unique311its hildonizing it i'm worried about..coding and moi are not friends...07:43
Pupnika lot of things require keyboard07:44
Pupnikyou said this was from a zaurus site?07:44

unique311i'm transferring the folder right now to my n80008:27
unique311i'll tell you as soon as i got it setup08:27
Pupniki think that will be a problem with the 77008:29
Pupnikworking with a tablet and airbrush is great, but when it lags, it ruins the usability08:29
Pupnikbut there are still a million uses for gimp even without that08:30
unique311airbrush tool..08:30
unique311hardly use it08:30

unique311dude gimp hildonize somewhat nice in scratchbox...08:41
unique311screenshot it for ya08:41
Pupnikthat's cause it's gtk08:41
unique311still transfering it to freaking my card..08:41
unique311its almost perfect08:41
*** _follower_ has quit IRC08:45
Pupnikfor me, the 770 is almost perfect :)08:47
unique311running gimp?08:47
Pupnikno as a device08:47
unique311k08:47
Pupnikdon't have much space free08:48
Pupniklet us know how much it takes on your / filesystem after you install08:48
unique311well its 55mb unpacked08:51
unique311so its huge08:51
Pupnikbtw the gimp binary is actually a symlink to gimp-2.008:51
unique311yeah08:52
unique311i ran gimp-2.008:52
unique311works same on scratchbox08:52

mikemorrisonwith all those windows it must be a little annoying to use08:58
unique311no08:58
unique311that in scratchbox08:58
unique311still have to test it out on the n80008:58
mikemorrisonyes i can see that.. hehe08:59
unique311k, cross ur fingers08:59
mikemorrisonin the scratchbox switching between windows is pretty fast. but on the n800 it is quite a bit slower so switching and forth would be annoying08:59
mikemorrison.. switching back and forth09:00

Pupnikthis drives me nuts, tak's build of fceu doesn't give me the same xsp doubling problems as my own compile09:04

Pupnikposted Tue, Mar 13 - about 3/4 down the page09:30
Takmeh, my opera is crashing09:31
Pupniki can msg you his text about sdl audio if you want09:31
Taksdl sound sucked so badly I wrote an esd driver09:31
Pupnikoh so your fceu isn't using sdl sound09:31
Takno09:31
ubulakifluffI like to write a code that scrolls the area with pen drag (without visible scrollbars), I googled but can't find such a code. Where should I search?09:32
Pupnikdarn his explanation sounded so plausible for the stuttering09:32
*** zulla has joined #maemo09:32
PupnikTak do you have a IT2006 build environment?09:32
Takthe 770 is just too slow to handle the emulation, the sound emulation, the blitting, and the playback all at once09:33
Pupnikok09:33
Takit's almost perfect on the n80009:33
Pupniki'm curious whether someone else's build of ur-quan-masters would show the same effects i'm seeing09:33
*** xan has joined #maemo09:33
Takyes I do - probably can't test until tonight (cdt) though09:34
Pupnikok thanks09:34
Pupnikit's crazy, when i run your fceu and move the synergy x11 cursor over the doubled playfield09:37
Pupnikit flickers briefly down to non doubled but returns09:37
Pupnikwhen i run my build, i get all kinds of artistic effects, junk on screen09:37

zullaGuys, check out http://www.umpcportal.com09:57
zullaApparently, there's a Hildon-based x86 Linux distribution in the works09:58
zullahttps://intel.wingateweb.com/published/UMGS003/UMGS003_100eng.pdf09:58
Pupnikgreat news zulla09:59
Pupnikgetting intel behind it is huge09:59

*** polpak has quit IRC10:00
zullaPupnik: Yeah, but I certainly hope that Nokia, Redflag and Intel will work together. I'd hate to see two different Hildon-based efforts going on.10:00

*** richieeee72 has quit IRC10:09
jku__Very interesting.10:11
jku__Also notable is Intels term MID instead of UMPC: their definition of "MID" seems to be very, very close to 770/n80010:13
zullajku: Exactly. I wonder if "Internet Tablet" is somehow trademarked by Nokia, since Intel's effort appears to be pretty much the same thing.10:15

gleitzhi all10:23
gleitzis anyone familiar with pygtk on scratchbox?10:23
keesjHi10:24
gleitzor, more generally, gtk in general? just wanted to know what specific packages should be installed to get gtk to work in scratchbox10:24
*** bergie_ has quit IRC10:25
keesjif you installed scratchbox using the installer scripts gtk/hidlon should work.10:25
gleitzhmm, i did use the installer script10:26
keesjthere are also installation manuals on the maemo.org website that tell you how to install.10:26
keesjhmm actualy , I don't know enough to really help, I know hidlong is gtk based and I don't know if you could even install pure gtk on sbox10:27
Pupniknote: gtk2.0 is standard10:28
gleitzyeah i all seems rather straightforward10:28
gleitzwanted to get pygtk to work just for the ease of use10:28
gleitzi put the .desktop file in the proper locate, .py file in /usr/lib/hildon-home10:28
gleitzbut when i try to add the home plugin within scratchbox it doesn't appear10:28
gleitzi bet it would work if i used the n800 device instead of the scratchbox, but it would be nice to avoid that10:29
Pupnikhmm, ssh to the device and see what is different10:30
gleitzdifference is that all the files within the device directory are shared object files, not .py10:30
gleitzdoubt that would make a huge difference, but it would be nice to see how an app that used pygtk installs itself10:31

konttoriI have to say that the top bar icons in the MIDLinux screenshot is nice and simplistic.11:41
konttoriOTOH, they are a bit of a OSX ripoffs11:41

Pupnikhttp://www.umpcportal.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=41611:45
Jaffaroope: Ripoffs of iPhone and Canola aren't any problem to me if they result in a better UI.11:46

zullahttp://perkypants.org/blog/2007/04/16/major-gnome-announcement-next-thursday/ - wonder if that's related?12:11
Jaffazulla: even if it's a PS hackjob, it still sets a direction and a level of quality of what you can expect.12:13
roopejaffa: Are we now talking about the same screenshots?12:14
* Pupnik is gathering moral courage to resume porting PocketSNES12:14
roopehttp://www.umpcportal.com/gallery/v/redflag/  these ones?12:14
roopeI fail to see the level of quality in them. :)12:14
roopehttp://www.umpcportal.com/gallery/v/redflag/midLinux.jpg.html  that's simply awful, imho.12:15
roopeIcons all over the place, graphics are are a ripoff, the text is too small, it's non-scalable etc. etc.12:15
roopeOffice, Voip, More, Date?12:16
Jaffahttp://www.gtk-server.org/intro.html looks cool.12:17
timelessis garage svn for new projects working yet?12:18
Jaffaroope: point taken, although having the launcher horizontally where there's most space with proper thumb-oriented usage makes more sense than the use of vertical space and enormous menus scrolling a pixel at a time.12:19
JaffaAnd it's a nice background picture :)12:19
roopeWell, horizontal is two hand usage compared to vertical one, but yes, the scrolling is bad.12:19
*** dieguito-zzz has quit IRC12:20
roopeThe only screenshot they currently have of a real application looks like maemo mapper. so i'd reserve my praise for actually seeing what they have done.12:21
roopeand no, ripping off the iphone graphics and canola works isn't really cool.12:21
roopeApple won't also think that it would be very cool. Main-stream users would see "oh, it's an iphone ripoff" after seeing those.12:21
roopeand people don't have positive reactions to recognizing ripoffs.12:22
Jaffaroope: can you use an existing Maemo/Hildon device with just one hand?12:22
* Jaffa 's never really tried12:22
roopewell, some tasks yes, with the left hand. In theory at least.12:23
roopesince the rocker is there, task launcher is accessible with the left thumb etc.12:23
JaffaI'd be worried about dropping the device, but the N800 might be more rugged than it feels12:23
glassreading books is ok with one hand12:24
glasslike12:24
*** mk8 has joined #maemo12:24
glassusing the 5way button on 770 is doable with one hand if you hold it certain way12:24
mk8Hi to all ...12:24
konttoriTOp bar in this screenshot is much nicer than the one roope posted: http://blog.tokash.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/4/redskymidlinux.jpg12:25
roopeAnd a lot less functional. :)12:26
* konttori agrees with Jaffa that N800 / 770 is not usable with on hand.12:26
Jaffa(in general)12:26
JaffaReading an ebook, as glass says, is doable - but that's about it.12:27
konttoriroope: Well, it's missing the application name and the home button, but otherwise it's the same top bar12:27
konttoriOTOH, Left bar is much nicer that the bottom bar pictured in the screenshot12:27
* konttori just like the icon design in the top bar12:28
JaffaThey could be praised for releasing (screenshots) early, and releasing (screenshots) often.12:28
konttoriSimplistic enough for my taste12:28
roopeI'd like to see one element that wouldn't be a ripoff from apple or maemo. :) But yeah.12:29
roopeThose status icons look like apple icons.12:29
roope(which are good, yes)12:29
roopeBut I don't think that's ... very kosher even in open source to steal graphics like that.12:29
roopeAt least I wouldn't be releasing screenshots with commercial graphics.12:31
roopeEven though it's early and often. ;)12:31
Jaffa:)12:36
JaffaOne of the screenshots seemed to contain an iPod IIRC12:37
*** ssvb has joined #maemo12:37
konttoriroope: OTOH, they could choose kosher way and adapt the icons a bit but retain the idea of using one color icons12:39
* zulla once again wonders what Linux projects in China the West never hears about.12:40
konttoriI think top bar icons are much better served in one color mode, as they are so small in pixel count and the idea is that they shouldn't be catching users attention when user is not interested in their contents12:41
roopekonttori: I agree with that.12:41
roope(except the presence icon) :)12:41
konttoriOr they don't have anything special to say (like battery almost over -> turn battery icon red)12:42
konttoriyeah, presence icon might have some small colorind depending on the situation.12:42
* timeless sighs12:43
timelessis anyone here familiar w/ SVN management?12:43
Jaffahttp://www.engadget.com/gallery/intels-mid-umpc-so-long-xp-vista-hello-linux/214488/ is interesting for not showing it as just photoshop: the top one in particular looks like Hildon Desktop (or some variant) with some different icons/configuration)12:47
devtimeless: what's the question?12:47
timelessi'm wondering about the maemocjk svn on garage12:48
timelessit has:12:48
timelesstags/ trunk/ wolfg/ www/12:48
timelesswolfg/ has two directories named to match directories in trunk12:48
Jaffahttp://www.engadget.com/gallery/intels-mid-umpc-so-long-xp-vista-hello-linux/214485/ also has apps you don't see on Maemo: Real Player icon, Google Maps app, a different Sylpheed port etc.12:48
timeless(no idea about their content, it's not really my job)12:48
roopeThat's the old maemo development skin, as far as I can tell.12:51
roopeBut yeah, it's exactly the same.12:51

* timeless wonders what it is13:08
roopeAs the entry says, if you have any ideas/questions/comments/discussion topics for the blog, please give comments.13:08
timelessroope: does this mean it's open season on ui flaws?13:08
timelessif it is, i'll start writing them some sunday13:09
roopeWell, it's open season for constructive public discussio on the ui. :)13:09
roopeI'll probably write a separate entry like "Rant about applications to this entry".13:09
timelessroope: so public discussion, does that involve asking for new features?13:09
roopeYou can ask and propose everything. We're a bit limited in discussing some factors, but that's our problem.13:10
roopeAll ideas are naturally welcome.13:10

roopei.e. we can't really tell what is accepted to appear in the next releases.13:10
roopeAnd it's a shame, but that's just the policy.13:10
zuhroope: I hope that page design is not reflecting the flexibility of the UI team ;)13:10
timelessalmost all ideas are naturally unwelcome,  or was that unnaturally unwelcome13:10
roopeIt's a wordpress ready template. :) We're doing the release soon thing with the blog also .:)13:11
timelesszuh: having seen the ui tean, but not the ui, i'd have to say i'm sure it *is* a reflection of their flexibility13:11
roopeWell.13:11
timelessboy, my typing's bad today13:11
roopePerhaps I'll write an entry for that already.13:12
zuhI just don't get the "I want my page this wide period" designs... That'd look pretty sad on a wide screen.13:12

timelessgood luck13:17
roopeWordpress has a rather limited amount of default templates.13:18
roope"A smooth two-column theme adorned with a banana. Very personal." Hmm...13:18
timelessheh13:18
roopeWell, that's about the only 1 column theme that they have there. It'll have to do for now.13:19
zullaroope: http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/ - then adapt that to your needs.13:20
* zulla 's own wordpress blog is rather boring but he's working on it based on that Sandbox theme.13:20
roopeI don't think that the template is the #1 we should be putting our focus on now. :)13:21
* timeless shrugs13:21
timelessfrom my perspective, the first thing the ui team needs to do is get a consistent look and feel13:21
roopeUi team or ui theme?13:21

glassif it had no width limit it would look like crap..14:23
tigertread it with your rss client14:23
tigerttest.maemo.org is flex-width14:23
tigertand I am starting to not enjoy that14:23
tigertsince it makes it very hard to make good layout inside the "container"14:24

tigertI keep my browser constant width14:29
roopeso tabbed browsing i think has changed the rules somewhat.14:29
tigertfor some sites its good to have flex-width14:29
tigertlike web forums14:29
tigertbut i dunno, as long as stuff is not forced wider it's ok14:29
tigertbut for the content producer its much easier to design layout when the "size of the paper" is known :)14:29
glass"use 1024x768" is so 90's14:29
tigertI dont mean that14:30
tigertbut rather than just be less than 1024 wide if possible14:30
tigertwhether flex or not14:30

timelessgregale is newer iirc15:19
*** krau has joined #maemo15:19
Pupniki see mplayer has a special output driver nokia770 and can also use xv15:19
inzBut mistral compiled most likely work for all mistral, scirocco and gregale15:20
Pupnikbut it says no xvideo support for your card15:20
inzWhich is why I use mistral roostrap to build packages15:20
timelesshttp://repository.maemo.org/15:20
timelessseems to be fairly clear15:21
Pupnikpart nope15:21
ssvbinz: So should I replace 'mistral' with 'gregale' in mplayer .install file? I'm pretty much confused15:22
kaatisintel "MID Linux-Based Software Stack" .. "RedFlag MIDINUX "1st Linux Distro for MID" https://intel.wingateweb.com/published/UMGS003/UMGS003_100eng.pdf15:23
ssvbinz: what problems can be expected if some apps get installed with .install files using 'mistral' and some using 'gregale'?15:24
inzssvb, it all depends on what release you use on your device15:24
inzssvb, if you have the latest release, it doesn't really matter, all should work just fine (even mixed)15:25
ssvbinz: I guess users may have any release, will application installer handle all the possible cases correctly?15:26
ssvbmaybe someone from Nokia could give some advice15:26
timelessapplication insaller isn't amazingly clever, it's basically apt15:27
timelessso if apt is likely to mess up, application installer probably will too15:27
tigertplus AI won't remove conflicts15:27
tigertthus it will back off15:27
tigertie, it plays safe15:28
tigertwhich is probably good15:28
inzssvb, you will run into trouble if the user has older version than the repository is for15:28
ssvbfor OS2007 everything is clear, maemo 3.0 is 'bora' and 3.1 is 'bora' as well, but OS2006 has a whole bunch of different repositories for minor bugfix releases15:28
*** Pupnik_ has joined #maemo15:32
ssvbtigert: I just checked http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/maemo_downloads_is_again_open_for_business.html blog entry, Maemo Mapper uses 'gregale' for OS2006 in .install file, but mplayer still uses 'mistral', installing these two packages from single click install files is impossible because of that15:35
bergiessvb: we're planning to split the app catalog to catalog per OS release15:35
bergieto solve these issues15:35
*** dvlahakis has joined #maemo15:35
*** Vudentz has joined #maemo15:36
bergiebesides, I guess many apps have different release cycle for different OS versions15:36
Pupnik_ssvb: do you understand how mplayer writes direct to framebuffer?15:37
tigertthis bora vs gregale vs mistral stuff is very confusing anyway15:37
Pupnik_i'd like to reduce overhead for blitting rectangles, for uae, snes9x, dosbo etc15:37

MDKit's to a certain extent15:51
MDKbut not 100%15:51
tigerthaha15:51
tigertor "haha"15:51
ssvbPupnik_: yes, it is right file, mplayer uses YUV colorspace but RGB should be the same, main problem is to synchronize concurrent access to framebuffer with xserver, that's why mplayer creates x11 window and does all that x11 stuff in this file15:52
ssvbPupnik_: I may try to write some short framebuffer usage guide if I find time for that and if anybody is interested15:53
Pupnik_ ssvb you don't need to spend much effort writing it.. just a textfile of some background info and links and things you discovered while working on it would be a big help15:54
ssvbPupnik_: you can check this link, it contains some of the information about framebuffer api: http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2007-March/009133.html15:57
Pupnik_thanks! :)15:58
ssvbPupnik_: check omapfb.h file for all the necessary constants, pixel doubling is just a bit flag for screen update ioctl call, there is no such thing as enabling or disabling pixel doubling at the framebuffer level (it pixel doubling state is introduced in xserver, framebuffer itself is 'stateless' on Nokia 770)16:03
Pupnik_good to know - saved16:05
Pupnik_also seeing fastmem-arm9 which i need to understand16:06
ssvbbergie, tigert, MDK: about extras repository, if application is compatible with all maemo 2.x firmware releases, can you try to decide on recommendation whether 'mistral', 'scirocco' or 'bora' should be preferred for OS2006, it can clear some confusion16:09
bergiebora is 2007, isn't it?16:09
ptmanyes16:10
ssvbPupnik_: it is just an optimized implementation of memcpy for Nokia 770, is a bit faster than default memcpy16:10
ssvbbergie: it was a typo, s/bora/gregale16:10
bergieok16:11
bergieI guess I better not comment the naming and leave that to the Nokia guys :-)16:11
ssvbPupnik_: it provides a decent improvement when you have lots of bulk memory copy operations (for example implementing double buffering), you can benchmark this function yourself but in my tests it was 10-40% faster16:13
Pupnik_such operations are a large part of emulating the SNES PPC - though i haven't benchmarked yet16:14
Pupnik_most of what it's doing is layering bitmaps via memcpy16:14
*** lsobral has joined #maemo16:15
ssvbPupnik_: there are also variants for 16-bit and 32-bit data, they have lower prologue/epilogue overhead, so are better for smaller buffers16:17
Pupnik_well memmove too16:19
Pupnik_ah which these are16:19
ssvbPupnik_: If you need to clear bitmaps fast, there is also optimized memset function (with 16-bit variant as well), it is more than twice faster than default memset16:20
Pupnik_yes lots of that, excellent!16:20
ssvbPupnik_: I do not have memmove function yet, memcpy needs to be modified to copy data backwards to implement it16:21
Pupnik_are the versions in mplayer the ones i want?  or is there a page with these?16:24
ssvbPupnik_: 'arm9_memcpy16' is for 16-bit data, but these sources have lots of comments, so everything should be clear, the latest version of these functions is in mplayer SVN trunk, there is no separate page for them16:26
ssvbPupnik_: I think I will add some page for developers and optimizations tips and tricks to maemo mplayer website16:27
*** etrunko has joined #maemo16:30
ssvbPupnik_: inline asm versions are potentially not safe, so *.S file is preferred, looks like gcc used in maemo SDK is buggy, see https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=73316:32

zullassvb: only tried 592x352@25fps, but that didn't work on the n800.17:07
zullassvb: no other experiments beyond that.17:07
ssvbzulla: N800 uses a high quality hardware scaler, so there are no magic numbers which should work worse or better17:08
zullassvb: no modulo 16 limit?17:08
ssvbbut increasing resolution introduces tearing and makes video harder to decode (framedrops), so there should be some limit17:09
ssvbzulla: that 16 pixels limit is probably in video decoder but not necessarily scaler17:10
ssvbanyway, increasing resolution with 16 pixels on each step is not so restricting17:11

jarichardsonno updates, no fixes...18:04
jarichardsonfrom nokia18:04
jarichardsonno new flash updates, opera updates18:04
Pupnik_that is correct i think18:04
Pupnik_in other words, you get what you paid for18:04
jarichardsondamn, i hate buying hardware that becomes obsolete in a year18:04
Pupnik_plus a world of open source18:05
jarichardsonopen is a relative term18:05
jarichardsontons of closed source tools on the 77018:05
X-Fadejarichardson: Why is it obsolete? It doesn't stop working after that year. It just stays in the state it is after the last firmware update?18:06
*** konttori_ has joined #maemo18:06
jarichardsonfair enough, it just sucks owning a device that everyone drops18:07
Pupnik_i'm porting apps to the 77018:07
Pupnik_so are other people18:07
jarichardsonthis kind of history is enough for me to stop buying products from a given company18:07
X-FadeMost software runs on both type of hardware. Video is even better on 770 ;)18:08
jarichardsonvideo playback is better?18:08
Pupnik_buying a product doesn't entitle you to a lifetime of free product upgrades18:08
jarichardsonwith mplayer?18:08
Pupnik_mplayer is excellent18:08
jarichardsonyes, but when you spend a decent chunk of money on something, you'd exepect it to be supported for longer than a year18:08
X-FadeYep..18:08
Pupnik_again, we come to the issue of what you expect by 'support'18:09
jarichardsonhmm, do you have to reencode all the videos to work well with mplayer?18:09
X-Fadejarichardson: What do you like to see fixed?18:09
jarichardsoni'd like to have a common API between the devices, so software doesnt need to be "ported"18:09
jarichardsonotherwise it just makes developers do more work18:09
X-Fadejarichardson: Well virtually everything is the same on both devices..18:10
Tak|workthere is a common api - most 770 apps work out of the box18:10
Tak|work (on the n800)18:10
jarichardsonnot vice-versa18:10
X-Fadejarichardson: You always develop for the lowest common denominator..18:10
X-FadeSo that is 770 in this case..18:10
zuhX-Fade: Unless you want to do video that is...18:11
jarichardsontrue, but does it say that in the develpment docs? "develop for a 770 so you don't have to back port your app later"18:11
X-Fadezuh: Yeah, but that is broken hardware design ;)18:11
zuhXvideo extension?18:11
X-Fadezuh: Not easily fixable via software..18:11
zuhWhich isn't there in 77018:11
Pupnik_i think nokia was right to stick with ti/arm18:12
jarichardsonso the 800 has the xv extension, but has poorer performance?18:12
X-Fadezuh: So you don't use xvideo but the supplied dsp codecs? :)18:12
zuhX-Fade: On N800? Are they still there?18:12
X-Fadezuh: I think so?18:15
jarichardsonhmm, are there any replacement linux distributions for the 770, since i wont be getting any further updates from nokia?18:15
zuhX-Fade: Nope, not present.18:16
X-Fadejarichardson: Nokia provides a clean root filesystem..18:16
unique311zuh how did you get the menu bar so small?18:17
zuhX-Fade: And IIRC they required extra work to use anyway (through Xsp)18:17
X-Fadezuh: Ah, i had seen the mp3sink and guessed that the mpeg codec was there too..18:18
zuhunique311: It doesn't use the maemo theme so the font size is not the same... The theme in that shot is the regular clearlooks one18:19
jarichardsonhttp://www.angstrom-distribution.org/ has a distribution18:19

X-FadeAnd update it to the latest 2007 image ;)18:22

inzetrunko, never used jhbuild, but I guess it's good to have it working. =)19:22
konttori_Funny. It's not so much a resolution issue. Works @ 20 fps on 512 kbps, but not on 768 kbps.19:24
etrunkoinz: yeah, i've just reinstalled my machine, so its quite useful19:24
*** greentux has joined #maemo19:25
inzetrunko, I wonder I one should add a cd .. after the make installs in HildonDesktopPortability...19:25

inzetrunko, there was a post on maemo-developers that had hildon-theme-cacher/hildon-theme-tools/hildon-theme-layout-4...19:25
etrunkoinz: maybe a good idea19:27
konttori_I wonder why the decoder takes it's toll from the bitrate. If the video is decoded in the dsp, could it somehow be that the dsp can't handle streams faster than 512 at good speed? Surely that would be odd19:28
*** luogni has quit IRC19:28
*** zyxulnaga has quit IRC19:28
konttori_ssvb: You wouldn't have any insight as to what to think of this?19:29
konttori_The problem is only in the most totally changing scenes.19:31
ssvbkonttori_: N800 does not use DSP for video anymore (otherwise it would be as slow or even slower than 770), in this sense N800 works in the same way as MPlayer - ARM is used for decoding video, DSP is used for decoding audio19:31
konttori_I have my test scene in sushine trailer seconds 30-40. Scene changes totally from white to black in one frame19:31
konttori_ahh.. that's good to hear19:31
konttori_but then, why would the bitrate affect it so much?19:32
ssvbkonttori_: looks like the built-in mpeg4 video decoder is slow19:32
konttori_Yeah. I guess that's the only conclusion.19:33
*** dushko has joined #maemo19:33
ssvbkonttori_: mplayer suffers more from memory bandwidth and Xv performance, so video resolution is critical for it, but high bitrate is much lesser problem19:34
konttori_Ahh... @ 18 fps it can JUST handle the fast changing scene @ 1024 kbps. I think I'll set it to stone now.19:34
ssvbkonttori_: probably built-in player suffers from both19:34
