Mplayer With Bvdd - Wont !
« on: March 21, 2005, 02:38:30 pm »
Has anyone actually got mplayer running with the bvdd driver on the 3000?

I translated the Japanese page at atty.jp and found a note saying that if you install the mplayer executable from the package manager this chmod a+s in the postinst script doesn't take so I applied that.

When I use Kino2 I get just the track number in the Window - no video.

When I run 'mplayer -vo bvdd <video>' I get a single flicker as the video starts to play then nothing... mplayer freezes and I have to close the terminal.

(installed the bvdd driver and mpayer-noiwmmxt and rebooted)

I'm runnin the stock Kernel from 1.11JP ROM at the moment.. any success stories ? What did you need to do ?

Bvdd driver + mplayer really works although it was a little buggy in my case. I had more success starting the mplayer from a remote than from a local shell. Usually I had to give the mplayer command a couple of times before it actually started playing.

I can't give you step by step instructions right now because I'm dealing with another problem (and restored to original settings) but at least you should have the following packages installed: bvdd_0.1.0-1_arm.ipk, mplayer-bvdd_1.0.0-1_arm.ipk and libmad (libmad_0.15.0b-zports-0_arm.ipk?).

To start the mplayer enter something like:
Code: [Select]
bash$ mplayer -framedrop -vo bvdd -vop rotate=1 -ss 10 -ac mad Documents/Movie_Files/file.aviAs I have stated before, I had always had to give this command a couple of times before the movie actually started.

The one thing I didn't succeed in was to play a movie in fullscreen format independent of the source format (so showing a 320x240 format fullscreen on the 640x480 Z display). Kino I didn't use (yet).

hi,

  i've been able to use first "beta" versions of bvdd and mplayer with bvdd support with Sharp ROM 1.0 kernel. I was not able to get fullscreen.

After that i've updated to the "ipk" packages bvdd, mplayer-bvdd (with or without iwmmxt) and nothing comes up to the screen. kino won't help. since mplayer would not work with sharp kernel, i've updated my kernel to tetsu's one and tested mplayer-bvdd with v17d to v17h versions of kernel without success.

Currently i'm using kernel v17h from tetsu with mplayer-w100 (fbdev and special qvga mode for fullscreen) and it works quite fine... well it has the advantage to work as i'm really unable to find the exact format the builtin movie app will accept playing

So, I FINALLY got a good mp4 file to play with no frame drops and audio is synced properly.

I downloaded PSP Video 9 to do the re-encoding from an XviD file to something that plays beautifully on the C3000 using Kino2/mplayer.

Used the default settings in PSP Video 9.  

I'm going to continue to test other filetypes to convert, but so far, I'm happy with it!

OK, there are new versions of mplayer and bvdd on the atty website ...

http://atty.jp/?Zaurus%2Fmplayer#content_1_2

With bvdd 0.3.1 and mplayer 1.1.2 I can now run bvdd for QVGA movies simply by passing the arguments -vm -fs and these options work from Kino2.

Tested with the iwmmxt version of mplayer on Cacko 1.23 beta1 for SL-C3000.

Andy,

which kino are you running? I got kino2-bvdd- 0.4.2p6-bvdd and I only get a light glitch and then I am back inthe Kino2 main screen.

starting mplayer standalone with -vo bvdd -fs -vm brings me the usual 270 degree rotation

Cheers

Ah, forgot to mention I think you need the special kernel to enable some of the bvdd stuff and certainly you need it for iwmmx version.

I'm running Kino2 0.4.2-1 from the http://cacko/kino2 site, bvdd 0.3.1-1 from atty's page and mplayer-bvdd-iwmmxt version 1.1.2-1 again from atty's web page.

The current Kernel being used with Cacko3K is tetsu Special Kernel 17h.

can someone tell me why there is a iwmmxt version and why there is a "normal" version ? and which is the best one ?

by the way there's a new v18a testu kernel for the C3000 to try !

The iwmmxt is certainly the best one, it uses the Intel Wireles MMX extensions present on the PXA270. For some reason, and I haven't studied the PXA270 manual enough to know why, the IWMMX extensions need to be enabled in Kernel mode for you to be able to use them in your apps . Without this you get an Illegal Opcode trap - hence the need for the special Kernel. The standard version doesn't use these extensions and implements the functionality through standard PXA opcodes - hence it's a little slower.

I installed as per http://my-zaurus.narod.ru/kino.html , using sudo, iwmmx, bvdd, and kino 0.4.2 ....

I try and play a movie, and it just freezes up, difficult to get it back.Using standard ISO MPEG4 and mpeg3 that wok using default player.

using standard sharp rom with C3000 ...

Anyone have any idea why it doesnt work as it should?

cheers,
Devon

Yes, firstly you need to go to tetsu's special kernel for and mplayer-iwmmx to work.

I'm assuming that you downloaded the new versions from atty's site and NOT the older versions on the Kino2 site. The new versions are required to get qvga support out of the bvdd driver.

OK, atty has been busy.

Theres a version 0.3-1 of mplayer-iwmmxt on the website.

Notably it implements the rotation stuff within the bvdd handler which is much faster than using the -vo rotate=1 option. Remove the option and it will do it automatically.

Cool stuff and fast...

(Goes off to encode something short at ridiculously high framerates and 640x480)

OK I'm stunned with the 640x480 quality with no oveclocking on the new version of mplayer.

Test encoded as follows...

mencoder dvd://1 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=600:acodec=
mp3:abitrate=112:vhq:vpass=1 -vf scale=640:480 -ofps 18 -alang eng
mencoder dvd://1 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=600:acodec=
mp3:abitrate=112:vhq:vpass=2:vb_strategy=1 -vf scale=640:480 -ofps 18 -alang eng

That's about 600Mb for nearly 2 hrs but it's awesome for a shorter demo.

I took your advice and ditched the kino site installs (which, btw, did say worked with the c3000!?), and used atty's ...

Its pretty awesome! compared to Video Player, much better quality, and thats just at 320x240. I'll give 640x480 a go shortly. More importantly, it works without failing...

well, I have one minor problem, when I cancel the video, its wiping out the status bar along the bottom....  ie the whole taskbar is blank , but click on it and it is functional. Figuring it out ...

cheers,
Devon
