Kino 0.4.1

[shreks]

One more thing - C5600, C3000 and C6000 owners, please, do the following for me:

1. Install kino2 0.4
2. Download the following binary (http://cacko.oesf.org/downloads/kino2/kino2) and copy it to /home/QtPalmtop/bin, override existing file
3. Launch kino2 and let me know if it starts at all or not.

There is a problem in kino 0.4 such that it woun't start at all on other Zaurus models. So I wanted to know if I was able to fix it or not in the first place...

On my SL-C3000 with the orignal Sharp ROM, the original kino2 0.4 does not start at all. After replacing the binary kino2 file, it can start now. But when I tried to open any MPEG and AVI file and press the play button, nothing happened! This is true with the MPEG file which can be played by the default movie player and the japanese animation AVI file on that MIT guy's mplayer site which can be played very well his mplayer. I checked out the console output but there were no any error messages generated when playing movie files.

Hope this information helps!

Yes it does! This means I found out why kino didn't start at all.
As for the AVI files not playing - this is because mplayer included with kino4 is for w100 video chip. Just wait for version 0.4.1 - other Zaurus models will be supported

I backed up my OZ install on my 5600 and installed the Sharp rom v1.32 with the Special Kernel v1.3 today. After testing both mplayers I have found that the best video and audio was achieved by using the mplayer-static-softvfp-ipp-2 with the RL_MQB_320*240.avi test video. I did not overclock the Z for this test. I will attach the benchmark using the best settings and a screenshot of the newKino2_0.4 binary on a 5600 for you. Regardless of what the benchmark says it looks and sounds great.

I hope this helps you Maslovsky and please post if you need anything else checked.

Thanks maslovsky and anrp!

Thanks for the info! How about Settings dialogs in kino? Do they fit into 5600 screen?

[maslovsky]

I'll test some more when I get home from work.  I can definitely see the value of distributing a static mplayer with kino though.  Has anyone contacted cwaig about this? He had been making some progress on the 6000 video acceleration, I think.

It would be great to include C6000 video  hadrware support (if that's available) into current mplayer verison

[maslovsky]

Also, post me output of cat /proc/deviceinfo/product  command here on C5600, C6000 and C3000

No, I thought I could get to them in portrait mode but I can't. The bottom is cut off in the settings. I can post screenshots if you need them?

bash-2.05$ cat /proc/deviceinfo/product
SL-5600

Yes, post a couple of screenshots, so that I can see whene to fix layouts.

All that I've installed is the binary out of your ipk and opened with terminal.

[maslovsky]

OK, thanks, will need to paly wih the margins and spacing...

[shreks]

I launched mplayer from the Terminal on my C3000 and I didn't use any parameters, I just typed:

mplayer-static-softvfp-ipp-nofastmath-2  xxx.mpg/avi

and it works! The only problem is that there no window frame around the movie area, such that I cannot move it. And the movie area is a rectangle at the upper left corner.

I will post some outputs of kino2 you want when I get back home.

OK, how did you launch mplayer, with which parameters?
Did you try updated kino2 binary? Does it run?

No, all codecs are built into mplayer, kino2 is only a GUI fontend. You can contact mplayer maintainers and ask them to add those codecs.

[maslovsky]

For C3000 it's best to use special version of mplayer for that device. Install these two packages:

http://atty.jp/?plugin=attach&refer=Zaurus...1.0.0-1_arm.ipk
http://atty.jp/?plugin=attach&refer=Zaurus...0.1.0-1_arm.ipk

Then reboot your zaurus.

After Zaurus boot, execute the folowingas root:

Code: [Select]

chmod a+s /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/mplayer
Launch mplayer using -vo bvdd parameter instead of -vo w100 or -vo fbdev

mplayer-static-softvfp-ipp-nofastmath-2  xxx.mpg/avi

cat /proc/deviceinfo/product
SL-6000


that's all there is.

was there anyhting else that should have shown up?

I have been pretty much working and sleeping this week....Didn't benchmark yet, but did use the latest optimized binary.  It was  good.  It seemed to be using libvorbis, though.  wouldn't tremor have been faster? Or am I confused? at any rate -ao sdl was good, slightly better than -ao oss in my 1 sample subjective test...  but that is very different from 0.9pe10, which didn't do sdl audio at all. I was unable to do -vo sdl, but that may be the sdl I'm using (though it mostly seems to be an improvement)

That's enough, I just needed to know how to properly detect different Zaurus models.

Interesting, I haven't tried any SDL audio, need to check it out.

[cybersphinx]

Also, add -af resample=44100:0:0 option if audio frequency in your video file is different form 44100[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

What about [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10293&view=findpost&p=63827]this[/url] post, where someone said that the Zaurus plays fastest at 48kHz? Has anyone tried this and can corfirm/deny it?

[adf]

eeeek!
i rip at freq24000 bitrate56kbits ogg w/ dvd::rip
I kinda doubt my Z has the horsepower to play video, handle sync and resample 24k to 41 in real time.
theoretically halving the 48k a52 rate to 24k makes sync easier...  i have had fewer problems since i started doing things that way, but my evidence is simply anecdotal.
