Re: [Freevo-users] No display device in freevo? Dxr3 video stream not system stream...

2003-08-21 Thread Mark Benson
Sucess! I managed to get the dxr3 working in slow degrees last night...

Started by trying cat test.mpg > /dev/em8300_mv

Expecting to see nothing, I got a few garbled images (This was definatley
progress! I didn't expect it to play properly as its an mpeg not an mv
stream)

Tried a few more files, got more or less the same results (Still better than
nothing)

Spent ages working with mplayer - only to discover that the dxr3 support is
broken... tried to fix it by getting a newer version of mplayer and
compiling that, but it complained about missing header files for the dxr3
(very strange - where have they gone since the last compile of mplayer? Or
maybe I had copied them into the mplayer source dir instead - can't remember
off hand - anyhoo I can sort that).

Tried an older release of freevo 1.3.2-pre4 binary - and hay presto, TVout
via the dxr3... sweet!

(Major problem with audio synch on divx movies - but hey, one thing at a
time)

Now to try and get everything in the latest release working...

2003-08-20 Thread Johan Celén
hmm.. have you followed the instructions of dxr3 setup (not the one in
freevo)?
do you have the devices for the dxr3 card?
cd em8300;cd modules;make devices
or something like that..

2003-08-20 Thread Mark Benson
Ok not 100% sure about this but I've just tried playing an mpeg 1 file thru
mplayer on a remote shell (not sure if doing it this way will work but I
can't see why not - even though I can't physically see the output :-).

tried mplayer -vo dxr3 -ao oss://em8300_ma-0 test.mpg

and mplayer -vo dxr3 test.mpg

But mplayer complains that it can't open the device...
==
Playing test.mpg
MPEG-ES file format detected.
VIDEO:  MPEG1  160x120  (aspect 1)  25.00 fps  409.6 kbps (51.2 kbyte/s)
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.


Exiting... (End of file)
==
This is the a version of mplayer that I compliled for dxr3 support -
followed the docs and it all seemed ok, dxr3 support was listed.

I'm stumped...

It have come thru, and I have already answered it ;)
If you want you can join #freevo on irc.gnu.org. I (^Y0da^) can try to help
you there
(will be faster that way ;)

I'll be there in an hour or so..

Re: [Freevo-users] No display device in freevo? Dxr3 video stream not system stream...

2003-08-20 Thread Johan Celén
Hopefully your card will work when you try it with mplayer :)
Seems like you have setup everything right. You might want to run
em8300setup -d btw,
then you'll be able to get both ac3 and pcm sound. I get the flicker on the
tv everytime I reboot /
reinitialize the card, so that's normal.
You should be able to play almost everything with your dxr3 card. All
mpeg1/2 streams should work fine.
You can also play xvid/divx. etc with mplayer, it renders the movie to mpeg
on the fly. :)).

Re: [Freevo-users] No display device in freevo? Dxr3 video stream not system stream...

2003-08-20 Thread Mark Benson
Thanks Johan,

I haven't tried running it with mplayer as yet, as I was trying to work thru
everything systematically. I will try mplayer when I'm actually infront of
the box next. I was wondering if the mpeg should be a specific format for
the dxr3, maybe it can only scale divisions of PAL resolutions?

I'm currently loading the modules by hand and then uploading the
microcode... rebooting doesn't have any affect for me.

If I run ./em8300setup -q first it complains that I need to upload the
microcode first, so I run ./em8300setup and it returns...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] em8300setup]# ./em8300setup
Video   Aspect  Audio   Spu
PAL 4:3 ANALOG  OFF

Running ./em8300setup -q returns the same info:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] em8300setup]# ./em8300setup -q
Video   Aspect  Audio   Spu
PAL 4:3 ANALOG  OFF

Which sounds ok to me - I'm in the uk so pal should be fine...

So far the closest I've got the getting any output from the dxr3 is screen
flicker when loading the modules and microcode.

I'm running RH9 with 2.4.20-19.9
I'm running on a dual celeron box (an old abit BP6)

Yeah.. I have a working dxr3 (hollywood+) in my freevo box..
I've got the same error that you have.. but all I had to do is to reboot,
and then it worked.
what do you get if you run em8300setup -q ? Does everything looks ok?
have you tried to run the card with mplayer (without freevo)
mplayer -vo dxr3 -ao oss://dev/em8300_ma-0 test.mpg
(or something like that)
This is my ldm:

modprobe i2c-algo-bit
insmod /apps/em8300-0.13.0/modules/adv717x.o pixelport_16bit=0
pixelport_other_pal=0
insmod /apps/em8300-0.13.0/modules/bt865.o
insmod /apps/em8300-0.13.0/modules/em8300.o dicom_other_pal=0 dicom_fix=0
dicom_control=1

and in my rc.local i've got
em8300setup -d
you might have to set the pal/pal60/ntsc too.. think i changed the defaults
on my modules to that..

Wich kernel are you using btw? I'm running 2.4.21, works perfectly. But with
2.4.22rc2 em8300 wont even compile :/
had to patch it to support i2c 2.8.0.. but the patch made em8300 to fail
compilation :/
Anyone running dxr3 with 2.4.22rc2 (or atleast i2c 2.8.0 ? )

Regards
Johan
