| 00:12.49 | zabbit | hello |
| 00:14.31 | vadim | hi |
| 00:19.10 | zabbit | i'm trying to get mplayer working on my Z and I keep hitting memory problems |
| 00:19.24 | zabbit | anyone have an experience of this? |
| 00:21.34 | vadim | what zaurus? |
| 00:22.00 | zabbit | 5500 |
| 00:22.15 | vadim | sorry, I never used it |
| 00:22.28 | vadim | mplayer works well on c7x0 |
| 00:22.37 | zabbit | completely smooth? |
| 00:22.49 | zabbit | with mpeg4s? |
| 00:22.52 | vadim | zabbit: no, of course |
| 00:23.14 | vadim | I can look movies up to 400x300@25fps |
| 00:23.26 | vadim | not full screen |
| 00:23.33 | zabbit | nice |
| 00:23.36 | vadim | with pxa255 |
| 00:23.53 | zabbit | sorry, what is pxa255? |
| 00:24.08 | zabbit | oh the cpu |
| 00:24.24 | vadim | pxa255 - cpu in c750/c760/c860. pxa250 - cpu in c700 |
| 00:24.32 | zabbit | xscale |
| 00:24.36 | vadim | yes |
| 00:29.53 | zabbit | i've read reports of ppl being able to run divx's on a sl5500 but not had the chance to talk to any. |
| 00:31.38 | zabbit | is it normally this quite on this channel? |
| 00:31.58 | ggilbert | no. We are just avoiding you |
| 00:32.18 | zabbit | hehe |
| 00:35.32 | raduga | zabbit: i gather mplayer works okay on SA-1110, but may be a little slow. |
| 00:36.16 | raduga | zabbit: actually, I can tell you for a fact that it *does* work on SA-1110, but I've had various random and sundry issues on my machine (Jornada 720) |
| 00:37.19 | raduga | issues with it being sluggish, sound being off, etc (the J720 uses a really slow framebuffer though, and X is totally unaccelerated, and the sound driver misbehaves for me fairly often, and the whole system is reasonably unstable) |
| 00:37.39 | *** part/#zaurus tapjpa (~jpa@CPE-65-30-145-231.wi.rr.com) |
| 00:37.57 | raduga | on an optimized 5500, I'd guess you should be able to have okay framerate at 320x200. |
| 00:39.07 | raduga | zabbit: what memory problems are you seeing? |
| 00:41.27 | zabbit | raduga: it just reports that it's out of memory. I don't have any other apps running either. |
| 00:41.43 | raduga | zabbit: how much memory do you have free? |
| 00:41.53 | raduga | before you start mplayer |
| 00:42.22 | zabbit | I'm using OZ3.2 with the 52MB of mem. |
| 00:42.35 | raduga | you have 52mb free? |
| 00:42.39 | raduga | that should be enough. |
| 00:43.36 | zabbit | I've been trying to play movies through opie-mediaplayer, i.e. no command line only. |
| 00:43.43 | zabbit | Is this critical? |
| 00:43.53 | raduga | OH. opie, not mplayer. |
| 00:43.59 | raduga | opie is not the same thing. |
| 00:44.15 | zabbit | I assumed that opie would be using mplayer |
| 00:44.25 | raduga | opie is rather more resource-intensive. It might work, but you'd be better off just using mplayer directly if you can. |
| 00:44.39 | raduga | errr. don't assume :) get mplayer and run it from command line. |
| 00:45.16 | raduga | Opie probably (from what I gather) can be configured to spawn off mplayer, but I've used it only with itself as a native renderer. |
| 00:45.29 | raduga | ibot: mplayer? |
| 00:45.31 | | a video, dvd, vcd, etc player. add ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ to your /etc/sources.list |
| 00:45.35 | Bryan_W | don't stop there see how vlc works for you too |
| 00:46.30 | raduga | anyway, opie behaved like a dog on a desktop linux (old opie though. actually, old, clunky, slow CPU too actually) |
| 00:46.32 | raduga | ymmv |
| 00:47.57 | raduga | brb |
| 00:49.51 | zabbit | raduga: just installing mplayer |
