| 08:38 | kicker22004 | Hi malte |
| 09:04 | vpeter | What could be the reason to get "EGL error in CreateSurface: 3003" with lvds display 1366x768 but not with another lvds display 800x480? |
| 09:32 | jnettlet | vpeter, most likely not enough cma space free to allocate a double sized framebuffer needed for pageflipping |
| 09:56 | vpeter | CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES ? |
| 09:58 | jnettlet | you can add cma=256M on the kernel commandline |
| 09:58 | jnettlet | or whatever size you want. |
| 09:59 | vpeter | How can I calculate that? Because I already have 288 MB. |
| 10:08 | jnettlet | that should be plenty |
| 10:11 | jnettlet | you best bet is to turn on CONFIG_CMA_DEBUG and you will see all the allocations in the kernel logs |
| 10:16 | vpeter | Thanks. |
| 14:42 | heap_ | fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: MDIO read timeout |
| 14:42 | heap_ | bum |
| 14:42 | jnettlet | yeah, that has been happening in the upstream kernel for a while now |
| 14:43 | jnettlet | never seen it on my kernel. |
| 14:44 | heap_ | ;/ |
| 16:56 | wrexem | good morning everyone! |
| 16:56 | wrexem | random question... |
| 16:57 | vpeter | The answer is maybe :) |
| 16:57 | wrexem | is there a way to use the GPU to do ffmpeg encode/decode faster? |
| 17:00 | wrexem | Sure you get random nubs in here all the time... lol |
| 17:00 | wrexem | I've had my i2ex running since the day it came out pretty much, kinda lost touch with the dev community |
| 17:01 | wrexem | I'm running one of igor's old builds atm - in fact this irc is piped through a znc bouncer running on it |
| 17:16 | jnettlet | wrexem, no there isn't. It is more efficient to use the hardware VPU for video decoding. |
| 17:23 | wrexem | Cool; at present I'm just running an ffmpeg container conversion on some media formats... not too bad, ~50 fps conversion rate - for comparison rPi2 runs around 30 fps. |
| 17:24 | wrexem | I think there's a way to do this much faster with gstreamer but I can't seem to wrap my head around the pipelining thing. I know dv_ has some involvement in that project as well so this seems like an interesting place to start. |
| 17:25 | jnettlet | you will get some acceleration with NEON. It depends what you are trying to convert on whether the VPU will help. |
| 17:26 | jnettlet | also make sure you have ffmpeg using multi-threads if you have multiple cores |
| 17:26 | wrexem | Yeah I think I'm doing NEON already, and it's smoking all the cores for sure. |
| 17:27 | wrexem | I had done some tests before and I was able to get a gstreamer pipeline to do the video conversion in the high hundreds of fps |
| 17:27 | wrexem | but it wasn't putting the audio back in at the end, some muxing step missing or w/e |
| 17:28 | wrexem | oh - didn't mention, I'm in the dual core variety humminboard |
| 17:28 | jnettlet | okay, then it will use one core for encoding and one for decoding |
| 17:29 | wrexem | basically, I'm doing container conversion from mkv to mp4 with ffmpeg |
| 17:29 | wrexem | and changing audio to AAC, but that seems pretty trivial in the end |
| 17:36 | wrexem | command looks like this: ffmpeg -y -i in.mkv -vcodec copy -c:a aac -strict experimental out.mp4 |
| 17:36 | wrexem | well, I am using avconv |
| 17:36 | wrexem | but yeah |
| 17:45 | jnettlet | yeah, so the vpu won't help you because you aren't actually re-encoding the video. |
| 17:46 | jnettlet | 50fps seems a bit low |
| 17:48 | wrexem | I think this particular video is x265 |
| 17:48 | wrexem | might as well stress it out, lol |
| 17:50 | wrexem | when I convert to h264 I get ~5fps |
| 17:54 | wrexem | avconv -y -i in.mkv -vcodec libx264 -c:a aac -strict experimental -movflags +faststart out.mp4 |
| 19:05 | wrexem | IgorPec, is it possible to get me on the most current build of your Cubox debian w/o reflashing? |
| 19:05 | wrexem | e.g. apt-get upgrade? |
| 19:05 | IgorPec | yes, it's possiblež |
| 19:06 | IgorPec | you are using my build or some others? |
| 19:10 | wrexem | it's your build |
| 19:10 | wrexem | idk how to tell what version I am on, etc |
| 19:10 | IgorPec | uname -a |
| 19:10 | wrexem | I just ran upgrade though, let's see what it does lol |
| 19:10 | wrexem | Linux cubox-i 3.14.14-cubox-i #2 SMP Wed Mar 11 13:01:02 CET 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux |
| 19:11 | Catwich | IgorPec: PM, please ack |
| 19:11 | wrexem | The following packages have been kept back: gpu-viv-bin-x11 gstreamer0.10-imx libcairo2 libjson0 libp11-kit0 |
| 19:11 | wrexem | Guessing that message means everything is fine |
| 19:12 | Catwich | wrexem that looks like z6you messed with repos, and perhaps upgraded from wheezy |
| 19:12 | wrexem | I probably did, I might just start fresh; it's been running like I said early for most of a year |
| 19:14 | wrexem | what should my repos look like? (sources.list) |
| 19:15 | wrexem | Just change wheezy to jessie? |
| 19:15 | IgorPec | you are on wheezy? |
| 19:15 | IgorPec | upgrade is so so |
| 19:15 | IgorPec | it might go well but ... |
| 19:16 | IgorPec | Check the basic docs for upgrade tips: http://www.armbian.com/documentation/ |
| 19:17 | wrexem | It only has my znc bouncer on it, I can just image to the newest jessie np |
| 19:17 | wrexem | I migrated most other things over to my rPi (is that a dirty word here, pi? lol) and now am looking for ways to repurpose this little guy |
| 19:17 | IgorPec | ok, those advanced graphics drivers are currently not included |
| 19:18 | wrexem | I think I might use it as a storage target |
| 19:18 | wrexem | That's ok; it's headless |
| 19:18 | IgorPec | than no problem. |
| 19:18 | wrexem | I was just trying to get gstreamer working for media conversions |
| 19:18 | wrexem | experimenting |
| 19:18 | IgorPec | you could even use kernel 4 |
| 19:19 | IgorPec | at least for testing |
| 19:23 | wrexem | I feel kinda cool having an ssd in my HB |
| 19:23 | wrexem | just saying |
| 19:24 | IgorPec | yes, I have it. Do you boot from it too? |
| 19:26 | wrexem | Definitely |
| 19:26 | wrexem | There's a little smidge on the sd card that says "go to the ssd" |
| 19:26 | IgorPec | hehe |
| 19:26 | wrexem | in my uEnv |
| 19:27 | IgorPec | btw. now I am using boot.scr to set boot parameters |
| 19:29 | wrexem | hmmmm |
| 19:30 | IgorPec | it's not a big deal ... it's due to OS "standardisation" among other boards ;) |
| 19:36 | wrexem | I just changed, in sources.list, all wheezy references to jessie |
| 19:36 | wrexem | now I am dist-upgrade ing |
| 19:37 | IgorPec | latest kernel is on repository |
| 19:37 | IgorPec | http://www.armbian.com/kernel/ |
| 19:37 | IgorPec | there you have key and naming |
| 19:43 | wrexem | Anyone who doesn't know, IgorPec is the man. |
| 19:43 | wrexem | I bought you a beer once via paypal I think. |
| 19:44 | IgorPec | :) oh, tnmx |
| 19:44 | IgorPec | and i plan update in 2 weeks, upstream + some fixes |
| 19:45 | wrexem | Sweet, I might wait for that then to go fresh |
| 19:45 | wrexem | Assuming this dist-upgrade doesn't murder the whole thing right now |
| 19:45 | wrexem | lol |
| 19:45 | IgorPec | not needed, updating is running smoothly now |
| 19:45 | wrexem | preparing, unpacking |
| 19:46 | IgorPec | update from old images, like yours, might be problematic ... so double check before restarting |
| 19:46 | wrexem | how do I do that? |
| 19:46 | IgorPec | just check boot script |
| 19:46 | wrexem | make sure boot.scr is pointing to the right place? |
| 19:46 | IgorPec | yep |
| 19:47 | IgorPec | then wheezy to jessie upgrade ... usually works, but that's Debian problem ;) |
| 19:47 | wrexem | Have any of you ever heard of a project called MailPiler? |
| 19:48 | wrexem | A hungarian guy created it |
| 19:48 | IgorPec | nope |
| 19:48 | IgorPec | what's about |
| 19:48 | wrexem | Basically, archiving email |
| 19:48 | wrexem | So you can search it in a separate system, keep the main one clean |
| 19:49 | wrexem | I use it to redirect exchange mail, splits two copies - one for the users mailbox, one for my archive |
| 19:49 | vpeter | jnettlet: what should I check with cma debug? |
| 19:49 | wrexem | I saw sphinx in this upgrade spam, reminded me of that other project |
| 19:51 | IgorPec | interesting |
| 19:51 | wrexem | He's a very sharp guy, the maintainer of that project, Janos |
| 19:53 | wrexem | IgorPec, I don't seem to have a /boot/boot.scr |
| 19:53 | IgorPec | https://raw.githubusercontent.com/igorpecovnik/lib/master/config/boot-cubox.cmd |
| 19:54 | IgorPec | you only need to compile it |
| 19:54 | IgorPec | it might work without the script but I am not 100% sure |
| 20:03 | wrexem | splat |
| 20:03 | wrexem | lol |
| 20:04 | wrexem | it didn't survive the reboot |
| 20:04 | wrexem | and I'm a few miles from home so |
| 20:04 | wrexem | Guess it'll wait til later lol |
| 20:09 | IgorPec | ok ;) |
