Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900

I installed after the 2.10.2011 update, what do I do if I want to upgrade?

And if al we need is a couple of files from the n9 filesystem, wouldn't is be easier to just post those files in stead of letting everybody mount the filesystem?

I'm just curious not ungrateful ;).

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900

Two things I found out when I ran through these steps.

1. Removing the openmax package wants to also remove the mp-fremantle package, which I don't recommend. I just renamed the openmax library so gstreamer won't see it.

2. Any 720p videos will play, but only Baseline 3.1 encoded h.264 videos play smoothly. Main or High play extremely slowly.

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

this doesnt work for me, I get "permission denied" on step 3?

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900

Sorry about that, will fix it. As a workaround you can just do

chmod 755 mount_n950_rootfs.sh

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900

when you say you need 6gig and 800 opt space to do this on the device is that how much space it will take up after instalation or needs to unpack and get what it needs then remove some clutter
