IRC log of #cubox of Thu 20 Dec 2012. All times are in CET < Back to index

01:11 Coburn Morning
01:11 Coburn I wanted to do CuBox tweaking yesterday but it was too hot and I was like "meh, raspberry pi needs my attention"
01:12 Coburn so yeah. gotta see if I can get XBMC to recongize my remote's "menu" button
01:12 Coburn when a user presses that button, it goes back to the main menu
02:29 Coburn Problems with XBMC when you stop and start it manually
02:29 Coburn gckOS_WaitUserSignal : 5274 [t=1] SignalID: 64, ProcessID: 915, Type: 14, index: 1
02:29 Coburn looping lines, then that xbmc.bin process becomes a zombie and SIGKILL will not kill it
02:32 Coburn even hangs a reboot process
02:55 dbsx re the remote : I dont understand this. I have a tv/remote that it all works perfectly via libcec. I have one other tv/remote that the return button does not work. Does this mean that we dont use libcec at all in this case? or do we have the cubox just handle the one dysfunctional key?
02:58 Coburn dbsx: I think you can map other buttons to the same key function twice
02:58 Coburn wait
02:58 Coburn you're using a TV remote that controls XBMC on the CuBox?
02:58 Coburn Not via IR?
04:42 Coburn Beautiful
04:43 Coburn Menu key on my remote is now "back"
04:43 Coburn Saves me having to attach a mouse.
04:43 cbxbiker61 i finally have a working Linux commercial skipper
04:44 cbxbiker61 i've been porting the "windows" version for the last week or so
04:44 cbxbiker61 i cleaned it up a lot and converted to c++
04:45 Coburn lol
04:45 Coburn in before a lawsuit... :P
08:33 rabeeh cbxbiker61: how does that work? how do you identify a commercial?
08:34 cbxbiker61 there are about 4 or 5 different ways of identifying the beginning and end of commercials
08:35 cbxbiker61 one example would be by a logo, most of the major networks in the US put there logo on the screen for network content
08:35 cbxbiker61 whereas the commercials don't have the logos
08:36 rabeeh oh; so you need to decode too
08:36 cbxbiker61 also using black frames to identify the beginning and end of commercials
08:36 cbxbiker61 and the audio volume
08:36 cbxbiker61 yes, every frame has to be analyzed
08:36 rabeeh lots of processing
08:36 rabeeh any idea if CuBox can take it?
08:37 rabeeh i mean decoding by hardware and analysis via iwmmxt?
08:37 rabeeh for black screens you can use XOR engine maybe to do some XOR operations with fixed frame?
08:37 cbxbiker61 it takes about 7 minutes or so to process an hours worth of content
08:37 cbxbiker61 on an FX-8350
08:37 rabeeh which machine?
08:37 rabeeh oh :)
08:38 rabeeh which decoder are you using?
08:38 cbxbiker61 it only uses one core for mpeg content
08:38 cbxbiker61 ffmpeg does the decode
08:38 rabeeh oh; so there is a chance
08:38 jnettlet cbxbiker61, with the new law that passed, the audio volume detection should hopefully no longer work.
08:38 rabeeh how much CPU takes for the analysis?
08:38 cbxbiker61 100% on one core
08:39 cbxbiker61 jnettlet, yeah
08:39 rabeeh oh; that's going to be tough for any embedded machine
08:40 cbxbiker61 well if the process is nice'd the machine could still be useful while it's processing the video
08:40 cbxbiker61 and if it was a dedicated media box, probably wouldn't matter too much how long it takes
08:41 cbxbiker61 once i get the code cleaned up enough to be proud of, i'll release it
08:41 cbxbiker61 it was very hard to read before i started my cleanup
08:43 rabeeh cbxbiker61: must you inspect every frame?
08:43 rabeeh i mean the logo thing can be detected once every 10 frames; worst case you will be infected by a <0.3sec Ad :)
08:44 cbxbiker61 my FX-3850 has 32G of memory, since it starts the comskipper immediately following the capture and so disk speed is not part of the equation
08:44 cbxbiker61 since it's all still in cache
08:45 cbxbiker61 once i finish the cleanup, i'll analyze performance and see where i can improve it
08:45 cbxbiker61 it's doing about 200fps currently
08:58 Coburn program it in brainf**k and that will be ace
08:59 Coburn that is a language, btw
10:25 Coolgeek Ook > brainf*ck
14:07 cbxbiker61 my comskipper running on cubox is doing 50fps on 480p content
14:08 cbxbiker61 my FX-8350 does 480p at about 700fps, does 1080 at 200fps
14:08 cbxbiker61 in any case it seems to be working properly on arm
14:09 rabeeh :)
14:09 rabeeh looks we have a new use case :)
18:38 shesselba _rmk_: thanks ;)
19:08 rabeeh yeah. _rmk_ thanks :)
19:08 rabeeh i don't know why; but thanks.
19:11 Punkley_Chillin thanks for being _rmk_ maybe :)
19:13 Coolgeek _rmk_: thanks to you !
19:13 Coolgeek rabeeh, Punkley_Chillin thanks to you too !!
19:14 _rmk 19:14 * _rmk_ chuckles
19:14 Punkley_Chillin think i might try to go back to bed
19:14 Punkley_Chillin it is 4:44am here
19:14 Coolgeek 19:14:31 Punkley_Chillin | it is 4:44am here <== good night
19:16 _rmk_ As we're getting close to Christmas, I'll thank you in a completely different language which I can almost guarantee that no one here will understand: Fì'uri, irayo si oe ngaru nìtxan.
19:18 Coolgeek _rmk_: I don't like the way you talk to me
19:19 _rmk_ why? :)
19:20 Coolgeek I don't understand the Na'vi language :(
19:20 _rmk_ so, sometimes google is useful :)
19:21 Coolgeek yup, that's why I now it's this language :)
19:22 _rmk_ fì'uri (As for this thing), oe (I) nìtxan (much) irayo si (do thanks) ngaru (to you)
19:23 _rmk_ well, nìtxan = much or very
19:23 Coolgeek is this language spoken anywhere ?
19:24 _rmk_ yes, there's some people who are fluent in it despite the limited number of "root words" in it
19:27 Coolgeek like you ?
19:28 _rmk_ oh no, nowhere near :) I can't get my tongue around the trilled r and flapped r (which is similar to the way an American would say the 't' in water)
19:33 _rmk_ unlike other constructed languages, Dr Paul Frommer (the creator of it) is still very much involved with its development, which makes it rather unique
19:46 _rmk_ Coolgeek: btw, glad you didn't drop the ' in Na'vi, that'd be like dropping a random letter from an English word.
19:56 Coolgeek don't know english enough to say so :)
20:06 _rmk_ hrh
20:13 _rmk_ heh, New Zealanders are are celebrating still being here... they're a few hours early, it's not yet 11:11 UTC on the 21st.
20:16 _rmk_ two mayans: "The tequila is ready, you want some?" "I'm working on this calendar, but I guess if I don't finish it, it won't be the end of the world."
