Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900 [09.12.2011 VIDEOCALL WORKS]
 

that's exactly the problem, it seems without the 720p codecs, all is fine. looking through the source code the 'connection error' is misleading, and appears if it's unable to play 3 songs in a row.

......snip.....
if (!audio_started) http_req_success = FALSE;
......snip.............
static int failed_tracks = 0;
if (http_req_success) {
failed_tracks = 0;
controller_skip_track ();
} else if (++failed_tracks == 3) {
failed_tracks = 0;
controller_stop_playing ();
controller_show_warning ("Connection error");
} else {
controller_skip_track ();
}
return FALSE;


i'm using the vegalume from the repos.

Am I stupid :D. Thanks for that.

BTW as you may probably saw, I wrote a code for bitrate calculation based on video resolution, framerate and quality, but left it commented, as there is no UI to control it and I am not much into GTK to implement one.

Well, that is what i got when run "-DDEBUG" compiled vagalume
Dec 16 15:02:54 Nokia-N900 vagalume[4064]: GLIB DEBUG default - Requesting URL http://gigue.rrbone.net/310833.ogg2
Dec 16 15:02:54 Nokia-N900 vagalume[4064]: GLIB WARNING ** default - Error: No valid frames found before end of stream
Dec 16 15:02:54 Nokia-N900 vagalume[4064]: GLIB WARNING ** default - Error getting URL http://gigue.rrbone.net/310833.ogg2

The above sequence of messages comes from http.c and has nothing to do with gstreamer, it is curl that fails for some reason. Are you sure after you restore stock codecs vagalume works ok? If that is the case, what exactly do you restore to make it working.

BTW opening the same url with gstreamer0.10-launch works like charm so gstreamer is not broken.

ok, well it's not working for you either.. so something us 720p folk have has broken it. i wonder could it be kp49? i'll back out the 720p codecs and see if it works then. :mad::mad:

edit:backed out codecs,rebooted, and vagalume is still broken, so i guess the codecs themselves are off the hook.. i've no idea what's gone wrong... i don't want to go back to kp48, but might if i can't figure it out..

Edit: just tried video call (skype) after installing the new libgstdsp.so and is not working :( (I can receive video but if I activate my cam the call gets cut off) for me, anybody else have the same problem? :confused:

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900 [09.12.2011 VIDEOCALL WORKS]
 

OH nice, can test with higher bitrates? in my case, 20mbps, in theory higher bitrates, only demands higher write speeds and our nokia N900 its about 8-18mbps so...

If the DPS doesnt limite the bitrate, maybe can get working 20mbps or more, but i think 20 its perfect ( for zero pixelation ).

About the Camera Design, i can help with that :D

THanks

Seems I've managed to break videocalling, will fix it asap

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900 [09.12.2011 VIDEOCALL WORKS]
 

Now I see, you are cheating! :-)
You disable the whole tracker-process, is it that, why we can get
that high bitrates?
It is a no-go, now it may take minutes until the video is shown
up in media player. We have to find a different way.

I played a bit with dbus-commands for tracker and the indexer.

If you like, please make some tests with this camera-ui-set-priority
file:

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900 [09.12.2011 VIDEOCALL WORKS]
 

Well, stopping tracker was a quick workaround for its stupidity (trying to index files while camera is recording) until i figure out the correct dbus commands for pause and continue... exactly what you've done. And playing with priorities and other stuff is one of the reason why I made a script instead of hard-coding it in camera-ui. next step will be to move camera-ui in another cgroup while recording,pulling it out from standby tasks cgroup where Nokians in their etheral wisdom had put.

Thanks, will test that, but my expectations are that it will work like charm.

BTW some cheating for time to time won't hurt :).

Re: [HOWTO]Watch 720p videos on n900 [09.12.2011 VIDEOCALL WORKS]
 

Instead of lowering priority it would be easier and better just to create a cgroup for it with low enough cpu.shares (editing /usr/share/policy/etc/current/syspart.conf). No need to move it among cgroups, as long as other process in a better cgroup doesn't need the cpu, it'll get all available cpu resources.
