| 00:19 | cbxbiker61 | just ran across a pretty kewl lightweight media player |
| 00:19 | cbxbiker61 | gst123, it uses gstreamer |
| 00:19 | cbxbiker61 | good way to test out gstreamer functionality |
| 00:24 | cbxbiker61 | awesome! it does audio and video |
| 00:27 | cbxbiker61 | i've been looking for a lightweight player to integrate with comskip for tuning purposes, this may be it |
| 00:59 | dbsx | biker: what is the dependency chain to have this using all the marvell goodies |
| 01:06 | cbxbiker61 | right now i'm using it with gstreamer 1.x, i think the configure script will also build it agains gstreamer 0.10, so it should work |
| 01:06 | cbxbiker61 | basic X dependencies with gstreamer |
| 01:09 | cbxbiker61 | i'm in a massive rebuild cycle with my cubox, but I intend to test it on cubox quite soon |
| 01:27 | rmull | So what do I need to get video playback of any type working? Right now I have kernel 3.5.7, the dove X driver, and libgfx installed |
| 01:27 | rmull | mplayer gives me audio but just messed up block output |
| 01:29 | cbxbiker61 | xbmc has been the only player to give decent results on cubox, but you could compile gst123 and see if that works |
| 01:30 | rmull | Do I need to install any other items that are cubox specific that are found on the wiki or anything? |
| 01:30 | cbxbiker61 | the two cubox specific gstreamer extensions |
| 01:31 | rmull | Okay, those are gstreamer0.10-plugins-bmmxv and gstreamer0.10-plugins-marvell? |
| 01:31 | cbxbiker61 | right |
| 01:31 | rmull | Thanks cbxbiker61. Sorry for the bother, there's just not so much distro-agnostic instructions for things like this |
| 01:32 | rmull | What's the deal with http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Building_XBMC#Native_VMeta_Decoder |
| 01:34 | cbxbiker61 | all of the current cubox xbmc ports call vmeta code directly, unlike the original port that used gstreamer |
| 01:38 | rmull | Alright, so to get a video to play back on a generic distro (hardfp) I need libbmm, the two gstreamer plugins, and gstreamer to play the video? |
| 01:38 | rmull | looks like I also need libvmeta and marvell-ipp? |
| 01:46 | cbxbiker61 | yeah |
| 01:48 | rmull | Okay, I'll start down that path, thanks |
| 04:04 | rmull | Anybody here familiar with how systemd works? Where does %I come from in this systemd file? https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/alarm/marvell-libvmeta/vmeta-clk%40667.service |
| 04:05 | rmull | I assume that %I gets replaced with 667 |
| 04:05 | rmull | just wanted to confirm |
| 04:10 | rmull | seems pretty obvious. |
| 04:36 | cbxbiker61 | systemd has some pretty good man pages, finding the right one is sometimes the issue |
| 04:37 | rmull | Well, no worries, I'm lazy and I don't see how it could be anything other than 667 |
| 04:38 | cbxbiker61 | pretty sure if you feed it something over 667 it will go to 667 anyway |
| 04:42 | cbxbiker61 | yeah, it's getting the parm from the service name |
| 04:42 | rmull | cool, thanks for confirming |
| 04:43 | rmull | Is there a way I can learn the $CHOST of my system in a dynamic way? It's in the output from gcc -v but is there a more direct way? |
| 04:44 | cbxbiker61 | kinda silly to use a @ service name to set the clock rather than just plug the value into the service file and give it a standard name |
| 05:30 | rmull | Alright, I've installed libbmm, vmeta, and ipp. Now I can look at the gst plugins. |
| 05:35 | rmull | Are the ones in the big unified driver cubox-packages.tar.gz the ones I want? |
| 05:40 | rmull | assuming yes, and assuming they are the most recent |
| 06:42 | rmull | cbxbiker61: I installed both gst plugins and gst123, but when I try to play an mpg or webm video, gst123 tells me that my GStreamer installation is missing a plugin. Haven't probed too deeply yet... |
| 06:43 | rmull | I have plugins-base also installed - installing -good and -bad now |
| 06:43 | cbxbiker61 | i'll look at it when i can, maybe you could strace gst123, and see if you can figure out what it's trying to use |
| 06:43 | rmull | Alrighty |
| 06:43 | cbxbiker61 | yeah you'll need good/bad |
| 06:52 | rmull | I think I'm gonna go to sleep while these deps build, thanks for your help |
| 06:52 | cbxbiker61 | yep, gn |
| 10:32 | Coburn | [19:29:50] [10:27:34] mplayer gives me audio but just messed up block output |
| 10:32 | Coburn | tried mplayer2? mplayer is obsolete |
| 11:05 | Coolgeek | hi |
| 11:07 | Coolgeek | I have a ssmall problem: I upgraded Archlinux on my cubox, tried to reboot after (new kernel), and then it don't show up. The front led keep blinking then stop (power off) and then restart blinking. Like it always power off and power down without booting from the sdcard |
| 11:07 | Coolgeek | has anyone have this before ? |
| 11:08 | Coolgeek | power off / power on* |
| 11:10 | Coolgeek | and I can't have a serial connection to it => doesn't work (with screen thought) |
| 11:14 | Coolgeek | ok, I have a serial connection now |
| 11:15 | Coolgeek | seems my fs on the sd card is corrupt :( |
| 11:16 | Coolgeek | oh |
| 11:16 | Coolgeek | no |
| 11:16 | Coolgeek | the kernel is not right: |
| 11:17 | Coolgeek | ======== Loading kernel ======== |

| 11:17 | Coolgeek | bye o/ |
| 11:36 | Coolgeek | fixed :D |
| 22:39 | rmull | cbxbiker61: Hey, so gst123 is sort of working, better for some formats than others. webm doesn't open a player window, mpeg works, but it doesn't like my tiling window manager and I have to resize the window before I can see the video, and 1080p x264 is about 1 frame every 5 sec, haha |
| 22:39 | rmull | Not sure if you wanted any feedback on it, but there you go |
| 23:43 | cbxbiker61 | rmull, how does x264 perform? |
| 23:43 | cbxbiker61 | sorry, didn't see that |
| 23:44 | cbxbiker61 | gst123 may need some patching to get hardware accelerated x264, i haven't looked at the code yet |
| 23:45 | cbxbiker61 | strace may allow you to see which gstreamer modules are actually used |
| 23:46 | cbxbiker61 | it'll probably be a couple of days before i'm ready to build it on my cubox, i may look at the source code in the meantime |
| 23:55 | dbsx | biker: you mentioned that we are stuck 3.5.* because of marvell drivers. How is it that Rabeeh has 3.6 kernel? No Marvell drivers? |
