Title: Mplayer Or Ffmpeg
Post by: bmsleight on December 08, 2004, 06:21:02 pm

Hi All,

I am a new Zaurus owner, but I quite like my new C3000.

I have tried mplayer from various sources :-
  Kino 2
   Various ones available from : http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/ (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/)

But with no joy. I can not get mplayer to work.

Looks like I will have to download the kernels and cross-compile
 http://www.cartel-info.fr/pbiondi/zaurus/crosscompile.html (http://www.cartel-info.fr/pbiondi/zaurus/crosscompile.html)

I also tired vlc, but have problems installing the librt_2.1.3_arm.ipk  package.

Has anyone got mplayer to work and play movies on the C3000. It loads but does not like any files even mpeg1.

I have used ffmpeg to encode to mpeg1, which I can play using the Movie player, eg: -
 ffmpeg -i ../top.gear.mpg -s 320x240 -ab 32 -vcodec mpeg1video -acodec mp2 top.gear.1.mpg -t 1200


I have tried lot of ffmpeg options:
 - vcodec mpeg4
 - vcodec msmpeg4
 - vcodec msmpeg4v1
 - vcodec msmpeg4v2
 ffmpeg -i ../imput.mpg -s 240x176   -f asf  test6.asf

But no joy with mpeg4 with ffmpeg to produce something playable with movie player.
These are some file that will play on the zaurus:-
http://www.spacetown.ne.jp/movie/asf_files...ougaitiran.html (http://www.spacetown.ne.jp/movie/asf_files/pickup/dougaitiran.html)

According to ffmpeg these files are:-
  Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4, 240x176, 1.00 fps
  Stream #0.1: Audio: g726, 8000 Hz, mono, 16 kb/s

Instruction for windows users, (I'm windows-free):-

Anyway sorry for the long ramble. Basically has anyone used ffmpeg to convert, or mplayer to play movies on the C3000 ?

Thanks,
Brendan

Got one to work:-

su
ipkg install mplayer_0.90pre10_arm.ipk

cp /home/root/.mplayer/codecs.conf /home/zaurus/.mplayer/
chown zaurus.qpe /home/zaurus/.mplayer/codecs.conf


Use Mencode to rotate :-
mencoder -o temp.avi -ovc lavc -oac lavc -vop scale=240:320,rotate=1 ../input.avi

 ffmpeg -i ./temp.avi -ab 32 -b 200 -r 5 -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 Output_full.avi

A very good Mplayer/Mencoder frontend for windows.
