 I know that some drivers cut off some seconds of mp3 audio 

Which drivers are doing this.... ???

[betacentauri]

It's long time ago. A user reported it and I could reproduce it with, I think, my et9200. Don't know exactly whether it was for all mp3s or only a few. I will ask the user whether problem still occurs.

[Erik Slagter]

Yes, I think that is the best approach, first check if it still happens. I rely on you guys, I never play mp3's myself...

[christophecvr]

So no problem for openpli at all to drop software decoding support since none of the current boxes/images will be affected.

Ter info Vuduo2 uses software decoding with gst-0.1 .

 

For windows media created with mediaplayer higher then 8.0 (and best quality) Software decoding required.

[MiLo]

more sensible thing to do would be to integrate the software decoding part into E2 and drop the merlin hack.

[betacentauri]

The software decoding in merlin is only used for mp3 files. And I guess all VU+ can playback mp3 files with hardwaredecoder. If not, then dvbaudiosink should be compiled with "--with-mp3=no" for VU boxes. Then gstreamer decodes mp3 data in the software.

There is no such an option in dreambox dvbmediasink. Why VU+ doesn't switch to OpenPLi one? I don't get it.

[betacentauri]

Yes, you're right
But what stands in /proc/stb/info/model on VU boxes?
I hope not DM7025, because all other boxes use sink_factory_broadcom_dts which says that it can decode audio/mpeg without limitation to layer 1,2.

[Pedro_Newbie]

For the solo2 the answer is on /proc/stb/info/model: dm8000

[Rob van der Does]

root@Solo2:~# cat /proc/stb/info/model
dm8000

root@DUO2:~# ca /proc/stb/info/model
dm8000

root@Ultimo:~# cat /proc/stb/info/model

Ok, thanks. So the hardware decoder of VU+ boxes should be able to playback mp3 files.

I'll post patch in the next days...

I, it was well a year ago , tried to build with pli dvbmediasink for vuduo2. Media did not played att all anymore. Some channels did not had audio. and .... It tried with the standard gst-0.1 but also with gst1.0 . Same issues. Did not run ok on vuduo2. Why I could not find out.

0001-riff-media-added-fourcc-to-all-mpeg4-video-caps.patch - supply patch for build environment!
gst10_as_gst010_base.patch - applied
gst10_as_gst010_divx4_fix.patch - applied

Thanks,
In master branch of openpli-oe-core, there are no gstreamer1.0 recipes and gst-1.0 branch was not updated since 2013. I'm using recipes uploaded here by @athoik (post #282).

 

Then we need to take care of this when the switch has been made, I guess.

 

I was trying to put it together, but the problem is with vuplus and dream which are using their own dvbmediasink which requires gstreamer0.10, so we cannot enable gstreamer1.0 for these yet.

We can enable gstreamer1.0 for others, but we would have to make sure that enigma2 is build with gstreamer0.10 support for vuplus and dream.

I spoke with the guy. He tested again soft- and hardware decoding on et8000 and cutting of several milliseconds of audio happens in both cases.
Another dev contacted me and said that the problem is there on many boxes from different manufacturers (so most likely no drivers issue) and it's also present when you use other media files. He also said that it is depending on used playback plugin. So more likely a gstreamer/E2 issue somewhere in the code.

So I think we can remove the C++ lib. Attached is the patch. I have only tested plugin functionality and not if build works afterwards. But I checked twice. I hope I have not overlooked something...

I thought at this time VU+ does not provide suitable drivers for Gstreamer 1.44?!?

[Erik Slagter]

How did you enable gstreamer1 on your VU+?

 

The drivers is not the problem. The problem is dat VU+ provides their BSP to us, which makes the build process use the dvbmediasink (which is needed for gstreamer) from DMM, instead of the one we supply, and which is suited for use with gstreamer1.

[addybo]

i just use the normale dvbmediasink
