Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Video How-to

« on: May 28, 2005, 03:58:24 pm »

- can someone make the same job for Windows users ? i know virtualdub has some sripting abilities in filtering, and that the filtering process can be saved in a file. Can someone post those files here ?

Well, the MPlayer project has made a Windows port for both MPlayer and MEncoder. It's still in beta, but I can make MEncoder for Windows encode movies that will work with MPlayer on the Zaurus using this command:

Code: [Select]

mencoder.exe "insert_video_location_here_in_the_script" -srate 44100 -vop scale=320:240 -o movie_name_that_you_want.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=15:mode=3 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4 -ofps 15 -sws 2The change in the vcodec section represents the use of DivX3 instead of DivX 4 or 5, which seems to be the only one that MEncoder encoded and MPlayer plays. That command encoded a 1 hour and 30 minutes movie to around 102MB, so it'll fit nicely on a moderately-sized CF card.

EDIT: I should've mentioned before, I'm using a 5500 with the 3.5.3 Hentges ROM (uses MPlayer 1.0-pre7).

I couldn't resist after seeing that lovely Mac screen:

Wow. How'd you get that setup?

It's fixed, the Hentges ROM seems to have it preinstalled .

Positive, although I'm going to switch to the Hentges ROM (is using the stock 3.5.2 rom right now), heard good things about it. I'll reply if I get it fixed or if it still doesn't work

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Nethack Problems

Nope, the size is fine, yet it refuses to install. However, I am using the stock 3.5.2 OZ ROM, that might be the problem. I've heard enough good things about Hentges to motivate me to switch.

Code: [Select]

Z_Init : Allocated 8064Kb zone memory
Could not initialize SDL [No available video device]Any suggestions?

It is an old package (2002). Is there any way to force the installation? I've tried enabling all the force options in ipkg to no avail.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Nethack Problems

« on: February 10, 2005, 04:07:49 am »

I downloaded the opie-nethack package from the OZ feed, and when I attempt to install, this is the output I get:

Code: [Select]

Cannot find package /mnt/cf/opie-nethack_3.4.0-2_arm.ipk
Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'I downloaded it to my CF card and am opening it from there, so I don't see a reason why the package manager won't find it. Any ideas?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Opie Player 2 Crash

« on: January 08, 2005, 01:28:31 pm »

Did you remember to install a skin? Opieplayer2 works alot like xine, you need to install alot of skins and libs.

PS: If you get it working, I'd be curious to see how well it works with movies, I didn't get that working and moved to xmms, but mplayer is horribly slow.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Wireless Trouble

« on: January 08, 2005, 01:23:08 pm »

I'm having trouble setting up my Ambicom WL1100C in OZ 3.5.2. When I try to connect to a network, I get a quality of 0% and a signal of 71%, and those values never change. I think it might be a problem with me not having prism2_usb or wlanctl-ng, does anyone know where to get those if I need them (I looked in the OZ package feed, nothing there). If not, what could be the problem?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that my wireless card DOES start the interface, it just has those percentage problems, and I can't ping the network. It seems to want to use wifi0, and never uses wlan0.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Opie Partitioning Oddities

Ok, and I link libs installed on the ramdisk to the root FS with ipkg-link?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Opie Partitioning Oddities

« on: January 03, 2005, 07:27:41 pm »

I recently got Opie 1.2 with OZ 3.5.2 (48M for RAM, 16M for storage) on my Zaurus, and it's very good. However, when I look at the storage info in the sysinfo program, I see many entries:
Internal Storage /dev/root: 14M
Internal Memory: 15M
Internal Memory: 23M
SD Card
CF Card
What mystifies me are the many internal memory entries. The root directory (first entry) has only 904KB free, which makes installing libraries and programs near-impossible. Where's that 23M of internal memory coming from? Is there any way I can repartition the memory to make the root bigger?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Bricked Sl5500?

« on: December 21, 2004, 04:58:19 pm »

I think I found the problem for me: I didn't make sure that the images were downloaded fully, and they were corrupted! My zImage file was 189KB when it's supposed to be 889KB.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Bricked Sl5500?

By 'engages fully', do you mean hold it down for a while or something? I'll try it, it is pretty hard to know whether it works or not :S.

Nope, nothing still, even after I took the cards out of both slots. I can press the D+P combo, and that lights up the mail and battery, but nothing else. Anything else?
