| 00:08 | cbxbiker61 | dbsx, i don't know...until yesterday i didn't know he had bumped into the 3.6 series |
| 00:52 | cbxbiker61 | rmull, i just looked at gst123 source code, it's pretty simple code which pretty much relies on gstreamer to do all of the right things |
| 00:53 | cbxbiker61 | gstreamer should be preferring to use the hardware decoder, if it has a problem using the hardware decoder it would then fallback to software |
| 00:54 | cbxbiker61 | which is no doubt happening on your system |
| 00:57 | cbxbiker61 | ldd -r /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsth264dec.so , make sure there are no link problems with that module |
| 00:59 | rmull | Here is the output of that command http://sprunge.us/CKUM |
| 01:00 | rmull | So if I understand the manpage correctly, these are all problems? |
| 01:01 | rmull | Unless by "report missing objects or functions" they would explicitly identify the issues in the output |
| 01:06 | rmull | But based on your assessment, it sounds like I'm close to getting hardware decoded video? That sounds promising |
| 01:28 | cbxbiker61 | rmull, no that's normal, so the link is OK |
| 01:30 | rmull | oh that's good |
| 01:31 | cbxbiker61 | you could strace it playing a file, or start playing an h264 video and use lsof to see which modules are being used by gst123 from another window |
| 01:32 | rmull | When I play the h264 file, these warnings are dumped to my terminal: |
| 01:32 | rmull | ** (gst123:1070): WARNING **: Allocate frame buffer resource for new frame fail. |
| 01:32 | rmull | ** (gst123:1070): WARNING **: New frame in repository fail. |
| 01:32 | rmull | ** (gst123:1070): WARNING **: Rent frame fail |
| 01:33 | rmull | ** (gst123:1070): WARNING **: waiting downstream plug-in to release frame buffer... |
| 01:33 | rmull | And it repeats |
| 01:33 | rmull | And this appears once: At finalizing, Gstvmetadec instance(0xb521bf88) DecErrOccured is 0x2. |
| 01:34 | rmull | At the top of the playback, it does indicate that it's using vmeta |
| 01:34 | rmull | but at the bottom there was clearly an error |
| 01:34 | cbxbiker61 | interesting..., I can't think of anything else for you to try, we'll probably have to wait until i finish rebuilding my system, so i can compile it here |
| 01:36 | cbxbiker61 | although strace may still be useful, you'd be looking for "open" calls that fail, particularly on any shared object that appears to be vmeta related |
| 01:36 | rmull | Okay, I'll check that out |
| 01:36 | rmull | After dinner :) |
| 05:36 | Coburn | Heads up guys: my cubox has arrived |
| 05:36 | Coburn | so ping for rabeeh |
| 05:36 | Coburn | I'll be trying my hardest to get the lcd registers to be screwy |
| 07:58 | rabeeh | Coburn: can't wait for that. |
| 08:01 | Coburn | Wow! |
| 08:01 | Coburn | You're up early! |
| 08:01 | Cobur | 08:01 * Coburn is stunned |
| 08:03 | rabeeh | :) |
| 08:03 | rabeeh | Coburn: i'm always online; sometimes i choose to be in the shadows :) |
| 08:03 | rabee | 08:03 * rabeeh is extremely busy :( |
| 08:04 | Coburn | I guess you didn't appreciate me bringing in the pots and pans then... |
| 08:04 | rabeeh | Coburn: get me that LCD thing and everyone will have a surprise by the end of my day. |
| 08:04 | Coburn | Well, uh... sure |
| 08:04 | Coburn | the actual dump is at home on my gaming laptop's HDD |
| 08:05 | Coburn | cubox-xbmc-glitchydump-8gb.img.gz |
| 08:05 | rabeeh | oh; so were able to reproduce? |
| 08:05 | Coburn | No, I have yet to |
| 08:05 | Coburn | I just got back in the office from holidays |
| 08:05 | Coburn | didn't pack my HDMI monitor with me |
| 08:05 | Coburn | I'll bring it in tomorrow. What I really need is a capture card for my laptop |
| 08:06 | Coburn | so I can just plug the suckers in there (this laptop I'm using at the moment is native 1080p) |
| 08:07 | Coburn | also, rabeeh |
| 08:07 | Coburn | a request for the cubox installer |
| 08:07 | rabee | 08:07 * rabeeh listening |
| 08:07 | Coburn | please put a errata display screen |
| 08:07 | Coburn | i downloaded and isntalled the headless server debian |
| 08:07 | Coburn | for the life of me, I could not guess the username or password |
| 08:07 | Coburn | tried "cubox" / cubox, root / root, root / cubox |
| 08:07 | Coburn | cubox / root |
| 08:08 | Coburn | Need to display notes before the install starts |
| 08:08 | Coburn | Shouldn't be too hard, check if README exists on a server and if it does, download, and use more to stick it down the console |
| 08:09 | Coburn | i had to boot into the isntaller again ,then mount the mmc partition manually and reset/unlock root account |
| 08:09 | Coburn | password |
| 08:10 | rabeeh | ok. |
| 08:10 | rabeeh | will add notes section |
| 08:11 | Coburn | thanks. it saves a lot of head bashing |
| 08:11 | Coburn | and also helps endusers know what they are getting |
| 08:11 | Coburn | if there's no notes to display, skip it |
| 08:49 | dbsx | I have verified that you can dd if=/dev/mtd0ro and produce an identical file to uboot_spi.bin. Does anyone with more than one cubox want to try: |
| 08:49 | dbsx | dd if=uboot_spi.bin of=/dev/mtd0 |
| 08:49 | dbsx | and see if uboot still works? if this works it is an easy way to upgrade uboot from Linux |
| 08:51 | dbsx | bs should probably be 64K, |
| 08:56 | RandomPixels | hello |
| 09:20 | rabeeh | hi RandomPixels |
| 09:41 | RandomPixels | and happy new year |
| 09:49 | cbxbiker61 | hey rabeeh |
| 09:50 | cbxbiker61 | so your git kernel is now in the 3.6's, are the vmeta drivers and such all sorted there? |
| 10:08 | ralix | morning |
| 10:09 | cbxbiker61 | morning |
| 10:10 | cbxbiker61 | more like bedtime for me though |
| 10:13 | rabeeh | cbxbiker61: hey |
| 10:13 | ralix | my day starts now :) |
| 10:18 | rabeeh | hi ralix |
| 10:19 | ralix | morning rabeeh :) |
| 10:22 | ralix | I get angry just a little that my box is gone so early broken, a few weeks later and I had ordered the new Cubox;-) But the "new" "old" does its job just fine. OpenVPN mythbackend, oscam and nfs ... |
| 10:24 | cbxbiker61 | rabeeh, i'm not sure which upcoming kernel version is going to be long-term, but it would be nice if we could stabilize on that |
| 10:25 | cbxbiker61 | i thought 3.6 would live longer... |
| 12:03 | RandomPixels | ubuntu is launching soon their mobile OS, any ideass on how we can use it cubox ? |
| 12:03 | RandomPixels | or should we just take into account the desktop OS instead ? |
| 12:03 | Kiranos | why use mobile os ono cubox? |
| 12:07 | RandomPixels | i was thinking it might be more arm-oriented regarding packages (software) |
| 12:07 | RandomPixels | and by mobile i'm thinking more tablet than phone |
| 12:42 | ascent | hmm anyone running openelec on cubox? |
| 13:08 | Kiranos | ascent: not yet but sraue are working on a port |
| 13:09 | ascent | ah okay cool :) |
| 17:34 | michaelcubox | hello all |
| 17:34 | michaelcubox | @rabeeh: i would ike to edit my wiki article as i found a big improvement for my owncloud setup |
| 18:36 | ascent | installing newest devel of geexbox.. 14 jan.. lets see |
| 18:41 | ascent | bootin... |
| 18:52 | Thirsty_Away | exit |
| 18:55 | niteye | i plug in the cubox V2 to my debian computer, i can see in dmesg manufacturer, UART, blah, but not a ttyUSB device, and there is also none in /dev, i loaded the usbserial module, what else can i do? |
| 19:09 | ascent | okay 14th of jan devel seems to run quite good on cubox actually |
| 19:37 | rabeeh | niteye: when hooking the ftdi chip into a Linux machine (recent kernels) then you should be seeing /dev/ttyUSB0 as the console for CuBox |
| 19:50 | niteye | hmm its vanilla debian squeeze and it doesnt seem to work, but no biggy, it works in windows |
| 19:54 | rmull | I have devel seems to run quite good on cubox actually |
| 19:54 | rmull | oops |
| 19:55 | rmull | mis-paste |
| 19:55 | rmull | niteye: Do you have the FTDI support via kernel built-in or module? |
| 19:55 | rmull | I have CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_FTDI_SIO=y |
| 19:56 | rmull | Not sure what the module name is |
| 20:02 | dmitrijus | it is ftdi_sio |
| 20:36 | niteye | rmull: no idea |
| 20:38 | niteye | i modeprobed ftdi_sio and i still dont get any ttyUSB |
| 20:39 | niteye | i see [35579.514728] USB Serial support registered for FTDI USB Serial Device |
| 20:41 | dmitrijus | you can try to lsusb -t it |
| 21:10 | christianjwaite0 | Hello all |
| 21:10 | christianjwaite0 | I've had success with archlinux on cubox before, but it all went copput |
| 21:10 | christianjwaite0 | looking at installing ubuntu core instead |
| 21:11 | christianjwaite0 | is the best way (on osx) to just untag to a micros card ala: |
| 21:11 | christianjwaite0 | http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=896 |
| 21:11 | christianjwaite0 | *untar |
| 21:25 | christianjwaite0 | doing it via cubox install 0.2 |
| 21:25 | christianjwaite0 | nice one for adding hdmi support |
| 21:25 | christianjwaite0 | it's made the whole thing a hell of a lot easier |
| 21:25 | christianjwaite0 | thankx |
| 23:35 | rabee | 23:35 * rabeeh has graphics scaling up and running. |
| 23:36 | dotarray | go to bed, rabeeh :) |
| 23:36 | rabeeh | :) |
| 23:37 | rabeeh | x2 scaling i get 30fps on 1080p on xbmc |
| 23:37 | rabee | 23:37 * rabeeh sends patches through |
| 23:43 | rabeeh | oh- with x2.5 scaling i can reach ~37fps :) |
