09:25 rabeeh warped-rudi: welcome on #cubox :)
09:25 rabeeh i just saw your post - http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=160&start=10#p5807
09:26 warped-rudi Yeah, good morning, Rabeeh.
09:28 rabeeh what's the openmax thing?
09:28 rabeeh i think that for xbmc, the native xbmc decoder is much better than openmax
09:28 rabeeh don't you agree?
09:29 warped-rudi For OpenMAX, take a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMAX
09:29 rabeeh i know what openmax is
09:30 rabeeh i think you can control video and audio decoding better without openmax
09:30 warped-rudi I don't really know how much overhead the OpenMAX layer will introduce and ho much level of control we loose.
09:30 rabeeh i mean the way it's implemented today in xbmc is that decoding and presenting is completely controlled by openmax
09:31 rabeeh i mean the way it's implemented today in xbmc is that decoding and presenting is completely controlled by xbmc
09:32 warped-rudi Yes. However, Gimli has implmented support for OpenMAX for video playback (OMXPlayer) als well as for JPEG loading.
09:33 warped-rudi I think it's actually used for the Raspberry Pi,
09:33 warped-rudi ant I thought it would reduce the amount of work we have to do.
09:34 rabeeh ok. it's a good point
09:35 rabeeh gimli typically joins end of day, everyday
09:35 rabeeh lets consult with him.
09:35 rabeeh the only thing i'm worried about is that getting openmax will take endless time where what we are looking is only jpeg decoding
09:36 rabeeh (which marvell-ipp has an example with vmeta)
09:37 warped-rudi I think I've spotted the place where to hook JPEG loading into XBMC. It's probably not too hard to do.
10:12 jnettlet iwmmxt is not incompatible with hardfp
10:12 jnettlet sorry just looking at the post
10:12 jnettlet rabeeh, how have you been?
10:21 warped-rudi Last time I tried GCC complained that it cannot compile for iwmmxt when the float abi is set to "hard".
10:21 Coolgeek maybe because the kernel was soft ?
10:22 Coolgeek or the iwmmxt was soft ?
10:23 warped-rudi I'm current not on a Linux machine, but ISTR that the mesage stated that this combination is not (yet) implemented in GCC.
10:24 _rmk_ iwmmxt has never been emulated
10:31 jnettlet Oh, that problem...yeah I have fixed libraries for that.
10:31 jnettlet We need to get a synced repository that we all can share
10:32 jnettlet _rmk_, iwmmxt hasn't been functional this past summer. What a sad state of affairs the gcc support was
10:37 _rmk 10:37 * _rmk_ can't help the toolchain :P
11:23 jnettlet that reminds me I need to push the gcc guys to accept Marvell's tuning optimizations patch
11:30 warped-rudi have you submitted the immxt/vfp patch ase well ?
21:04 Morta Hi Geeks
21:06 Morta So from e-Sata its play very well BD Remux in FullHD Resulotin
21:06 Morta so cool
21:08 Morta It seems that my uSDHC is too slow to play Remux directly from the card
21:09 Morta why isn't works over nfs i don't know
21:14 Morta the transfer rate over ftp was good around 25 MB/s from my nas to e-SATA HDD. so it is can't be the problem
21:16 Morta *-is
