IRC log of #maemo for Saturday, 2009-07-04

derfmavhc: I don't even think you're listening.00:00
JaffaYouTube's going to use <video>, but only with H264 as - apparently - Theora's not good enough quality at a given bitrate.00:00
GeneralAntillesderf, a common practice in this channel.00:00
* RST38h cringes every time he sees Theora mentioned00:01
*** lbt has quit IRC00:01
RST38hIs this BBC article related to the topic in any way: "Shoppers Burnt By Giant Chrome Balls" ? =)00:02
mavhcoh, you're on about java00:02
*** lbt has joined #maemo00:02
*** tank-man has joined #maemo00:02
mavhcis that just audio or video too?00:02
derfRST38h: Considering someone is usually saying something inaccurate or misleading, I often do, too.00:02
derfFor example, Jaffa about YouTube.00:03

Jaffaderf: In what way was what I said inaccurate or misleading?00:08
RST38hFolks, it looks weird when you argue about some stupid Youtube media player00:08
Jaffaderf: http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-June/020620.html00:08
RST38hBelieve me it DOES NOT MATTER how Youtube plays videos.00:09
derfJaffa: a) Chris DiBona talking out of his ass is not an official position of Google (they have not made an official position, publicly, about what they will or won't do) and b) http://people.xiph.org/~greg/video/ytcompare/comparison.html00:09
mavhchttp://www.youtube.com/html500:09
Jaffa"Google [...] have indicated a belief that Ogg Theora's quality-per-bit is not yet suitable for the volume handled by YouTube"00:10
derfYes. I belive that statement is inaccurate also, and it is unfortunate that it is in the current draft.00:10
*** halves has quit IRC00:11
mavhcdoes this xiph ogg4quicktime thing make safari support ogg?00:11
ShadowJKThat's a pretty damning condemnation from google, considering google is currently using one of the worst h264 encoders in existence :-)00:11
RST38hQuicktime. Puke.00:11
RST38hShadowJK: Well, the have got lowest bitrates :)00:12
derfmavhc: Yes.00:12
Jaffaderf: I don't care one jot whether Theora is a good codec or not. So whether the technical accuracy is there or not, there have been indications from Google - and the current /html5 posted by mavhc also does this - that they aren't going to use Ogg on YouTube's <video> tags due to bandwidth concerns.00:12
Luke-Jrlol00:12
RST38hShadowJK: At which Theora probably sucks royally00:12
JaffaGoogle have bandwidth concerns about Theora. This is accurate. Whether or not they are right to do so has no bearing on me being "inaccurate or misleading".00:12
mavhcalso they don't want to reencode 18 billion hours of video again, with a slow encoder00:13
ShadowJKRST38h, yes well, you can make any codec look good by tweaking an encoder for higher bitrates and using extreme bitrates :-)00:13
RST38hOk, found info on Firefox 3.5 codecs. FireFox only supports OGG00:13
mavhcyoutube/html5 doesn't work in chrome 200:13
ShadowJKThe crappy h264 encoder they use is probably blazing fast, yeah00:13
*** johnsq has quit IRC00:13
derfJaffa: You may wish to keep reading further in that thread, specifically to http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-July/020701.html00:14
RST38hShadowJK: I personally do not see the point in YouTube videos00:14
RST38hShadowJK: So whatever their quality is, I am unlikely to watch them00:15
derfAnd I'm not accusing _you_ of intentionally deceiving people. You're simply repeating what has been said elsewhere. That doesn't make it more accurate or less misleading.00:15
ShadowJKI personally don't see the point in putting all this in the browser anyway :-)00:15
mavhcbrowser should be text only, images handled by image viewer00:15
mavhclike in the good old days00:15
ShadowJKwhere by browser I mean html or through plugins..00:15
derfJust like I don't think cdibona talking out of his ass was malicious. It's just what he does.00:15
ShadowJKCertainly on N8x0 you're better off using image viewer :-)00:16
RST38hShadowJK: Sure about it? =)00:16
ShadowJKThe browser consumes huge amounts of ram to display an image00:16
RST38hShadowJKL N8x0 image viewer can be easily crashed by a normally sized image from a modern digicam00:16
*** KurtKraut has joined #maemo00:16
derfmavhc: There's a page somewhere that demos Ogg support in lynx.00:16
mavhckeep them as jpeg in ram, decompress on the fly00:16
ShadowJKI've never seen it crash00:17
ShadowJKeven with large images00:17
RST38hShadowJK: Have swap enabled?00:17
ShadowJKyep00:17
RST38hThat's why.00:17
ShadowJKwell it doesn't crash, it runs out of memory :-)00:17
ShadowJKbut the browser consumes even more for the same task00:17
ShadowJKdunno how quiver is on memory consumption, but atleast it doesn't stall on IO/CPU constantly :-)00:18
*** uzzed has quit IRC00:18
* RST38h recently found 5 copies of browserd happily hanging in memory00:18
ShadowJKIt's nice, it thumbnails the directory in the background when you're looking at a picture, when you tap next picture it scales up a thumbnail, then it seems to load the full picture and do a low-quality scaling of it, then it does high quality scale00:19
RST38hMaybe I should just stop trying to use MicroB... I quit on Modest and it felt good. Getting rid of MicroB should feel even better00:19
ShadowJKthe picture emerges fast, and then the quality is refined00:19
RST38hShould try quiver...00:19
*** romullo has quit IRC00:19
*** secureendpoints has quit IRC00:19
ShadowJKWell Tear is fast, except it doesn't work on some pages, and it eats more memory than browserd00:20
ShadowJKit's just more.. gradual about memory use00:20
derfRST38h: Wait, you _started_ using modest?00:20
mavhcI just want an easy way to install apps to mmc00:20
*** alehorst has quit IRC00:20
RST38hShadow: As long as I can kill it, it is fine00:20
mavhcwhat do you use instead of modest?00:20
ShadowJKwhereas browserd might suddenly decide it needs 20 meg more, and then releases it after rummaging through it awhile00:20
RST38hderf: Well I have been trying for a long while, even filed bugs00:20
*** EdLin has quit IRC00:20
RST38hderf: That was probably stupid of me :(00:20
RST38hmavhc: Claws00:20
derfI tried claws. It uses too much memory.00:21
RST38hderf: it is ok.00:21
derfIt was okay until it tried to check for new mail. Then it just started swapping forever.00:21
mavhcI only use modest to alert me to new mail and sometimes read new mail00:21
RST38hderf: you probably got lots of email :)00:21
mavhcwith gmail imap00:21
derfRST38h: A little bit, yeah.00:21
RST38hmavhc: it does not do even THAT for me00:21
ShadowJKI don't use any email on cellphone or tablet... or on any computer but my home computer :/00:22
ShadowJKMy email setup isn't very well suited for it :\00:22
*** romullo has joined #maemo00:22
RST38hmavhc: unstable wifi connection often puts it into some weird hung state00:22
derfAnyway, I just use webmail.00:22
*** Luke-Jr has quit IRC00:22
* RST38h uses SSH00:22
derfSlow, cumbersome, but it works, which is more than I can say for the alternatives.00:22
RST38h+ PINE00:22
*** Luke-Jr has joined #Maemo00:23

mavhcso safari just sends <video> to quicktime, but other browsers don't use OS video codecs, directshow etc?00:33
mavhcwhat about safari on windows without quicktime?00:33
derfSafari does not "just" send <video> to Quicktime. It actively disables large portions of Quicktime for security reasons.00:33
ShadowJKIE would probably use OS codecs00:34
mavhcpity it doesn't do that for everyone00:34
ShadowJKfirefox and chrome probably don't have that luxury00:34
derfRight. Because IE wants to make sure your box is rooted.00:35
mavhcwhat's the linux version of directshow?00:35
derfgstreamer00:36
ShadowJKThere is none00:36
ShadowJKon windows about the only thing that doesn't use OS codecs is vlc..00:36

usicowI log into my n810 via ssh using root@my_ip.. to use 'root' (the shell which is spawned with rootsh installed) do I need to add the root user to the sudoers?08:37
usicowthe reason I ask is because even if I use the rootsh command directly, I get permission denied on this script i've got:08:39
usicow./wake.py: Permission denied08:39
usicowthis is quite confusing.. even though I'm logged in as root, I need to run sudo /usr/bin/gainroot to get.. root..08:42

johnxso, if you plug in a usb device after running it, that doesn't work?09:28
usicowno.. still doesnt work.09:30
usicowI've opened up the file /usr/share/applications/hildon/usbcontrol.desktop09:30
johnxcould be lots of reasons. what kind of device did you try plugging in?09:30
usicowand in there it says the command that it runs is: sudo run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/usbcontrol09:30
usicowthe strange thing is that for me, if I've got a terminal window open, all sudo commands are just ignored.09:31
usicowits a USB stick that I've plugged in to it.. I know it does work, because it has worked in the past. But I resently flashed the n810 and since then it hasnt worked.09:31
johnxah, no real idea then09:31
RST38hDoesn't it need power?09:33
RST38hIn this case, there is an applet in Extras that lets you power up things plugged into usb port09:33
johnxusbcontrol is the other way to do it09:33
johnxthey're all just running echo host > /sys/.../musb/mode or something09:34
johnxabout 3 out of 4 usb sticks I've tried on the N800 here work fine09:34

johnxdpkg -L usbcontrol10:17
johnxand just copy the .desktop file and make it point to your own script10:18
usicowyeah I copied the .desktop file, but its not appearing.. maybe theres another config file that needs to be edited..10:19

mgedminmaybe17:31
mgedminas a user, I prefer gtk because the themes are prettier :)17:31
mgedminnokia will make the themes look the same17:31
mgedminas a programmer, I haven't written a single app for maemo during all those years anyway17:31
* mgedmin has a pygtk desktop app for uploading e-books into his nokia over sshfs with a single click, and /me should open-source it some day17:32
* guysoft42 just wrote a patch, that the developer didn't apply17:32
guysoft42.. i wonder where he is..17:32
RST38hanyways, as long as I can still use fb0 I am happ17:32

guysoft42does anyone here know of a way to access Cannon cameras with maemo? i saw someone packaged stuff for it.. but its all commandline17:33
*** bilboed-tp has quit IRC17:33
RST38hbtw17:34
RST38hthis means that everything they develop for fremantle is temporary17:34
ShadowJKif you set the camera to usb mass storage mode and connect it, it probably just works17:34
RST38hmaybe that is why it all looks so crappy17:34
RST38hShadow: unless his camera onlly supports that picture-gate-whatever mode17:35
*** k-s[AWAY] is now known as k-s17:35
ShadowJKthen it sucks :)17:35
X-FadeRST38h: I'm sure that GTK will still work in Harmattan. It would require a _big_ rewrite to move everything to qt?17:36
X-FadeWell, sure.. you never know. :)17:36
RST38hX-Fade: It will.17:39
*** hellwolf-n810 has joined #maemo17:39
RST38hX-Fade: Completely different toolkit, uses C++ object model, gtk+ uses GObjects17:39
RST38hX-Fade: So, not only the UI but everything else using GObjects will have to go17:39
RST38hX-Fade: Also good luck to them trying to make it work on both Symbian and Maemo without changes: the original S60 is designed for one-handed button operation, Maemo UI is horizontal, touch based, no buttons17:40
X-FadeRST38h: Well, maybe when that time comes, S60 is all touch too.17:41
RST38hX-Fade: Completely different form factors dictate differences in UI. I strongly doubt these guys will be able to reconcile the differences17:41
RST38hX-Fade: Yes, that would mean sacrificing S60 UI model for Maemo one17:41
X-FadeThere are a lot of options, hard to guess which ones they will take ;)17:42
*** FireFox16 has quit IRC17:42
RST38hX-Fade: But looking at the latest Fremantle stuff, I can't help but wonder if they are doing the opposite, i.e. changing Maemo UI for S60-like UI17:42
RST38hX-Fade: Not a lot, just 2. 3-4 if you are imaginative.17:42
RST38hWhich they do not seem to be, hence 2.17:42
X-FadeRST38h: Grudual moves towards a single point perhaps?17:42
ShadowJKaren't the form factors merging? ;-)17:44
RST38hX-Fade: my point is that there is no single point, because current form factors are different17:45
*** andre__ has joined #maemo17:45
RST38hX-Fade: You may try achieving semantic unity (kinda like HTML in FF and HTML in Lynx) but I doubt they will17:46
X-FadeRST38h: But new iterations aren't designed on current form factors :)17:46
ShadowJKIf you flip N810 upside down and draw green and red on the buttons, it looks almost like Tube17:46
RST38hX-Fade: Well, if they just go the tablet way (i.e. 5800/N97/etc) then it is more probable that they will ditch S6017:46
*** man_in_shack has quit IRC17:47
RST38hX-Fade: But then, you have to take into account the corporate politics, where S60 guys probably won't go without a fight17:47
*** man_in_shack has joined #maemo17:47
