| 17:08 | Peio | hey, I was wondering if xbmc is still actively supported on the cubox |
| 17:08 | Peio | I found a git but it seems not updated anymore |
| 17:11 | Coolgeek | try geexbox or openelec |
| 17:11 | Coolgeek | there is image for cubox |
| 17:13 | Peio | ok |
| 17:16 | Peio | anyone with an i1 that uses OE or xbmc ? |
| 17:17 | rabeeh | Peio: i haven't tried OE on CBi1; but previosuly tried GeexBox on it |
| 17:18 | sraue | bad answer... :-) |
| 17:18 | Peio | does it work well rabeeh ? with 1080p videos ? |
| 17:18 | Peio | i'm looking for something a little more powerful than the rpi, mine has trouble with high bitrate videos |
| 17:20 | sraue | i would buy the CuBox-i2eX see http://cubox-i.com/products/ (if its already avaible) |
| 17:22 | Peio | got any experience with a similar box sraue? |
| 17:22 | sraue | only with the i4, but i think the difference is not very big between the i4 and i2ex |
| 17:23 | Peio | does the i4 handle high bitrate x264 videos without issues? |
| 17:34 | rabeeh | sraue: i'm saying that not because of preference :) |
| 17:34 | rabeeh | sraue: even the cbi1 should be powerful |
| 17:36 | Peio | even with videos up to 20mbs ? |
| 17:37 | rabeeh | Peio: davorin on the irc (he is not here) was able to stream blu ray |
| 17:37 | rabeeh | this is typically 35Mbps VES streams |
| 17:39 | Peio | on an i1 ? |
| 17:40 | Peio | do you know if he used geexbox/OE ? |
| 17:40 | rabeeh | Peio: both are available; i think xbian also supports i1 now |
| 17:40 | rabeeh | it's basically the u-boot SPL code that decides which machine it's running on |
| 17:42 | Peio | you lost me there :p |
| 17:42 | Peio | that's impressive if even an i1 can play that kind of videos |
| 17:42 | rabeeh | ok; the boot loader is u-boot |
| 17:42 | rabeeh | u-boot has a piece of code called SPL; that code autodetects the board it's running on and accordingly configures things; including the kernel DT file, memory configuration and others |
| 17:43 | rabeeh | the idea is having a single image for all CuBox-i versions (and also HummingBoard) |
| 17:43 | Peio | ok |
| 17:43 | Peio | do you know if davorin hangs out here sometimes ? |
| 17:44 | Peio | I'm pretty good at idling :p so I might wait around to ask him a few questions |
| 17:46 | rabeeh | looking at the log; he hasn't been around for few days |
| 17:51 | Peio | ok |
| 17:51 | Peio | well thanks for the infos :) |
| 17:53 | rabeeh | Peio: the only issue we had in i1; and was fixed on LK 3.0.35 and needs to be refixed in LK 3.10.x is that upscaling movies from lower resolutions to 1080p (the native TV) makes some internal buffer underruns |
| 17:54 | rabeeh | namely IPU to DDR buffer underruns; that was fixed by changing the DDR QoS of the IPU on 3.0.35 (and now needs to be fixed again on LK 3.10.x) |
| 17:54 | rabeeh | that fix is important for i1 (32bit DDR) |
| 17:54 | Peio | ok |
| 18:00 | Coolgeek | Peio: qhat video are you planning to use ? |
| 18:08 | Peio | well movies, tv shows, etc |
