00:02.42siriusnovahi anyone have problems with opie-mediaplayer2 pausing and starting constantly on their zaurus?
00:03.08siriusnovaim using OZ 3.5.4 and trying to play a shoutcast stream, it eventually times out with demux plugin not found although i have all of them installed
00:03.37siriusnovaalso mplayer is broken
00:04.02TuomasTI never got opie-mediaplayer2 to work with OZ 3.5.2. Just trying out OZ 3.5.4, I'l try to install it.
00:04.13TuomasTMplayer fails with libmad0 here
00:04.17siriusnovayes
00:04.19siriusnovasame thing
00:04.25siriusnovait fails with libmad0
00:04.29TuomasTApparently it works only with 2.6.X kernels (from a forum)
00:04.42TuomasTPerhaps use mplayer ipk from 3.5.2 or 3.5.3
00:04.48siriusnovaall i want to do is play a shoutcast stream, its been impossible so far using Opiz/OZ
00:04.51siriusnovalol
00:05.06siriusnovaxmms crashes, opie-player2 doesnt work
00:05.08siriusnova:/
00:05.13TuomasTxmms-embedded works great here
00:05.20siriusnovafor shoutcast streams?
00:05.25siriusnovait crashes when i load a pls
00:05.43TuomasTAh, that I can't say. Give a link to .pls and I will try

00:06.28siriusnovatry this one http://shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=45&file=filename.pls
00:06.36siriusnovaor any from shoutcast actually
00:08.56TuomasTWell loading the playlist as file did nothing and I currently have network on the Z only through proxy so I can't try the "URL" button.
00:09.12TuomasTI'l try to install mplayer from older feed.

00:10.32TuomasTThere isn't any GUI for mplayer for Opie as far as I know though.
00:10.48siriusnovathats fine
00:11.03siriusnovaas long as it can play stuff
00:11.55TuomasThttp://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/mirror/www.openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/feed/opie/mplayer_1.0pre6a-r0_arm.ipk
00:12.01TuomasTThere, install that, it works.
00:12.06siriusnovaokay cool!
00:12.07siriusnovathanks
00:14.03siriusnovai need to figure out how to compile stuff for my z so im not stuck with feeds :(
00:14.24siriusnovadamn i need libpostproc0
00:14.54TuomasTThe 3.5.4 feeds installed that and other packages for me automatically with that ^ .ipk
00:15.07siriusnovahrmm
00:15.16TuomasTMake sure you are up to date. "ipkg update" & "ipkg install "xxx.ipk"
00:16.00siriusnovaheh
00:18.17siriusnovauhh
00:18.21siriusnovahow do i get it to play the pls?
00:18.30TuomasTmplayer -playlist file.pls

00:19.00siriusnovaim getting popping noises
00:19.00siriusnova:/
00:19.21TuomasTWorked fine for me. Z 5500 Collie.
00:20.07SpudULikeI am still worried about doing a NAND flash restore from SD card.  I have a C760 with Cacko and want to move to OZ.  Do I need to do the Nand restore and can I do it from an SD card?
00:23.46siriusnovaTuomasT - what all did mplayer install?

00:46.09siriusnovahowdy
00:46.20siriusnovaim remaking my root image on my SD card
00:46.27siriusnovahopefully i can get mplayer to work now
00:46.47siriusnovaand hopefully the root image will actually work this time
00:46.48siriusnovalol
00:48.43TuomasTI suggest to you altboot and root images. What Z do you have?
00:49.27siriusnova5500
00:49.39*** join/#openzaurus Timelord (n=TL@68-191-189-54.static.fdul.wi.charter.com)
00:51.52TuomasTDo this: First flash bootstrap-image-3.5.4-collie.initrd.bin in there with 64-0. Then put opie-image-3.5.4-collie.rootfs.ext2 in the SD card at /boot-images/opie-image-3.5.4-collie-rootfs.bin . Now you should be able to select the ext2 image when Z loads.
00:52.10TuomasTYou probably already have a 3.5.4 installed in there so you can skip first step..
00:52.16siriusnovayeah
00:53.25TuomasTAnyway that's what I did, except that I have gpe-image instead of bootstrap image as the one installed in the Z small internal storage.
00:53.45TuomasTYou can also put both OPIE and GPE in there, and you get to choose which one to boot.
00:54.52siriusnovawhy bootstrap ?
00:55.00siriusnovainstead of opie
00:55.49TuomasTBecause it should take less space. If you boot from image, you will Never use the one installed in the Z storage for anything except booting..
00:55.57siriusnovahrmm k
00:56.57TuomasTBut don't bother to flash if you already have 3.5.4 in there..
00:57.24siriusnovawell how much if i reflash bootstrap
00:57.27siriusnovawhat difference do i get?
00:57.33TuomasTDon't ask me :-)
00:57.34siriusnovacurrently its flashed to opie-image
00:57.36siriusnovalol
00:57.45TuomasTThat's just what I would do if I'd do it from the beginning.
00:59.40TuomasTWell actually now that I think about it, you can re-flash anytime with any of the images.
00:59.49siriusnovaill reflash to bootstrap
00:59.51TuomasTAnd still be able to boot from the image in the SD
01:00.01siriusnovaas i have had problems with the opie-image
01:00.05siriusnovatyeah
01:00.06siriusnova*yeah
01:00.17siriusnovaTuomasT -  do you mind reposting that mplayer link?
01:01.09TuomasTYou will find it in the official feeds at 3.5.3 and opie section
01:05.12siriusnovaKonqueror embedded sucks thoug
01:05.14siriusnova*though
01:05.22siriusnovaits an old version, i miss opera :(
01:06.54TuomasTIt can be installed with OZ
01:07.03siriusnovait doesnt work TuomasT - i tried
01:07.15siriusnovai tried the link on the oz forums and it crashed
01:07.28TuomasTI've tried it and it did work atleast with 3.5.2. As did Sharp's java
01:07.49siriusnovaif you get it to work with 3.5.4 do let me know
01:08.01siriusnovai would love to have opera working on OZ
01:08.14TuomasTI don't have use for browser so.. you can google for a solution. You need to ipkg install compat-libraries
01:08.26siriusnovahrmm
01:08.40TuomasT~compat-libraries , I don't remember the exact name
01:12.29siriusnovadangit
01:12.33siriusnovait doesnt work for me Tuomas
01:12.35siriusnovamplayer
01:12.45siriusnovai get popping noises with mplayer -playlist shoutcast.pls
01:13.10TuomasTPerhaps you are using different .pls than you gave me?
01:13.19siriusnovawhich one are you using?
01:13.44TuomasThttp://shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=45&file=filename.pls
01:14.40TuomasTYou might also try 'xmms-embedded' and see if the sound is allright. Z seems to have pretty good quality headphone output.
01:14.50siriusnovaTuomasT - you mind if i send you mplayer output in priv chat so you can see what the difference is
01:15.02siriusnovawhen  you run mplayer and I run mplayer
01:15.26TuomasTok
01:16.45siriusnovasent
01:17.09TuomasTYours is using mp3lib, mine is using libmad
01:17.47siriusnovahrmm
01:17.53siriusnovahow do i get it to use libmad?
01:18.07TuomasTOtherwise seems the same
01:18.40TuomasTWell, try to install it, perhaps it'l use it automatically
01:19.11siriusnovait is installed
01:19.56TuomasTThen you could also find and delete the mp3lib
01:19.59siriusnovathere
01:20.00siriusnovait works now
01:20.03siriusnovaYAY :D
01:20.07siriusnovaawesome
01:20.09siriusnovaim so happy :P
01:20.16TuomasTSo what did you do?

05:33.01siriusnovaanyone know how to increase the # of consoles in OZ/opie from 3 to 4
05:33.14Kevin`etc/inittab
05:33.16Kevin`as any distro :)
05:33.24siriusnovaahh k
05:33.26siriusnovai forgot
05:33.27siriusnova;)
05:33.41siriusnovahow many are enabled by default 3?
05:33.51Kevin`iono, I changed it fairly quickly
05:33.54siriusnovaand the opie menu shows me 9, anyway to disable the extra ones?
05:33.56Kevin`so it must have been few
05:34.18Kevin`what opie menu.. I use gpe
05:34.36siriusnovawell using the launcher you can select a console to go down to
05:34.39siriusnovaand it has 1-9
05:35.00siriusnovayet only 3 are available so what happens is that if you select #4 and above it shows you a blank screen
05:35.12Kevin`could just be launchers that do 'chvt 1', 'chvt 2', etc
05:35.14siriusnovaand since you cant type anything you cant type chvt
05:35.23Kevin`though I don't know where they would be listed
05:35.25siriusnovatrue but how do i edit them?
05:35.33siriusnovaso they only show the ones i need
05:35.35siriusnovaand not all 9
05:35.39Kevin`siriusnova function+left
05:35.40Kevin`and right
05:35.43Kevin`to switch vt
05:35.48siriusnovadoesnt work
05:35.50siriusnovai tried
05:36.00Kevin`well it should, heh

10:04.02hrw|workfoka: thats more work
10:07.27fokahrw|work: Hehe.  I already fetched the repository with Monotone.  Should I look at "bitbake linux" next?  Or do I need to look at u-boot or altboot also?  Is the kernel logo somewhere in there too?  :-)

15:41.37hrw|workbut if mplayer does not like that rtc then we cannot change it
15:42.46a7m2there is  /dev/rtc -> rtc0
15:43.37ufozis it possible to JustinP yupp, sorry was afk. no the question is, is it possible to change the rotation to the other side
15:44.24ufozor/and if it is possible to start that in a script
15:44.32fluxhello :)

21:35.14hvontres|poodlehey siriusnova. How's your Z doing?
21:35.18siriusnovaits doing good
21:35.20siriusnovaits awesome
21:35.27siriusnovajust needs more battery life

21:37.12hvontres|poodleflakey isp?
21:37.23hvontres|poodleI think there were some articles on the forum about higher capacity replacements
21:37.23siriusnovaflakey next door neighbor's wifi :P
21:37.54hvontres|poodleheh... I remember that... Now I have DSL... not quite as fast, but always there :)
21:37.56siriusnovayeah i saw them, i have an AA battery pack that uses 4 NIMH AAs but it doesnt last very long
21:38.51siriusnovai think its because the wifi card draws too much power
21:38.55siriusnovaor it could be a flakey battery pack
21:39.20hvontres|poodleahh, wifi == short battery life :)
21:39.58siriusnovayes
21:40.03siriusnovabut without a wifi card its useless
21:40.20siriusnovai mean i already have a palm pda for a pda
21:40.25siriusnovai use my z for "fun" stuff
21:40.44siriusnovastuff like kismet :P
21:40.58hvontres|poodlehmmm, but I think there were some replacements for the main battery that had ~double the capacity of the sharp ones.
21:41.44hvontres|poodleand there is always the "wall bug" :) (sort of deeats the purpose of having a "Personal Mobile Toy" tho...)
21:42.03siriusnovaheh
21:42.08siriusnovaill make myself a battery pack
21:42.25siriusnovabut its odd though as the battery pack i currently have doesnt seem to charge the pda that much
21:42.29siriusnovaand it lasts like 1 hour tops
21:42.35hvontres|poodlejust make sure you get the polarity right.
21:42.58hvontres|poodlewell, the charging circuit needs ~5V iirc, and you are only giving it 4.8
21:43.52siriusnovahrmm k
21:43.56JustinPI use a Li-ion battery pack which definately gives 5V
21:43.58*** join/#openzaurus SpudULike (n=Colin@ql4ever.demon.co.uk)
21:44.00JustinP(and 2 other voltages)
21:44.03JustinPworks very well
21:44.04siriusnovaJustinP - which one?
21:44.14siriusnovaor did you make it?
21:44.23siriusnovaid be happy with an external pack
21:44.24JustinPhttp://www.bixnet.com/hicamiexbapa.html
21:44.36hobbsJustinP: of course it's doing that off of a boost convertor that's bringing it up from about 3.6-4.2 V
21:44.41hobbsJustinP: and has only a certain efficiency ;)
21:44.47siriusnovahow long does it last?
21:44.51hobbs(either that or it's bucking down from twice as much)
21:44.52JustinPhobbs: of course, but it still works very well :-)
21:45.01JustinPalso useful for powering a USB hub or USB HD
21:45.21JustinPsiriusnova: eh....I haven't really timed it. It's rated at 22Wh
21:45.21siriusnovaJustinP - how long does your 5500 last using the pack?
21:45.24siriusnovahrmm
21:45.26JustinPC3000
21:45.47JustinPI use it to recharge my Z during the day sometimes
21:45.58JustinPalso for powering while on wifi if I don't want to drain the battery
21:46.06JustinP(Z battery that is)
21:46.11hobbsJustinP: in any case, yeah, 22Wh isn't bad
21:46.29siriusnovahrmm
21:46.53hobbsJustinP: how heavy does it feel, carrying it around?
21:47.11JustinPI had one problem with it at one point after I overdrew it (plugged it into a laptop) but it was just some solder that had broken. Fixed up the joint and was good as new.
21:48.06JustinPit basically has 4AA Li-ion cells in it
21:48.12JustinPnot too heavy
21:48.22JustinPabout half the weight of my C3000, perhaps a little less
21:48.28JustinPless
21:48.30JustinP1/3 maybe
21:48.38JustinPnot that that helps you guys probably ;-)
21:48.54JustinPI really need to put up my list of preferred Z devices somewhere ;-)
21:49.36JustinPit also comes with a handy belt holster
21:49.44JustinPwhich I forgot about while getting in the car and broke...
21:49.48siriusnovahmm
21:49.54JustinPworked very nicely before that, though ;-)
21:51.00JustinPthis other one on their site might be easier to use with a Z as it's flatter: http://www.bixnet.com/5v7libapa.html
21:51.08JustinPmore Wh as well
21:51.12JustinPbut only 5V
21:51.19JustinP(which is ok for Z + USB)
21:51.33hobbsshiny
21:51.40siriusnovahmm
21:51.49JustinPhmmm...also 7.4V output
21:51.56JustinPso only 1 voltage down from the PM85
