A few hours later, I tried the 770 version on my n800 and experienced exactly the same, slow playback.
It's the package xmms which causes the problems.
I have to check the compilation options. If I remember (I'll update the post later) I set the mpcu to arm9 and without -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=soft-float


With regard to slow mp3 and ogg playback, are you using Tremor yet for ogg? Tremor (integer only) is faster than vorbis (floating point) even on the floating point-enabled N800, the soft-float 770 will certainly be very very slow having to simulate all those fp instructions. Same goes for mp3, are you using mad (integer only) or did you choose a floating point code?
No I haven't modified xmms code so far. I only thought I would do it for ogg but if I also have to do it for mp3, that's a huge modification, but why not.

So you think this slowdown could easily be a cpu overload and is not a surprise to you? I thought I made a mistake.. I'll look at it as I can reproduce the problem on my device with the packages from 770.

Sorry 770 users, no xmms for now...

Free: My attempts at installing xmms on my n800 have so far proved fruitless. The first two dependencies designated in your initial instructions consistently failed to be installed and/or configured. Have you yet developed, or intend to develop, a simpler system for a successful installation for semi-dummies such as myself? Thanks and regards, Jim

Hi Jim,
I've created a partial repository. As of now, it should be enough for users of n800 devices.

In application manager, add a repository:

http://debfarm.free.fr
bora
user

Then update the list of applications, scroll down and you'll find xmms.


For 770, I've began to look at mad plugin (I realize now why some people wanted the -dev ..) but hit some problems with libid3tag on the device and even in scratchbox.

Free: I followed your instructions and added debfarm to my N800 Application List, apparently successfully (refreshed it and all) but no xmms appears. What now? Thanks for your response. Regards, Jim

Can you open an xterm and type this:
PHP Code:
apt-cache policy xmms

I just integrated xmms into a file manager i just ported (emelfm2). Your program works great! Would be nice if there was a command line argument to exit the program (and not just stop) but i have context menus now on mp3 where you can launch in xmms ... i had to make a shell script to wrap the lang=c thing but it works fine.

If anyone wants to try it out you can grab the installer from here :
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=13160

Let me know if you need any help with the program although its mostly there just needs hack to shutdown or minimize.

The -D- icon is awesome wish that large mode could be made default.

Free: Belatedly noticed this posting of yours. Can I assume it was in answer to my previous posting? I ran the apt-cache instruction in xterm and it lists items indicating, I believe, that xmms is installed. If it is, I sure can't find it anywhere. What exactly was the apt-cache command supposed to tell me/us? Regards and thanks again, Jim

in the menu did you check?
policy will tell u
. if it's installed
. which one could be installed and from which repository


Thanks pipeline. I also tried your filemanager, it's great and works but i will need longer time to have an objective critic.
