Hello everybody, I'm trying to compile Xine with vidix support. Therefore, I need the original w100api.h driver. I already have w100_vid.c and w100fake_api.h, but there must be more files on this earth... Documentation or tips are welcome too!
I'm also searching for the included vidix.h file, the original. Please mail me or post the files!
I already have compiled Xine without vidix support, but it doesn't run smooth fullscreen. Windowed it plays very well! See this screenshot:
-
vidix.h is available from the mplayer source distribution in main/vidix/vidix.h.

I know, it's also included in the Xine library. I have compiled xine a couple of times with w100_vid.so, but it keeps complaining about references to AtiCore_******. Is there anyone who tried this before?
-
The aticore functions are located in libqte.so. Make sure you are linking against libqte. When building mplayer with the w100 driver I modify the vidix makefile to have the following:
W100_VID=w100_vid.so
W100_SRCS=w100_vid.c
W100_OBJS=w100_vid.o
W100_LIBS=-L$(QPEDIR)/lib -lqte -ljpeg
W100_CFLAGS=$(OPTFLAGS) -fPIC -I. -I..
It's the W100_LIBS line that I change to include -lqte.

Hi guys
I also gave mplayer-vidix a shot and ended up with vidix support but no scaling. The image was also rotated and I could not really find any way to rotate it back using the API (hw accel). The API for w100 isn't as documented as one would like (execpt for the header file that some people hacked).
I am quite curious to which w100_vid.c file you are using? I downloaded one of the japanese ones and couldn't get it working so I started to code my own. (I think there was a link to it in one of the previous messages in another thread by doublec)
Maybe we could cooperate on this one to get both mplayer and xine woirking? I guess the vidix driver should be the same for both of them.

I'm pretty sure I'm using the one from the japanese site but I've hacked around on it a little. I got things works reasonably well in the framebuffer except it wouldn't do qvga if I recall correctly. In X thought I got the problems of the rotation. I'm happy to collobarate on getting a working solution. The original video player on the Sharp ROM is amazing in terms of quality and it would be nice to get somewhere there.
What does kino2 do? Does that use the vidix driver or any ATI acceleration?
-
It was awhile since I ran standard ROMs but I think kino2 uses the QVGA mode. When speaking of it, I couldn't either switch to QVGA and plot there. Could there be some problems in the libs we are using or are we not using it correctly?

I am now compiling Xine with vidix support. Hopefully the linking against libqte is correctly...
-
This is _just_ a question.
Found this on xine website :
libdvdcss 1.2.8 provided here is patched with network support. this makes possible to watch dvds from a remote dvdrom drive.
IF you make xine work properly and IF you COULD get this network support ok, would it mean that i could watch a dvd on a Z ? Is it powerfull engouh ?
-
I hope so... if I only get that d*mn vidix-support working

Thanks for your suggestion, I've already read that topic. More important, w100_vid.c needs to be compiled against libqpe (-lqpe), but I don't have that file. Do I really have to compile qt-embedded to get it? Or does anyone have that library?
-
Compiling QT embedded won't get you those library functions. They are proprietary extensions used by Sharp I believe. You'll find the required library to link against in the pdaxrom SDK.
-
not libqpe.so... Anyway, I gave up compiling xine. I just installed VLC (for Linux Familiar), and I think it has more future. If there is only anyone who can maintain the project...
-
libqte is what you want:
cd /opt/arm/3.3.2/armv5tel-cacko-linux/lib
grep -b AtiCore *
Binary file libqte.so matches
Binary file libqte.so.2 matches
Binary file libqte.so.2.3 matches
Binary file libqte.so.2.3.2 matches
It's definitely there.
-
alan, thanks for the forum link. I hadn't seen that before. That lead me to downloading the PocketMVP source here: http://home.adelphia.net/~mdukette/kits/PocketMVP_source.zip (http://home.adelphia.net/~mdukette/kits/PocketMVP_source.zip)
In the ATI.cpp file from that source is some code that uses the ATI w100 functions. Some analysis of this might help debugging the problems with the vidix driver.
Chris.

doublec : No pb
bastichelaar : sorry to give you this, but it looks like VLC won't work on pdaxrom

Try to download the package for the yopy... VLC works pretty good! I tried to download the newer version for ipaq, but it kept complaining about glibc 2.3... Which version does rc2 have?
-
We need somebody with the time and the knowledge to optimise the driver. I would like to know which command Kino2 invokes to run mplayer... Where are the developers? I will donate €50 to the one who makes mplayer run perfectly...
HELP US!
-
At a guess a combo of these options (obtained directly from kino2 binary)
/usr/local/bin/mplayer
-identify
-slave
-really-quiet
-framedrop
Or =
fbdev:vidix
fbdev
-double
-vop
rotate=1
-geometry
50%:50%
flip=yes,mirror=yes
rotate=1,scale=-2:
scale=
%d%%:%d%%
x =
y =
w =
h =
-cache
-bandwidth
-sws
seek -5
seek +5
seek +1
seek -1
seek +10
seek -10

I've installed the Cacko rom, just to find out what command mplayer invokes. It seems that Kino2 adds an extra option -dr, to enable direct rendering. Maybe this is possible with X11 ROM?
-
i'll test whatever you want me to.
just give me instructions.
I've already tried many files from 'Pocket movies' without any trouble but first it was mpg1, second it was outside of X...
I'm not sure of what you want to do, but i guess it might be something useful.
-
Try:
mplayer -slave -vo fbdev:vidix -framedrop -really-quiet -fbmode qvga -dr -vm -double -geometry 50%:50% -vop rotate=1
And tell us...
-
eergh...
tried this inside x :
- complained about not finding /home/root/.mplayer/codecs.conf
- complained about not finding /usr/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf
- complained about not finding font.desc
- could not access 'termcap' data base
Tried this outside X :
well, let's say that a reboot was needed in order to find back a 'normal' screen
this seems to be the best i've tried :
Here are the steps needed to play videos in 320x240 fullscreen:
1) First, install mplayer from the pdaxrom feed. No other additional software is needed.
2) Next, create the file /etc/fb.modes with the following contents:
mode "qvga"
geometry 320 240 320 240 16
timings 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
endmode
Now, to play your file, you must first exit from X if you're running it (issue 'killall X' in terminal). You can only play fullscreen video from the console at the moment.
3) When you're in console, run mplayer with the following command:
mplayer -vo fbdev -fbmode qvga -vm -ac mad file.avi
assuming 'file.avi' is the file you want to play.
-
I know that works... But I would like to run mplayer from INSIDE X, i.e. make a gui, have a decent player!
Just flashed pdaXrom, so I will continue trying...
-
I have hacked at the code for w100_vid.so and have videos playing inside X using mplayer. You need to use the 'xvidix' driver:
mplayer -vo xvidix -vop rotate=1 file.avi
Unfortunately it still has a number of problems:
1) I haven't been able to get the rotation of the video overlay window to align with the mplayer GUI window. Because the Z in landscape mode is '480x640' and mplayer expects 640x480 things are a bit out of kilter. To fix it I need to have w100_vid.so do the rotation itself but I haven't worked out the AtiCore magic to do this. Anyone know?
2) The X session is 640x480. I want to switch the display to 320x240 (like the qvga fbmode) to not have to scale 320x240 videos. Again, I don't know the AtiCore magic to do this.
3) I can't seem to get stretch blitting to work to scale things up to 640x480. I'm still working on this if I can't get (2) to work.
If anyone is interested I can upload the binary and source to my modified version of the w100_vid driver.
Chris.
-
Please upload the binary... I just installed pdaXrom (after a try to switch back to Cacko... without success ), so I would like to give it a try. Upload the binary and the source...
-
Binary is at http://www.double.co.nz/zaurus/w100_vid.so.gz (http://www.double.co.nz/zaurus/w100_vid.so.gz). You'll need to unpack it with:
gunzip w100_vid.so.gz
cp w100_vid.so /usr/lib/mplayer/vidix
Use like:
mplayer -vo xvidix -vop rotate=1 file.avi
Only tested and probably only works with videos that are already 320x240 in size. Try other file sizes though. If they don't work you can scale with:
mplayer -vo xvidix -vop scale=320:240,rotate=1 file.avi
Note this will use software scaling. I haven't worked out how to hardware scale.
Notice how the overlay window is not aligned with the mplayer window.
Source will follow when I get back home (I don't have it on my Z).
Chris.

I was playing with this last night. It sort of worked, the video started to play, but it was so choppy it wasn't watchable. The weird thing is, now I can't watch videos even outside of X like I always could. I removed the driver, did a rm -rf ~/.mplayer, reinstalled mplayer, still no luck. The video starts to play, but it never gets passed the first frame.
-
New native SDK will with RC3, cross SDK little later. That includes hacked aticore API header.
In RC3 i moved aticore to shared library for easy to use acceleration from another progrems.
-
Wow, that would be cool! If that makes mplayer work, I will donate my 50 euro

just a question to mplayers experts :
i found this :

Does this work with any mplayer version available for pdaxrom ? I've no server to test it...

Well, I reinstalled mplayer and all its dependencies, now videos play fine when I use the -nosound option, but without it I still can't get passed the first frame...
Any ideas?

Any ideas?
Mplayer uses a floating-point mp3 decoder by default, and it is crawling slow on Z because there is no hardware floating point unit on it. To use a fixed-point decoder, which is quite fast, pass a '-ac mad' option to the mplayer.
