When it works it seems to work well. When it doesn’t I have to reboot the whole fr. So I’m trying to figure out how to make it work more reliably…

Anyway I have two questions to add. FYI I’m running Debian using kernel 2.6.29-rc3 from SHR and X/xserver-xorg-video-glamo

1. I get a permission problem if I don’t run mplayer as root. Any suggestion of which group I need to join my user to, or which files I need to change the permissions of?

MPlayer dev-SVN-rUNKNOWN-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team
CPU: ARM

Playing Transfer/insiders.mp4.
AVI file format detected.
[aviheader] Video stream found, -vid 0
[aviheader] Audio stream found, -aid 1
VIDEO: [FMP4] 320×180 24bpp 15.000 fps 304.6 kbps (37.2 kbyte/s)
Clip info:
Software: MEncoder SVN-r30656
error opening mem: Permission denied
VO XOverlay: Subvo init failed
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

2. It rejects some files that I have encoded as you suggest, eg the following is 320×180:

==========================================================================
Opening video decoder: [hwmp4] MPEG-4 Video passthrough
VDec: vo config request – 180 x 320 (preferred colorspace: MPEG-4)
VDec: using MPEG-4 as output csp (no 0)
Movie-Aspect is undefined – no prescaling applied.
VO: [glamo] 180×320 => 180×320 MPEG-4
bad image size

Is this reasonably safe to use if one doesn’t run Xorg and reboots after playing the video before starting X again?

* Install fbset program

* Create /etc/fb.modes

mode “vga”
geometry 480 640 480 1280 16
timings 40816 8 16 2 16 8 2
rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
endmode

mode “qvga”
geometry 480 640 480 1280 16
timings 100000 8 16 2 16 8 2
rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
endmode

Calling “fbset qvga” and “echo qvga-normal > /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi2.0/state”
is needed for mplayer in 320×240 with correct colors.

If the video is too big (from the resolution+FPS point of view), you’ll get that behavior…

I tried your kernel and the mplayer binary, but all i get is an scrambeled video output.
audio is ok.
The video look like it is out of sync (vertically)
i am using a freerunner with:
Found SMedia Glamo 3362, with 3365 core, rev A2

Any idea on how to get it working?

Kind regards,
Ed
