I guess you never watch mpeg4-vc ("divx", "xvid", etc). Which is mighty good

[addybo]

as i said, i tested only mp3, flac and streaming via mediaportal, 

can you upload exaple files, i will test it

[Erik Slagter]

I guess it's not that difficult to come by some "divx" files

[Erik Slagter]

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.

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...

Applied, thanks!

gstreamer1.0 patches for openpli-oe-core:

 

1. patch - adds gstreamer1.4.5 recipes from https://github.com/o...mbedded/oe-core

2. patch - updates gst-plugins-package.inc from oe-core, which is now shared between both gstreamer versions + fix for gstreamer0.10

3. patch - adds all neccessary patches for gstreamer1.4.% plugins from this thread

4. patch - adds gstreamer1.0 dvbmediasink and subsink recipes created by athoik

5. patch - adds gstreamer1.0 support in enigma2 recipe

 

Now its possible to build enigma2 with gstreamer1.0 by setting GST_VERSION variable and correct dvbmediasink, if GST_VERSION is not set then enigma2 with gstreamer0.10 will be builded

For example to enable gstreamer1.0 for some ET models:

diff --git a/conf/machine/include/et.inc b/conf/machine/include/et.inc
index b4d5c81..f563128 100644

 TARGET_ARCH = "mipsel"

Notes:

5.patch is based on enigma2.bbappend for gstreamer1.0 created by athoik:

- ommited bsod_segsev.patch - not needed

- ca-certificates not added- shouldn't be neccessary, since ssl-strict option is turned off

 

- librtmp patch not added

 

Hopefully I didn't miss something, please check.

 

What do you think? Is this approach correct?

Now, we don't have to wait until vu+dvbmediasink is updated to support gstreamer1.0 version. We can enable gstreamer1.0 for all models which used gst-plugin-dvbmediasink.

I sufggest erik should verify this one....

[MastaG]

So with the exception of VU, all other receivers use the gst-plugin-dvbmediasink and should be able to use gstreamer 1.x?

Meaning one would be able to play chunked multi-bitrate HLS streams on a dm800se or Xtrend receiver?

[mx3L]

dm800se is using gst-plugin-dreambox-dvbmediasink and not gst-plugin-dvbmediasink so only 0.10 version.

Yes HLS is working flawlessly. Multi-bitrate HLS is not so good in my experience. It's changing qualities all the time. Better to select quality, then there are no issues.

[Erik Slagter]

I will have a look in a few days. Thx.

[MastaG]

@mx3L, thanks for your feedback.

However the folks over at OpenATV have gstreamer 1.4.4 working on the dm800se, did they manage to switch away from the gst-plugin-dreambox-dvbmediasink?

If yes, shouldn't PLi do the same?

[betacentauri]

Are you sure? I didn't speak with them the last days, but I think that they still use dreambox dvbmediasink which is currently not adapted. There were images for all boxes but because of the issues build for dreams and vu were stopped.

[MastaG]

I see, well let's hope those will be supported as well in the future.

[Erik Slagter]

Sorry for the delay.

 

What I am going to do is create a branch gst-1 and apply the patches there. That gives us the opportunity to thouroughly test everything, because it also affects "normal" (pre-gst-1) code.

[Erik Slagter]

Please note that anything you change in the bsp overlays (for MACHINE_FEATUREs etc.) can only be applied locally (on your own server). It cannot be pushed to sourceforge because they're modules we attach from vendors (submodules) and the vendors need to make the changes there. I will report which patches can't be applied because of this.

gst-1 branch pushed.

 

Volunteers to test? My server is quite busy with some other tasks at the moment. I may try later.

What is the meaning of the word "Berichten". I want to translate it to English. I saw it after I press Delete (In timer menu)

Thanks,

I built images for et4x00 with gstreamer1.0 and gstreamer0.10, tried media playback on my test files and there were no issues.

[littlesat]

Thanks for the feedback!
Feedback is important to make it master....

Is it an option to let the openpli buildserver build a set of gst1.x images for each box so more users can give feedback?
