I guess its a question I may not even qualify to ask, so how can one test this tearsync kernel on the N800? Or is it using in the VC on the N800/2008Os?

Anyhow, I am watching the news with mplayer, and trying to the ignore the sync problem, it is bearable as compare to the media player, where the media player simply comes to a halt.

Thanks qwerty12, I managed to run the code renice. It does no quat. VC media player halts at 7.5 min. So far, the only one that kind of running is VC with mplayer bundled with sync problem. This is very sad.

I think tearsync is used automatically in mplayer on n8x0, however the config option is vo=omapfb:tearsync=1 or replace omapfb with nokia770 if using earlier mplayer.

Ok, thanks to fiferboy, I pieced this command together like I said I would:

/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.kmplayer /com/nokia/kmplayer com.nokia.kmplayer.mime_open string:"%s"

I tried it and it works.

More info pls.

My bad, using that command as the external media player in video center will let you watch the videos in kmplayer.

STRONG WORK, qwerty12! It does open kmplayer and plays with kmplayer. I am now watching it and see whether it is better behaved then playing directly with media player....

NO.

It ran for about 4 min or so, and it started to stutter and deterioted into becoming a slide show and finally came to its knee, just audio with a still picture. Yes. I have been watching the same CBS/katie/5/2/08 video segment to reproduce the more similar environment, so it is not bandwidth/streaming source/etc. These are compared under the most strict similar environment as possible.

I have also configed to either osso-player or mplayer, no difference. osso-player video deteriot while mplayer audio/video sync problem.



nice try, no cigar yet..........

@Bundyo, would using tearsync770 improves the situation?


I also noticed that short segment video clips streaming does NOT have this problem, say 20 MB or 5 min. But I like to watch 100MB or 20 min+ clips....

I am doing other things that requires to watch the same clip over and over again, so I chose CBS evening news with Katie Couric, may1,2008. I watched the same clip with 770, N800, N810, with Wifi streaming, dl a copy, MMC boot etc various combination. The 770 streamed with VideoCenter very well, smooth and clear for the whole 22 min broadcast. Both the N800 and N810, running 2008Os, are NOT watchable after a mere 5 minutes. And I am using media player. Mplayer (rc1.26....) is even worse. How many times I have done it, close to 12 times.

There are serious problems in streaming video signals on 2008Os.

Good news or bad news first?

I tried your Katie stream.

Good news: You forced me to watch Katie Couric. Thank you,
thank you, thank you.

Bad news: Video center Couric stream unwatchable with
Media player after just a few minutes.

More Good News: Katie played very well with my N800 OS2008 Video Center using
mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.27. Smooth sailing, no stutter. After 14 minutes
audio delay was slightly off (default audio delay with
mplayer is 200 ms). With OSD I quickly changed that to 0 ms and all
was well again. I also watched may 2nd stream. Similar results.
No need to change audio delay. Very good streaming quality.

When I played downloaded Katie stream both Media Player and
mplayer worked very well.

My Video center settings: Player External, command line /usr/bin/mplayer -cache 1024 %s

Perhaps this is because .27 has better AAC audio handling than
previous versions and Katie is using AAC.

Try .27. Perhaps it changes your life. Works for me.
