Pinned to get exposure (no, you still aren't allowed to get naked).
Report bugs and quirks you run into.
For now your link seems 404.
Edit: fixed it for great justice.

[maslovsky]

I also fixed it - now it's the official kino2 link

[xjqian]

great, thanks. and I figured out how to play what I want: 480x640 full screen landscape on 6k. I'm slow please bear with me if you've already known this.

This might/should be 6k specific

Code: [Select]

Advanced options
options for maplyer: -vf rotate=1,scale=480:640gives me the desired result

selecting "scale to screen" = passing "-fs" to the mplayer, vedio playback is still 320x240 or 240x320

btw, mplayer_1.0.1-1 is available on atty.jp , haven't benchmarked against 1.0.0-1 myself.

If I install the new mplayer (I'm using Cacko 1.22 on C750) it adds several Megs instead of replacing the existing mplayer. Is this intended? Or can I replace the old mplayer files manually with the new ones?

Few observations about the new release:

1. Playlist loads much faster and positions on top as it should -
great since this was a major problem with previous release

2. Kino is even more aggresive in terms of taking over the keybard - after I start kino playlist (mp3) and then either opera and/or bash zaurus does not respond to any keystrokes which makes kino2 unusable unless you only want to listen to music. This is with cacko light on sl860.

Yes, software scale (scale=480:640) should work with fbdev driver, although performance won't be as good as with w100 driver. Will try to include this in version 0.4.3.  BTW, check if it's -vo or -vf

Yes, this option only works with w100 and bvdd drivers.

Yes, unfortunately, one cannot replace existing binaries in the ROM. You have a couple of options:

 - Install mplayer to SD card
 - Reflash with 1.22 Lite ROM version and only install packages you want

Yep, I know

Here is a workaround - toggle playlist after playback starts, that should release the keyboard. I'll try to fix this issue permanently in 0.4.3

Maslovsky, I noticed on your screenshots page that you've managed to get Kino (or Mplayer) to recognize IDv3 tags. Does this depend on what Mplayer version we're using? And is there any way to get IDv3 tag recognition in future releases of the 6k-compatible Mplayer?

The vedio filter (software scale) is -vf (similare functionality as -vop, which is obsolete). I refered to the mplayer online manual.

-vo is vedio output, which will auto selec fbdev in 6k, won't it?

Are you sure you have MP3 tags in your files? Do other programs show them?
Also, check if you have mplayer.conf file somehwere and delete if if you find it.

Sorry, I meant -vop of course. Thanks for the info about -vf, I'll update kino to use it instead of -vop...

Yep, I'm a meticulous "tagger," so the files are properly tagged in every field. And there's no mplayer.conf file -- I know this thanks to the handy grep app that you wrote.

I haven't got any other application to recognize the tags, but so far Qtopia Media Player is the only app I've tried them in other than Kino.

Maybe I'm using a version of IDv3 tag that's too old/new for Mplayer to process correctly.

[maslovsky]

mplayer only recognizes version 1 of mp3 tags, that maybe your problem. Make sure you have both versions present in your files.
