Hi

 

Why my DM500HD (openpli 3) is playing wmv-files and my VU+ Solo2 (Openpli 4) is not, is this format dropped out?

 

Thanks in advance,

Proximus

Hi,

Solo2 does not play (yet) WMV as the drivers are not allowing it up to now.

Hi

 

Does anyone have idea when this feature will be available?

Often it's a matter of license. I'm pretty sure that if VU+ had a license for it, the drivers would support it (as it's an argument to sell).

In other words, it's not something OpenPLi is to decide, the manufacturer decides what codecs are supported (drivers).

Maybe something is cooking at VU+: http://code.vuplus.c...4b316164ed23c4d

 

Hi Pedro,

it seems so but they are cooking at low temperature:-)

Maybe the fire of the stove blew out, not much happening over there (as far as I can see)

Hi,

let´s hope it will be a Christmas present:-)

Even two weeks before Christmas......

update driver
20131212
- Support more video codecs in media playback.(OE 2.1 gstreamer)
- Reduce First picture display time(zapping time improvement : duo2, solo2)
- Support dual transcoding(duo2, Only 2nd transcoding is mutually exclusive with PIP)
- Improve PCM playback(solo, duo, uno, ulitmo)
- Support 3D surround (solo, duo, solo2, duo2)
- Support AVL(automatic volume leveler)(duo2, solo2)
- Support more proc entries to control duo2 transcoding.(Plugin will follow)
- Improve temperature control of dual tuner when not in use(duo2, uno, ultimo)
- FPGA update in solo2(done automatically in the first bootup after installation)
- Fix EOS deteciton in media(PCM) & TS playback
- Support AAC passthrough
- Remove unnecessary debug messages(duo2)

Someone has been busy lately

wmv is not mentioned in the changelog?

What about:

 - FPGA update in solo2(done automatically in the first bootup after installation)

 

Is this only in the original image?

How do we do this in Openpli 4?

Can we copy just the drivers and test or is there more to it?

As the log says: automatically.
I wondered myself, so I copied the drivers to the box rebooted and...... indeed, after reboot the FPGA was upgraded all by itself.
So this is quite a userfriendly way to update.

I am afraid this will bloat the drivers considerately. I hope at some time new drivers will get released without the FPGA update. OTOH maybe it's just a small piece of code.

it doesn't matter, before last the fpga firmware code was inside the fpga_directc.ko, now it's inside the dvb-bcm7356.ko, so pound for pound the outcome is the same

 

the funny thing from this version is the clone protection function ( brcm_fpga_timebomb() and brcm_fpga_secu_random_timebomb() )

 

guess what that does

Where do you read that?

perhaps with a hex editor.

 

btw. the first test in another board showed that WMV was working for at least one file.
