Re: omxplayer on TFT Display

from the way i understand things, omxplayer bypasses fb0 entirely, and renders at the dispmanx level, so fbcp likely wont do any good i think the player would have to be modified to either use dispmanx_snapshot, or raw rgb565 output, and then feed that over to the 2nd framebuffer or you could make a...

Re: Strange Log Entry

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HT ... xx_Success

206 happens when a user downloads part of a file, skipping to the middle and limiting the size on purpose

video players often do that, to only download the parts they need, and keep doing more partial requests as it plays

Re: YUV420: OMX.broadcom.resize -> dispmanx display problem

for omx, the padded width value is stored under nStride, and the padded height is under nSliceHeight dispmanx may have different alignment requirements, requiring you to copy each plane, or if the stride isnt compatible, each line of every plane i may have more info once i finish testing some code o...

Re: mplayer gpu decode support

i think its ffmpeg trying to copy the whole video frame too many times need to look at passing arround EGL surface handles, rather then full frames also, -vo sdl and -vo x11(worst) have identical performance something in the sdl output module isnt using hardware and -vo fbdev is just as bad, since i...

Re: mplayer gpu decode support

ok, i now have full YUV420 frames coming out of the gpu
but due to various factors, its peaking at 10 to 14 fps at 1080p
just not usable at those resolutions, will have to try the EGL stuff

Re: JFFS2

except i just killed the card i got from element14 by compiling mplayer a couple dozen times
its so bad that apt breaks too, the .postinst bash script turns into binary garbage and the fs gets corrupted within 30mins of booting, even if i had already ran fsck on the card

yeah, i was just wondering if it could be forced to work, even thru the 2nd layer of wear leveling on the sd controller the issue i can see, is that when your card is 90% full, and 90% read-only (os files), any constant use in the remaining 10% can overwear those pages, while leaving the other 90% v...

mplayer gpu decode support

ive been working on adding gpu decode to mplayer, and almost have it working but omx isnt accepting the codec config in ffmpeg's extradata, even though its the identical data to what omxplayer is using http://ext.earthtools.ca/download/rpi/svn-2013-11-22.patch http://ext.earthtools.ca/download/rpi/g...

Re: Sending Data From Home Network to 3G connected Raspberry

openvpn seems like the simplest solution, doesnt need any ports open at the client(rpi), and you can easily tell if the pi is online (openvpn server log files, or status command)

Re: GPIO LCD

i havent looked into it much yet, but in theory, you could maybe write a framebuffer driver for the external lcd

once thats done, the linux console and xorg (gui) would work with no modification to their code

video decode, no idea, anybody know if that can be aimed at a secondary framebuffer?

Re: SSH Tunnel through 2 NAT routers

idealy, you would configure the 2nd router to act as a switch, so its just one big network with only a single router that would involve changing the ip of the 2nd 'router' to exist within the other network, turning the dhcp off, and then using only the lan ports (ignore the wan port) once thats done...

Re: SSH Tunnel through 2 NAT routers

router1 has to be setup to forward port 22 to router2, via the ip on that side of the router
then router2 has to forward port 22 to the rpi

but your better off figuring out why you need 2 nat's, and redoing it to only nat once, in most cases

one crude method, is to just make a serial link (rx+tx, maybe add differential pairs to improve noise)

then just run pppd over that, turning it into a network link

Re: Foundation Camera Board information

Sort of right. Every camera needs a camera driver, they are all different enough to need new drivers each time. On top of that they need a colossal amount of ISP tuning parameters to be very carefully generated so the pictures 'look right'. This is all done in the GPU. A text file with these parame...

Re: emergency.img and GPIO5

its a 'safe mode' because it ignores all other config in config.txt and boots a backup kernel, allowing you to undo broken config with just a keyboard&display

but when your doing a headless project, it just sits at a shell forever, and appears to hang
