Any altivec experts? (H.264 codec)

@Raziel

Run MouseBlanker in commodities, set the SECONDS tooltype to set how long it waits for blanking the mouse (I use 5). This is a global function, anytime the mouse isn't moved for x seconds it will be blanked. It will also blank the mouse as soon as you start typing.

Heh, thats a neat trick, thanks for the hint

What does DELTAMOUSE do?
There is no documentation for MouseBlanker

@Raziel
I think it's the amount you must move before
the mouse reappear, so if you move the mouse
a little bit it doesn't reappear

@pvanni

Thanks

Still can't login... As I had to use Sev Erin as a user name it's stored as Sev%20Erin in the cookie, fail and retry the login and it's Sev%2520Erin then Sev%252520Erin etc.

@Severin

You don't have a space in your login name.

Hmmm... it seems odyssey decided to screw up then after being fine for months... weird. but I'm back in now

@LiveforIt.

Can't post this on your site as it is too long for the comments there.

I get that AHI sound format 28 not supported error if I run mplayer after viewing videos in Odyssey.

That's the speed you have to move the mouse to make the pointer reappear.

@Spectre660

I think FFMPEG2.7.1 I had to disable many of video codecs, because they required hardware acceleration, FFMPEG 2.6.3 is better fit, I think.

@all
I noticed some random freezes always when I resized MPlayer window or when I switched MPlayer from fullscreen to windowed screen.

It occured with or without CPU or network workload.
Do you noticed the same freezes ?

Thank you for your feedbacks

X1000/R7-250X

@zzd10

No problem here of that kind here.

@zzd10h

no problems here

@KL@tommysammy

Ok, thank you for your replies
For me it occurs not often but when it occurs it's always when i'm resizing mplayer.

Why can't we use this hardware acceleration then if it exists instead of finding a slow SW version?!??!

Addressing PCI space isn't that different on Amiga that it can't be done..?!

@Deniil

So there is two solutions using the exist AMD GFX chip more, somehow getting UVD working, and cooperating with existing graphic drivers. Or putting a card with a VIA or Broadcom chip on it into another PCIe slot, and use VAAPI.

Quote:

No that is easy; do not know a lot about IRQ and writing interrupt routines. The problem is really, when you have a driver that has to be loaded and unloaded from memory, and when program crashes with lib or device count equal to one or more. the driver is not unloaded, you risk having two drivers trying to talk at same time to the same hardware. not a good idea.

Having to reboot every time you make a change is not efficient way to program or driver.

The problem is not PCIe interface, the problem is that you have some "Linux" a kernel module or some driver or some library that has rewritten, so it work on AmigaOS. And all dependency's that goes with that.

"Elephant in the room"

The real question how big is the elephant?
How much time is needed?
What else has to done?
Can we use existing API's to access graphic card?
How do we test it?
Can we implement part of it, or does every ting need to done at once?

What does etch part of video decoding work?

For example I know about deblocking, what it does but I don't know how it works.

Clearly, there is a lot that has be learned as well.

I am a realist, or some time I am sometimes called a pragmatist. I cannot do anything with think about it, maybe that is a bad thing, or maybe it is a good thing. Yes I some time jump to conclusion and make guesses, but that is only when is no huge risk.

Failure is most defiantly an option.

I think need to go into this with sense of curiosity, not expecting too much and be willingness to spend hours on it.

Sure, it could be done. However, there's a lot of software that needs to be ported/written/updated in order to do so. There's a lot more to using the HW video decoders on the graphics cards than simply feeding it a video bitsream.

The current version of MPlayerNG from Os4depot is the best MPlayer that we can get at moment. On my X1000 i can`t find any bugs, maybe there are some small bugs.
Without full hardware acceleration you can actually improve nothing.
We need UVD and SMP
