02:25 diget I'm wondering what the current status of cec support is
07:53 ralix morning
08:19 cbxbiker61 morning, i'm reshuffling some of my media files onto a new 6TB drive, i'm pretty impressed with the Seagate
08:20 cbxbiker61 i formatted it btrfs, so it will indicate if a file gets munged
08:23 cbxbiker61 it was maintaining over 200MB/sec until it was about 50% full, started about 230MB/sec
08:43 _dab_ anyone know of a way turn the wifi radio on/off with cuboxi
08:44 mk01 _dab_: with rfkill
08:44 _dab_ thanks

11:10 davorin seems hummingboard is not the only rpi alternative (o;
11:10 davorin http://www.lemaker.org
12:32 liok 12:32 * lioka looking forward for potato pi
13:04 Coolgeek potatOS ?
13:05 jnettlet davorin, bananapi? They couldn't come up with something more original?
13:05 davorin probably not (o;
13:05 davorin and moq is 100 pieces...
13:06 davori 13:06 * davorin doesn't like allwinner cpus
13:08 jnettlet not a big fan either. They have the benefit of the smaller die size, but for something that needs to be plugged in the performance of the A9 is much better.
13:09 davorin they claim to do 2160p, but not sure if it is decode only or also display
13:10 davori 13:10 * davorin always was a motorola fan (o;
13:10 davorin well..started first with z80 assembler, then 68k
13:10 Coolgeek M68000.... so old >_<
13:10 davorin well..still in use...as well as the z80
13:12 davorin wasn't aware motorola did car radios back then...
13:12 davorin that's where the name came from
13:12 dv 68k - amiga \o/
13:12 davorin my lecroy dso also has 68k inside for calculation
13:13 dv actually, someone should make a humminboard case mod that looks just like an amiga 500 or 600
13:13 davorin can have it smaller..like the zx81 (o;
13:14 davorin ported once the zx spectrum to fpga...running around 80mhz
13:14 davorin harris had some nice cpus...but they disappeared suddenly....
13:14 davorin sort of forth cpus
13:15 davorin rtx2000 i believe
13:17 jnettlet dv, I didn't recognize you without your _
13:17 dv oh hey
13:17 dv what happened
13:17 dv_ there
13:18 jnettlet I was joking with rabeeh about putting a HB inside a C64 case
13:18 diget hi
13:18 diget does anyone know about cec support for cuboxi?
13:19 dv_ jnettlet: I had an amiga when I was like 7 years old, so thats my fond memory :)
13:19 davorin diget: xbian apparently has..but haven't tested yet
13:19 jnettlet the Amiga was all high end. The 3d graphics powerhouse pre-SGI
13:21 diget davorin: I've installed latest geexbox snapshot this morning and xbmc comes without cec support. And I read that it is in an "experimental state" and has "nasty side effects"
13:22 davorin see last post: http://imx.solid-run.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=528&start=380
13:22 davorin geexbox never had cec support as i remember
13:22 davorin for cbi that is
13:23 diget davorin: for the cubox it had and worked like a charm - one of my favorite "feature"
13:23 davorin dunno how stable xbian is compared to geexbox...
13:23 sraue cec support was possible with the 3.0 kernels, with the 3.10 kernel (like geexbox/openelec uses (i dont know which one is used in xbian)) the driver is not ported yet
13:23 davorin well okay..geexbox freezes from time to time
13:24 davorin when a video is finished, then wait for while, and then want to play back the next video...
13:24 davorin just pwoer cycle helps then
13:24 davori fuud
13:24 diget sraue: so the code is all there and its "only" porting work to 3.10?
13:25 sraue yes its a patch to the cec driver in the kernel to work together with libcec
13:26 diget ahh. did't see that ;)
13:28 diget any suggestions on system. As mentioned I'm using geexbox at the moment but if xbian or something else is more stable/more frequently updated it sounds good
13:29 sraue we at openelec restarted the work on the cubox port the last days but its still early
13:30 diget sraue: nice. I read somewere that openelec is focusing on x86 but this was obviously not true then
13:33 sraue depends... we are very successfull with our RPi port... OpenELEC is not targeted to x86 only, if it makes sense we try to add support for other archs too
13:34 diget sraue: what build system is used for openelec?
13:35 sraue https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/ this one
13:36 davorin can openelec/xbmc do 2160p on a higher intel nuc with 4k output?
13:36 sraue i think it needs a patch to xorg, which officially comes with xorg-server 1.6
13:39 davorin well..need to get my 4k monitor first anyway (o;
13:40 diget sraue, davorin thanks for the infos ;) will have a look
13:41 sraue i think the time you have your monitor xorg-server will supports this :-)
13:41 davorin yes...expected delivery date beginning of june (o;
13:42 davorin well..the jetson tk1 also still haven't been sent
15:58 davori 15:58 * davorin repairing some old rotary dial phone from 19129 (o;
20:33 nikitis is rabeeh in?
20:41 nikitis would this work with usb3 risers? http://asicscrypt.com/bliss-devices-neon-c08/
20:41 nikitis wrong channel sorry
