Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900

How old are you 12? 13? Just a few posts above I stated that I am writing a script which will allow you to enable 720p using only your n900, desktop won't be needed at all. Why it is so hard for you to read before asking questions. Please delete your post and be patient, I am just testing this new script.

In that case, a 600MHz DSP overclock won't be needed?

I found this email from Felipe Contreras:

It is possible that now is gst-dsp closed :(

Don't think so, in binary there is LGPL clearly visible, sadly still no answer from Felipe Contreras.

I would ask you to reconsider and write him an email, maybe he will answer you.

I already written mail too and I'm also waiting for answer.

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900

OK here is how to enable 720p using only your n900.

Make sure you have kernel-power v49 installed before continuing

Make sure you have extras-devel and SDK repos enabled before continuing.
press here while in microb to install extras-devel repo.

You have to manually add SDK repo from application manager:
Start Application manager and on menu select Application Catalogs. Select New. Enter SDK for catalog name, http://repository.maemo.org/ for web address, fremantle/sdk for distribution and free non-free for components.

You will need about 6GB free on MyDocs and about 800 MB free on /opt

As root:

1. Download and extract attached n900_720p.tar.gz into /root folder of your n900

cd /root
tar -zxvf n900_720p.tar.gz

2. Cd to directory with extraced files

cd /root/n900_720p

3. execute the script

./mount_n950_rootfs.sh

4. Go on a long walk, it takes 2-3 hours for process to complete.

5. uninstall gstreamer0.10-openmax from n900. As root:

apt-get remove gstreamer0.10-openmax

6. When finished reboot your n900 and enjoy

NOTE: this scripts install additional software (wget, liblzo2-2 and p7zip-full), use fillowing command to remove it
As root:
apt-get remove wget liblzo2-2 p7zip-full

EDIT: to speed things up paste following in xterm. It does not matter if the script is already running.

Code:

        echo 512 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/nr_requests

        echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/slice_idle

        echo 32 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/quantum

        echo 80 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/fifo_expire_sync

/fifo_expire_sync

        echo 180 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched/fifo_expire_async

/fifo_expire_async

EDIT2:
New script uploaded, previous version did not make backup of /lib/dsp . If you need to restore original /lib/dsp directory as root:

apt-get install --reinstall omap3430-dsp-baseimage-ti omap3430-dsp-libraries-ti

EDIT3:
01.11.2011
bridgedriver.ko, bridgedriver and libbridge.so.2 removed, no longer needed

@freemangordon
by additional software do you mean the one that we don't need?
Thanks for answer

I mean that it is needed by the script, so if you don't need it after executing the script it is safe remove it.
