Kino 0.4.1

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?

I'm not sure there will be a significant difference between 44 and 48 Khz, but you can try for yourself. Encode a sample video with difference audio bitrates and run mplayer benchmarks

God, it's scary! I downloaded the bvdd version of mplayer and tried it on my C3000. Not only it cannot play the movie files which can be played by that MIT version, but also it crashed my C3000, the screen gradually whited out and the machine stopped responding. I had to hard reset it. Scary!

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

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.

On my C3000,

bash-2.05$ cat /proc/deviceinfo/product
SL-C3000

And also the layout of kino2 at both portrait and landscap is correct on my Z.

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

OK, thanks. I will have some time tomorrow to play with kino2. Hopefully will release a version, which runs on all these models. Can't promise smooth operation on 5600, 6000 and 3000 though

[maslovsky]

OK, try this new kino2 package:

http://cacko.oesf.org/downloads/kino2/kino2_0.4.1_arm.ipk

Note that mplayer is now a separate package, so make sure to install one of the following:

For C3000:

http://cacko.oesf.org/downloads/kino2/mpla...1.0.0-1_arm.ipk
http://cacko.oesf.org/downloads/kino2/bvdd_0.1.0-1_arm.ipk

For 5600, 6000 and C7x0/860:

http://cacko.oesf.org/downloads/kino2/mpla...1.0.0-1_arm.ipk

The w100 package includes latest built from anrp, so VBR MP3 files should play properly.

Kino2 uses ATI w100 driver for C7x0/860 and defaut fbdev for 5600 and 6000 models. For C3000 bvdd driver is selected.

I've updated layout a bit, so kino2 GUI should look better on 5600, but will probably still have problems.

Feedback is welcome...

The BVDD version of mplayer does not work on my C3000, I don't know why. If I use it to play a standard mpeg file without any parameters or with "-vo fbdev" parameter, it complains that "illegal instructions" and something like "the program is not compiled for this processor". If I add "-vo bvdd" parameter to play the movie file, at the first time running, after ouput some frame information, it becomes very very slow and no movie image is created. If I run the program again, my machine is crashed by it! This crash can be repeated every time! It means that there is still some problems with the bvdd.o driver. Can anyone report this problem to the author of bvdd driver?

Therefore when I launched kino2 to play a movie file, it can open the file but after I pressed the play button, nothing happened.

However I can use the w100 version or the MIT version of mplayer with the option "-vo fbdev" to play movie files without problem, so I am wondering if kino2 can use the w100 version with "fbdev" option to play movies on C3000 model?

I find a bug when the file name is XXXXX.XXXX.mp3(or other type) cannot shown in the open file listbox.

can the next version fix it?

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.

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]

Did you try to play movie from kino2? Did you try to run mplayer with parameters as was described just a few posts above or in thread about new mplayer? Did you try to open kino2 preferences - you can specify options for mplayer from there.

The new Kino2_0.4.1 and mplayer-w100_1.0.0-1 works great on my 5600 with the Sharp rom v1.32. I can rotate the app and reach all preference settings, some in portrat and others in landscape but I can reach them and they kept their settings.

The only problem was that the installation of the Kino2.ipk causes the Zaurus to freeze when you close the package manager to complete the install. This may be caused by the fact that it creates a new multimedia tab and it can't find the icon, but I'm not sure. I also noticed on my linux box that I had to use cervisia to explore the new multimedia directory of the ipk... could that be the problem? However after a soft reset you can copy the 'xmms.png' and the 'tv.png' from the

/home/QtPalmtop/pics144 and the /pics144/kino2

directorys to the

/home/QtPalmtop/pics

Then change the 'kino2.desktop' file line

Icon=kino2/tv.png
to
Icon=tv.png

This corrected any problem with the ipk that I had.

Thanks for including the 5600 in this Kino2 build.

Thanks for the updates. installed on 6K,  love the many options in the preferences.  however, some issues so far

* rotate
barely rotates the movie screen from left landscape to right landscape. in other words, movies are never played in portrait mode, even when kino2 is in portrait mode. don't know if it's intentionaly to be so.  Besides, rotate only rotates the movie but not the subtitile, leaving me an upside down reading experience.
(these are the problems I first noticed when using the anrp's mplayer from the console)
* scale
w/o scale, movie only playes in the left 1/4 corner, and the other part of the screen is not dark (not fullscreen per the definition in Kino2 0.22)
w/ scale, movie playes ok in the middle, same 1/4 screen size though. dark background (same as selecting the option fullscreen+NO_scale in Kino2 0.22)
so basicly, scale doesn't work on 6k.
* fullscreen option? is this option omitted in the kino2 0.4?

Thanks for reporting that. That's the best I could do without major layout rework.

Yes, the problem is that fbdev video driver behaves differently from w100 version.

w/o scale, movie only playes in the left 1/4 corner, and the other part of the screen is not dark (not fullscreen per the definition in Kino2 0.22)

so basicly, scale doesn't work on 6k.

Kino2 0.4 was tuned for the w100 optimised mplayer. I'll try to get back some old code, which deals with fbdev driver.

* fullscreen option? is this option omitted in the kino2 0.4?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65738\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Yes, scale basicaly means full screen because it always scale to the full screen.using -fs option.

[tumnus]

I tried the Kino2 and mplayer packages on my 5600, although I didn't notice any significant speed increase over say tkcVideo. I didn't have any installation problems though, other than the huge size of the mplayer binary.

I wonder what performance you would get if mplayer was compiled with SDL support so sdl could be used instead of fbdev since that messes up the screen?
