New Mplayer And Kernel :p

[ThC]

I was googling around, looking for informations on my soon-to-be-received c3000 and just seen there was a new kernel for it with a whole bunch of optimisations by tetsu and a pxa270-optimised mplayer which is under development (btw I haven't been able to find a download link for it but it seem to be working  and it now seem to have better decoding performances than c860 thanks to wMMX optimisations wich are getting supported

mplayer optimised for c3000 is out  (do not require any special kernel)
Now waiting for my c3000 to come in (will have to wait 'till monday ... doh) to test it ...

hello,

  i've been waiting for the file you're mentionning. In the tarball are "bvdd.o" and "mplayer". Can you tell from the atty.jp site how they must be installed ? i had no chance making it work with insmod bvdd.o and ./mplayer... it says "vo_bvdd: could'nt open /home/zaurus/.dev_bvdd" and of course i haven't got this file !

ok i've found it !

sudo tar zxf mplayer-20041224.tar.gz
$ ls -l
 -rw-r--r--    1 1000     users       14592 Dec 23 18:09 bvdd.o
 -rwsr-sr-x    1 root     root      5081372 Dec 24 09:06 mplayer
$ sudo insmod bvdd.o
$ sudo mknod /home/zaurus/.dev_bvdd c 240 0
$ ./mplayer -vo bvdd foobar.avi

but it does not work with my test file.. i have to try with another movie file !

thanks for the tip google translator haven't really helped me out for that and I just received my c3000 so I will now try this mplayer ... (now doing a hdd backup btw to get sure not to brick it during the next days ) will let you know about wich encodings i'll find to play the best

Well, this doesn't realy work for me though. I can watch an mpg
for one or two times, but than all I see is flicker on the sreen.

rmmod bvdd and insmodding it again doesn't solve it.

Hmm, even after 'reboot' it doesn't work anymore. That needs further
investigating ..

Let's see ...
