Anyone gone wireless with OS4 on AmigaOne ?
If so, which PCI card did you use, and if you're in the UK, who sold it to you (if new !)

just doin m'research - trying to decide if wireless is worth the aggro...

@afxgroup
ciao,
Have not tried if the bug above occurs here (will try it out later), but if I may note that with the last but one version the altivec enabled one crashes here. AmigaOne-G4

@SLayeRDK

Have you seen this video?
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/01/09/ces_video_amiga_explains/

I think that just about sums things up, Amiga inc definately want to Kill the Amiga Operating System.

@ktadd

It could perhaps be something strange with the MPEG1-file. Maybe you could run it through VCDGear to see if it has any errors.

@Chris

thanks, very good emulator

Thanks. Sundown verified the problem on his system so there is probably not much sense in having others try it. Check you PM though.

Thanks. I've discovered that the padding crash only occurs when using mpeg1 files as the source file. Your results help to confirm that.

Quote:

The padding function adds a black (by default) boarder around the outside of the video much like you would see if you were viewing a widescreen video on a standard screen TV. Since the default color is black and the background color with the players is black you might not notice it if you use small values. The values are in pixels so try something like 40 as one of the pads and you will notice that the video is shifted in one direction in the player. Try using the -padcolor 888888 option with the pad options and the boarder will be gray and more easily seen.

I've verified that the problem exists in the new version and also on a PC version but feel free to give it a shot. Be warned though the the video and audio bitrate settings do not work properly with the new version and ffmpegGUI becuase they change the units for that option for kbps to bps.

Thanks for the feedback and don't forget to check your PM.

A little more info for you. I tried the PC version of ffmpeg and it actually throws an exception under the same padding conditions. The difference is it writes a stackdump file and exits. The video output file has been processed fine. I have noticed on the Amiga that the crash occurs at the very end of processing. My guess right now is that the output file on the Amgia is fine as well but is left open when ffmpeg throws the exception so it can't be accessed again. If there were a way to close the file I'd bet it would turn out to be fine.

Don't have the Amiga output file handy but here is the
PC stackdump file contents in case it helps:

I have seen the jaggies on occasion too but haven't investigated it much yet. Looks like another ffmpeg problem, or maybe I don't understand how to use it quite right.

Thanks for the report!

@Spirantho

mboehmer (the man behind E3B) is currently looking for informations about DMA under OS4 for his Deneb project.

It seems that he has some problems to contact the OS4 Team / Hyperion.

In the mean time TetiSoft and tboeckel have joined his thread at amiganews.de and I think he have got some infos from them.

I have posted some links to your old DMA/AmiTV threads.

I really hope that Rogue or tfrieden is already in touch with him.

@ktadd

More than happy to do some more testing if you want but let me know exactly what it is you want me to do.
I'm very much a newbie when it comes to ffmpeg.

I have used the older version with the command you stated previously.
I used it when converting wmv files to mpeg
No errors .
I have no idea what the pad function does though, so don't know if that was actually implemented.

Have downloaded the latest version if you need me to test that as well.

Cheers.

@lazi

OK too slow maybe better for a future 2.0 GHZ Amiga no?
But in the meantime is there too difficult to run Bochs?
Can anybody show me the basics to configure the emulator
on OS 4.0?

@Spirantho

I read that Poseidon chould use OS4 usb drivers, it mighy be an idea to try os4 hid driver with Poseidon. Well its worth a shot.

RWO

@Framiga

Thanks - E3B/Elbox... easily confused. :)

Poseidon's not good enough for me though - Poseidon works perfectly with my Highway... but Poseidon relies on patching the input.device for keyboard/mouse - which doesn't work on 4.0.

Hence I need native OS4 drivers.

@Spirantho

erm .. Deneb is a ZorroIII USB 2.0 card made by E3B (not Elbox)

Beeing Poseidon AmigaOS4 compatible (with some tweaking) probably it will work.

@GuruMeditation

aha so thats what PRISM is !
Cheers, I'll do that !

Hi everybody,

Some of you may be aware that I can't get my Highway to work under AOS 4 without it freezing solid the machine whenever there's heavy disk access (even on completely unrelated devices)... so I'm looking at alternatives.

It seems the total number of devices available right now for me is 1 - the one I've got, which doesn't work right.

What about the forthcoming Elbox Deneb though? Is this or will this be supported? Even under USB 1.1 conditions it'll allow me to use my USB keyboard/mouse which is what I really need.

I can't think of anything else to try - I've tried Poseidon (doesn't work because you can't patch input.device which is necessary for the mouse/keyboard, it seems), tried ANAIIS (worth a try!), but still no joy!

@ktadd

Problem with mpg files & pad settings confirmed here, email sent.

I get jaggies on the right side of an mpg file converted with different pad settings. I haven't tried the newer ffmpeg port yet, but will soon.

Yes, too slow for any serious use.

However I think it would be good for testing AROS stuff. I made some attempt to install AROS under BOCHS to test my Hollywood apps., but did not find a way to start it.

It complains about VGA features, and I am not able to set proper vga bios.

Is there anybody, who made it succefully boot AROSx86?

Bye!

@MamePPCA1

IMHO Bochs is way too slow to be of much use currently.

Still crashes on mpeg1 files even with the new version.
I did notice that if run the crashing mpeg1 files through
ffmpeg using the mpeg1video video codec that I can then
crop the resuting file without crashing. I tried this with the old version of ffmpeg.
