Juggie: so my image does do hardware decoding? :)
03:08
<
Juggie >
dgp, seems like it does support libstagefright yep
03:08
<
Juggie >
maybe i will order a device and we can do more testing
03:08
<
Juggie >
only problem is how long it takes to get it
03:08
* dgp
likes it when stuff just works
03:08
<
Juggie >
i'm a developer, but not famaliar w/ android build system
03:09
<
dgp >
It's not too bad. The biggest issue is how long it takes to change anything becuase of the build time
03:09
<
dgp >
but the image is pre-rooted so you can test stuff on the running image and then put it into the build
03:26
<
Juggie >
are you able to test xbmc?
03:26
<
Juggie >
i'm sure you could provide good feedback
03:39
<

I don't have the gk wired up at the moment, I might have a go later

dgp, alive this morning?
14:23
<
dgp >
It's 23:23 here.. I think that counts as night
14:25
<
Juggie >
you in aus?
14:26
<
Juggie >
havnt found anywhere cheaper then $89 for the imx6
14:26
<
Juggie >
hows the GPU? i hear slower then the mali used in almost everything else?
14:27
<
dgp >
Apparently it's slower but the rendering quality is better
14:27
<
Juggie >
you running it @ 1080p?
14:27
<
dgp >
I haven't really tried any games on it yet
14:29
<
Juggie >
@1080p in your rom though the UI is ok?
14:29
<
Juggie >
hows it do for heat?
14:30
<
dgp >
running the antutu 3d benchmark made mine crash in the stock case
14:30
<
dgp >
it was ok for the guy that was testing out xbmc I think though
14:31
<
Juggie >
i'm tempted to order one dispite it being a little underpwoered compared to some other soc's
14:31
<
rm >
Juggie, it is cheaper on Aliexpress
14:32
<
Juggie >
$52 each there if you need 2.
14:32
<
Juggie >
not sure how i feel abuot Tomy Tang (Lucky42012) :P
14:33
<
dgp >
heh, I always laugh at the names they give their stores.. like "GoodLuckBuy"
14:33
<
rm >
and they got you
14:33

( 1 Lot = 2 pcs )
14:33
<
rm >
( 2 pcs = 1pc GK802 + 1pc EA-01 )
14:33
<
dgp >
doesn't make me too sure if I want to order from them
14:33
<
rm >
EA-01 is a remote control
14:34
<
Juggie >
gotta watch it
14:34
<
Juggie >
eg this one
14:34
<
Juggie >
its 2 pieces, but its the gk802+remote=2
14:34
<
Juggie >
not 2xgk802
14:35
<
dgp >
I think the gk802 is worth it for the money really. I don't think you'll find a faster arm linux machine for the money
14:35
<
dgp >
The rockchip stuff is cheaper and has higher clock speeds but getting anything running on their stuff is pain in the ass
14:35
<
Juggie >
what parts are left as closed source for you?
14:36
<
Juggie >
dumb question, whats that do?
14:36
<
dgp >
oh and the freescale binaries. But that stuff is going to be the same story everywhere
14:36
<
dgp >
its to operate the bluetooth
14:36
<
rm >
this seems to be the cheapest legit listing
14:36
<

registerbuyer05 is an $5 coupon
14:36
<
dgp >
I think jas-hacks has a from-source version of hciattach partially working under linux though
14:37
<
Juggie >
all the bt dongles i have pair w/ the keyboard mouse by default if no software is running
14:37
<
Juggie >
so they are always an option
14:38
<
dgp >
I think the BT is meant for a tv remote style controller
14:40
<
dgp >
my image has some support for cheapy chinese touch panels too so you could use it like that too
14:41
<
Juggie >
i would mostly just use xbmc remote, not sure if i'd use the gmail/apps portion etc
14:41
<
dgp >
it hasn't got any of those apps
14:41
<
dgp >
it has the play market, adb wireless and a file explorer app basically
14:45
<
dgp >
I think it's beer vending machine time
14:47
<
Juggie >
via play you can install whatever though?

dgp, do you have miracast working?
14:53
<
Juggie >
that would be a nice bonus but not required.
14:58
<
dgp >
mm do you know how that is implemented on android? if it's built in I can add it to the build config
15:03
<
Juggie >
not sure but i think its JB only.
15:03
<
Juggie >
as a receiver anwyays
15:03
<
Juggie >
its avail on the RK3188 dongles and possibly others
15:03
<
Juggie >
its hdmi over wifi essentially
15:04
<
dgp >
If you can find out how it works I can try to add it. There's a lot of stuff in the android source so I don't know what all of it is :)
15:04
<
Juggie >
It looks like in the RK3188 roms, its an app
15:05
<
dgp >
it looks like it uses wifi p2p
15:06
<
dgp >
according to wikipedia it's part of android 4.2
15:08
<
Juggie >
scroll down about half way
15:08
<
Juggie >
thats what i've seen
15:09
<
Juggie >
looks like a chinese vendor app for sure :P
15:09
<
dgp >
whoever makes those firmwares need to employ some UI guys
15:09
<
dgp >
It's probably built on top of the android stuff though. The RK settings app is just an alternative but crap looking settings panel for example
15:10
<
dgp >
does the same thing as the built in one
15:10
<
Juggie >
so you'd need to get 4.2 working
15:10
<
dgp >
That shouldn't be too hard
15:16
<
Juggie >
what roadblocks were left?
15:17
<
dgp >
well, I only really got 4.1.2 working because we needed a custom android build..
15:17
<
dgp >
If someone wants to pay me to get 4.2.2 I can do it but I don't have much free time
15:17
<
Juggie >
just post it on github
15:17
<
Juggie >
and someone will fork it and pull in 4.2.2 :)
15:18
<
dgp >
the source for android is massive though, it really needs to be split back up to make in managable
15:18
<
dgp >
If I push the 4gb lump to github no one will ever want to check the repo out
15:20
<
Juggie >
yeah, you want to commit your vendor changes only really
15:21
<
dgp >
freescale ship it as a bunch of patches. That's not great either
15:22
<
Juggie >
yeah it needs to be split up to be manageable

15:22
<
Juggie >
Strswrd, did you do anymore xbmc testing?
15:24
<
dgp >
I wouldn't be surprised if xbmc is using stagefrights software h264 decoder
15:25
<
Juggie >
i dont think it does
15:25
<
Juggie >
its hardware or falls back to internal to xbmc decoder
15:26
<
dgp >
in the libs directory there are files like libstagefright_soft_h264 etc
15:26
<
dgp >
there is a libstagefrighthw.so though, so it might work
15:28
<
Strswrd >
Hi didn't had time to check more last night..
15:29
<
Juggie >
dgp, it is working per Strswrd
15:29
<
Juggie >
though i dont know how well
15:29
<
Juggie >
are you compiling those yourself? or are they precompiled libs you are using
15:29
<
dgp >
Juggie: it just says it's using stagefright though right? instead of using the ffmpeg decoder
15:30
<
Juggie >
it says stf-h264
15:30
<
dgp >
libstagefrighthw.so seems to usually be a vendor blob but I can't find one in the freescale stuff
15:30
<
Strswrd >
just fired up xbmc and a movie... what can I check (and how) for you guys
15:30
<
Juggie >
its coming from somewhere ;)
15:30
<
dgp >
it's possible that is built from source
15:30
<
Juggie >
Strswrd, pick a movie, press o
15:30
<
Juggie >
see how its playing, any cpu usuage, what the fps is
15:31
<
dgp >
AOSP ships with a bunch of dummy libs that vendors fill out..
15:31
<
dgp >
for stuff like cameras etc
15:31
<
Juggie >
dgp, cleaning up the source to make it postable to github, properly forked and maintainable would be awesome
15:32
<
dgp >
yeah, I have 2 other little random boards on my desk to bring up before I have time to do that though :(
15:32
<
Juggie >
once people start sharing your rom they will just keep asking :)
15:32
<
dgp >
If we could get all of the people wasting time hacking up rockchip images to contribute we would have a really awesome android port :)
15:33
<
Strswrd >
top is saying 18% cpu for xbmc and a 720 h264 which is using dc:stf-264
15:33
<
dgp >
that doesn't sound too bad to me
15:33
<
Juggie >
Strswrd, try birds 1080p
15:33
<
Juggie >
from that link
15:33
<

if anything is gonna crush the hardware decoder
15:33
<

that will be the one :)

wonders if the SD card is going to be a bottle neck
15:34
<
Juggie >
still only 5mb/s
15:34

any sd card can read at that speed
15:35
<
dgp >
true. I sort of imagined there would be a lot more data than that
15:35
<
dgp >
but that's the point of h264 .. less data :)
15:36

downloading..

this is a logcat extract for the file "monsters".. video was choppy:

it seems to be doing the right things though
16:17
<

Strswrd, could you report it on the xbmc lib stagefright thread?
16:18
<
Juggie >
and dgp if you can pop over there as well
16:18
<
Juggie >
you may be able to help :)
16:18

I might have a look tomorrow. Need to get some sleep
16:18
<

Strswrd, those videos are encoded @ HP 4.1
16:18
<
Juggie >
they should be fine
16:19
<
Juggie >
Strswrd, give the same videos a try in mxplayer
16:19
<
Juggie >
(from android market)
16:19
<
Juggie >
should work there
16:19
<
dgp >
Juggie: oh ok, I thought you said the birds one was a problematic one
16:19
<
Juggie >
dgp, its not problematic in terms of how its encoded
16:19
<
Juggie >
its just high bitrate
16:19
<
Juggie >
if its the video i'm thinking of its from Planet Earth
16:20
<
Juggie >
i've seen it slow down a software decoder on a core 2 duo :)
16:20
<
dgp >
the log says that it can't allocate a buffer or something
16:21
<
dgp >
I could try replacing some of the blobs with the newer 4.2.2 versions. Not sure if that would totally break it
16:21
<
Juggie >
not sure... its very high bit rate
16:21
<
Strswrd >
birds played in mxplayer... choppy though
16:22
<
Juggie >
how about monsters?
16:22
<
Juggie >
40mbps is the max for bluray
16:22
<
Juggie >
so birds is running @ max
16:22
<
Juggie >
you will not commonly find that ;)
16:23
<
Strswrd >
no issues with monsters in mxplayer
16:23
<
Juggie >
so why the chop in monsters in xbmc
16:23
<
Juggie >
cant be sdcard
16:23
<
Juggie >
played fine in mx
16:24
<
dgp >
I think you could get a gk802 ordered so you and fiddle with it ;)
16:25
<
Juggie >
well i'm far from a rom developers its uselesss to me if the firmware sucks
16:29
<
Strswrd >
logcat - birds - mxplayer:
16:32
<
Juggie >
Strswrd, did you set mxplayer to hardware mode?
16:32
<
Juggie >
i think it has 2 hardware modes
16:32
<
Juggie >
you can choose frmo
16:32
<
Juggie >
try both specifically try birds in both
16:32
<
Juggie >
and btw, posting all ur findings to xbmc thread would be awesome
16:34
<
Strswrd >
ok.. but since very few have access to an gk802 with dgp's image.. how could they help?
16:35
<
Juggie >
not sure at this point but it would be nice to know where the issues are be it in android fw, xbmc etc
16:42
<
Strswrd >
hmm for birds, mxplayer says: "cannot play this video with H/W decoder" when I select it on the top right corner... same thing for H/W+. Its only S/W that sort of works with choppy playback. H/W and H/W+ works for the monsters file.
