Software / Audiobook Player

« on: November 17, 2005, 10:16:22 pm »

Maybe you can write a script with sed, tr, grep and the like that parses the output of the mplayer console for the time position and save that to a bookmark file which you can give back to mplayer as an -ss parameter.

Goldwave is the business!!!

Am relistening to all of the Wheel of Time and Game of Thrones series before I read the latest books, both arrived the same day - damn you amazon, now I have to decide which to read first!!!

there is an option in mplayer -ss hh:mm:ss to play from a specific point, just need to figure out a reliable way to capture the last listened to point.


I went through the motions of dowmloading and setting up all ter bits for PyQPlayer http://pyqplayer.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/b...qPlayerDownload
only to actually read the screen and find that the actual player download is not there yet!

The way I get around this on my Sl-6000 is to break up the file into smaller "Chapters". At first, I actually found the book' schapter break points, but that took too much time. Now, I just use Goldwave, which has an option to break up into files of X:XX length automatically.

Cxx0 Hardware / Band Nand Block - Should I Be Concerned?

« on: August 20, 2005, 11:23:37 am »

Well, its dead.  Going back to the seller.

It had the infamous flashing power and mail LED problem which from previous posts indicate a bad nand chip.

Cxx0 Hardware / Band Nand Block - Should I Be Concerned?

Just investigating the service menu on my recently aquired zaurus c860.

RAM Check Quick and Full seems to be fine.

----------------------------------------------------------
Running DEMO results in

Nand Flash REad

I have only used it for several days and seems to be working fine apart from me not being able to su to root.  The previous owner has set a root password and I cant overwrite /etc/shadow.   Any ideas on how to fix that?


I cant seem to be able to do a Nand backup.  It complains that it cannot get the size of the CF card which seems to work on my 5600.  


One other post here said that nand block errors are  common even on new zaurii ( plural ? zaurus).  Should I be concerned?

Thanks

Qt/Qtopia / Any Interest In Duke3d?

« on: July 30, 2005, 01:44:39 pm »

great will try it now

another few cool apps to compile with soft float would be stratagus and scummvm, any possibilities on that. both are very well behaved sdl apps.

Does stratagus run in 320x240 ?

id like to try this out if someone can put it on the web somewhere

I uploaded the binary to the website below.  It is duke3dfloat.tar.gz.

« on: July 26, 2005, 10:56:13 pm »

No ipk. I can email you  the binary.  I have only tested it with the shareware version of duke3d.  The libs are statically compiled so it should work.

I disabled precaching of sounds and the Tab key is used as Escape key.
Its fast and playable, music works well.  The only problem is the sound effects.

« on: July 26, 2005, 01:12:45 am »

I managed to compile it with gcc 3.4.2 optimized for xscale and with soft float and running in qtopia.

The sound problem persists though.  Maybe someone on this list can take a look at the source.  It is simply beyond my know how to fix it.  

I can post the instructions on how to compile it or I can compile it for anyone willing to examine the source code.

Thanks.

General Discussion / How Do You Do That In Linux - New Web Address

« on: February 20, 2005, 09:30:23 pm »

The web site is up again though I have not much time to tinker with the zaurus and the pc currently as I have just moved to a new house.  

May still be incomplete.

The new address is http://home.mchsi.com/~cmisip/index.htm

How do you change the parameters to mplayer that kino uses?

I want to try it with another mplayer version that does not recognize the -nortc option.

Thanks

Maslovsky,

I tried your mplayer binary on my 5600 with Zynergy ROM.  I am getting some short horizontal black bars scattered all over the screen when playing ogg movies.  Any idea whats causing this?

Thanks

Here's the output of mplayer. I ran with no parameters.

Philippine / Mabuhay!

« on: January 18, 2005, 10:44:48 pm »

Kumusta,
I am a Filipino but I live in Indiana US.

Glad to see na may mga pilipino sa forum na ito.

I have a zaurus 5600 using Zynergy ROM.

jerric, sa  playback ng media, subukan mo yung mplayer.  Full screen yon sa 5600 pero you have to reencode into something na kayang iplayback sa Zaurus.  I use 320x240 resolution MPEG4 with ogg audio.

Examples ng other programs na ginagamit ko:

Games: Quake, PrBoom (Doom I and II), Ultima IV, Space Quest, Police Quest, Leisure Suit Larry (FreeSCI and Sarien emulator), Kpacman, Xgalaga, Powermanga, Heretic

Media player : Mplayer

Internet : Opera for Webbrowsing. I managed to compile Minimo pero buggy pa ito eh.

VOIP : Kphone (para di gagamit ng cell phone minutes pag tawag sa Phils).

Firewall : Shorewall

GPS : QpeGps and Zroadmap


Have Fun!!

May mga pilipino pala dito.

Mabuhay!
