31 Morta i have nas DS209 from synology and 1gbit ethernet
19:32 Morta the e-sata dont mount. i had it on before reboot and geexbox dont find the HDD
19:58 rabeeh Morta: can u try playing from USB stick?
19:59 rabeeh also get the audio passthrough enabled.
19:59 rabeeh if you have 7.1 for instance that needs to be transcoded to stereo then that's takes some more CPU time.
19:59 rabeeh with regards your eSata, why it doesn't mount?
19:59 rabeeh can you please send me some kernel messages?
20:03 Morta o i haven 't a so big usb stick but i can try from the SDHC card
20:03 Morta it this also ok
20:04 Morta where i can get the kernel message ? syslog ?
20:51 Hybridvs confirmed , youtuve add-on does not work
20:53 Morta also here
20:53 Morta i can't login
20:54 Morta hybridvs do you know how to get kernel message on geexbox ?
20:54 Hybridvs vimeo works
20:54 Hybridvs i just usually use dmesg
20:54 Morta ok
20:55 Hybridvs in older linux i used tail -f /var/log/... whatever i wanted to monitor
20:55 Morta you know how to mount a esata drive formatted with ext4
20:56 Hybridvs i have no esada drives to test , ... did you try the usual suspect , mount /dev/whatever /mnt/eSATA ?
20:56 Hybridvs don't know what device would be an esata drive
20:56 Morta it should be /dev/sdc1
20:58 Hybridvs then make a dir under /mnt like mkdir /mnt/eSATA and mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/eSATA
20:58 Hybridvs http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/how-to-have-external-esata-drive-auto-mount-on-plug-in-662255/ seems to have some interesting pointers on that
21:00 Hybridvs time to supper and see some video on my fresh install.. c y
21:00 Morta cya
21:01 Morta It seems that the geexbox recognize as /dev/sda1
21:01 Morta and so it was able to mount
21:01 Morta nice
21:02 rabeeh it should automount
21:02 rabeeh if the driver is properly formatted.
21:02 rabeeh Morta: please try bd from local drive
21:03 Morta ok i will try from sdhc
21:18 Morta rabeeh it worstert dan over lan
21:18 Morta than over lan (nfs)
21:18 rabeeh do you have audio passthrough set?
21:18 rabeeh subtitles?
21:18 Morta where i can do this ?
21:18 Morta no subtitles
21:19 Morta its walking dead episode in 1080p
21:19 rabeeh i don't have xbmc up and running
21:19 rabeeh but you should go to audio settings and set speakers to 5.1 or 7.1
21:20 rabeeh and then choose passthrough.
21:20 rabeeh to identify that; try setting volume up or down on CuBox (+ or - sign) and if it works it means audio passthrough is NOT working
21:26 Morta i have choose hdmi audio output
21:26 Morta so it a little better
21:27 Morta i can't change the audio volume
21:30 Morta i set audio output device kirkwood spdif hdmi
21:31 Morta digital output device for passtrough kirkwood spdif hdmi
21:31 Morta it that right
21:34 Morta It seems to play better know
21:39 Morta dummy question what is the differen between rsh and ssh ?
21:40 _rmk_ rsh might be the older 'remote shell' which is a lot less secure than ssh
21:40 _rmk_ ssh encrypts everything
21:40 _rmk_ I use "might" because rsh may be the old unix unencrypted version, or the secure kerberos'd version
21:46 Morta in a private network dosent matter if i choose rsh or ssh
21:46 Morta for my root server i chose only ssh
22:04 _rmk_ I run kerberos behind my firewall for two reasons: 1. if someone were to get through they need to break kerberos to get access to other machines (or use the same attack). 2. its a single login system.
22:05 _rmk_ ssh actually falls down on (2)... yes, it has ssh-agent, but if you read about the suspected ways that kernel.org was broken into, and that its now considered that any keys stored on a ssh agent used to connect _into_ kernel.org are compromised...
22:12 Morta rabeeh i cant choose 5.1 or 7.1 my tv dosent support
22:13 Morta but i chose 2.0 and hdmi and the 1080p movie plays well
22:18 Morta from sdhc and network
22:18 Morta needs the esata controller a lot of performance ?
