Thanks! Using -vvv, I found this [hint for anyone else trying this:
look for amber lines ;)]:

avcodec decoder warning: thread type 1: disabling hardware acceleration

Searching the web turned up this thread:

https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=134770

Apparently, vlc uses ffmpeg libraries, which contain a limitation
preventing the simultaneous use of multithreading and hardware
acceleration. The workaround is to disable multithreading (although
there's a warning that this may adversely affect performance with
non-hardware-accelerated video):

https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=134770#p446037
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=134770#p446154

Doing this reenables hardware acceleration, and CPU usage drops to
levels similar to those of mpv.

Thanks much!

launching vlc with -vvv option  may be handy sometimes

you may try with:
--avcodec-hw vaapi_drm

if you use OPENGL2 video output you may also try
--glconv glconv_vaapi
--glconv glconv_vaapi_drm

you could also have to try different "video output" settings because
apparently all video codecs are not compatible with all video outputs...

Hardware decoding of video not working in VLC

[Celejar]

My machine is a ThinkPad W550s, with an i7-5500U CPU and Intel HD
Graphics 5500. Hardware decoding of video works fine with mpv (using
vaapi), but not with vlc:

mpv without hardware decoding:

$ time mpv Rogue\ One\ -\ A\ Star\ Wars\ Story\ -\ Trailer.mp4 
Playing: Rogue One - A Star Wars Story - Trailer.mp4

[Note the decrease in CPU usage ("user").]

With vlc, the CPU usage remains roughly the same (high), regardless
of whether hardware decoding is enabled or not.

vlc without hardware decoding:

$ time vlc Rogue\ One\ -\ A\ Star\ Wars\ Story\ -\ Trailer.mp4 
VLC media player 3.0.2 Vetinari (revision 3.0.2-0-gd7b653cf14)

QObject::~QObject: Timers cannot be stopped from another thread

real2m10.894s
user0m43.276s
sys 0m1.808s

I've tried other values for --avcodec, as well as enabling hardware
acceleration from the GUI, to no avail - I get no reduction in CPU
usage.

The Arch Wiki indeed claims that hardware decoding only works with mpv,
and not with vlc:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mpv#Hardware_decoding

But vlc's own documentation claims that hardware decoding should work:

https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_GPU_Decoding

Trying to figure out hardware decoding is pretty frustrating - the web
seems full of inconsistent, outdated, and just plain wrong information.
Any ideas?

Jessie, VLC, Radeon and HW Decoding

[lukn555]

Hello Debian users

I just upgraded to Debian 8 Jessie (testing) and experience strange
behaviour with hardware accelerated video decoding.

When starting VLC I get the following error message:
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_radeonsi.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
However, GPU based video acceleration seems to work as video streams
that used to cause extreme CPU load in Debian 7 now run smoothly using
almost no CPU time.

To fix this error message I installed the package mesa-vdpau-drivers
:amd64 (10.3.2-1) which is supposed to provide the missing driver file.
This seems to be a bad idea because now the VLC video output stays black
but instead I get a huge amount of identical error messages:
[7fa1e4050518] vdpau_display vout display error: presentation queue
display failure: An invalid handle value was provided. Either the handle
does not exist at all, or refers to an object of an incorrect type.



I am using a Radeon HD 7750 with the open source radeon driver:

$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [Radeon HD 7750 / R7 250E]

$ glxinfo | grep vendor
server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org

I am running Debian 8 Jessie (testing) AMD64. The system is up to date
(ran dist-upgrade before writing this message). I have 3 displays
attached to the Radeon graphics card and configured as follow:
$ xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --auto --pos 0x0 --output HDMI-0 --auto
--pos 1920x0 --output DVI-0 --auto --pos 3840x0



Does someone with similar hardware experience the same symptoms?
Is this intended behaviour (possibly due to a hardware bug or driver
incompatibility)?
Or is this a bug in the mesa-vdpau-drivers which should be reported?

thanks!

Ah, thank you, that is a nice start.  I'll remove the test for system
byteorder because the data is always little-endian.  It's the sytem I
was worred about and the '<' is the ticket.

I am not quit understand why need dump the label, but it can be done
easily by script language, say, Python.


# - begin --

Maybe you could just grab the secondary GPT header and table?
16 KiB before the last logical sector of the disk and last 512 bytes

I'm not sure why you need to "decode" the data.

gfdisk will allow you to grab the "labels", but I don't know if you can
run it from a script (xdotool?).


Kind regards

Suggest a tool for decoding binary data

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I've been working on homegrown backups for a while.  I like using
standard UNIX tools because the backups are usable on any *NIX system.
I'm about to tackle GPT partitioned disks, and want to decode the
label.

I need it because i like to take dd-style dumps of the partition info,
including the stuff at the end of the disk.  Since the label contains
info about variable areas (the two partition lists) I need to decode
these.

The data is little-endian, but I want my code to work on little- or
big-endian machines.  I want it to be a script -- nothing compiled.

I've figured out that on my little-endian machines, I can use bash
with something like
otherlabel=$(($(dd if=label bs=1 skip=32 count=8 | od -An -t d8) ))
and I get the right answer, but only because the endianness of the
data and of my machine are the same.  I want something that will also
work on a big-endian machine, and I want it to be reasonably simple.

Any ideas?

Yes, I know and I wouldn't mind doing so.  But I didn't like the
dependencies on capturing, font libs, displaying on X11 etc.  IMO a
library for decoding should do exactly and only that.  It shouldn't
mess with where I get the images from or whether I want to display
them.

> zbarimg from zbar-tools was able to recognise [0], but not [1].

Ah, thanks for that hint.  I haven't found that tool before.  I tried
zbarimg on my images but (first) without success.  The images were
taken from a laptop screen and have probably to high a resolution,
showing too much detail of the screen's pixel structure instead of
solid white.  After converting to 320 x 200 pixels with ImageMagick
zbarimg found the QR codes in all images immediately.

I have put my example images on

http://thuermann.net/urs/qr 

The images eos-*.jpg on couldn't be decoded by zbarimg, but
small.eos-*.jpg were decoded successfully.

Thanks again.  That brings me close to my goal of automatically
correcting image time stamps, i.e. to compensate for the camera
clock's time drift.

Decoding QR

[Urs Thuermann]

I have searched the Debian repository for packages to decode QR codes
but haven't found anything suitable.

I often take photos of QR codes e.g. with my SLR camera, saving them
as JPG, that I want to decode later on my Debian machine.

I'd like to have a simple command line tool that I can call with a JPG
image file as argument and that searches the image for a QR code,
decodes it and prints the decoded text to stdout.

I have tried with libdecodeqr-examples and libdecodeqr0 but that seems
to be only able to decode the example JPG file from that package.  All
of my images from the SLR were not recognized.

I haven't installed libdecodeqr-dev since that seems to have
completely ill dependencies.  It wants to install 50 new libs of 64 MB
size, ranging from font libs, to firewire communication, computer
vision (openCV), lots of X11 libs, XML, regexps, and lots of other
stuff, that haven't much to do with QR codes.  I don't want to capture
from image devices, I don't want to display QR codes, I don't want any
GUI, X11.  Just decode QR codes in JPG files.

Isn't there anything in Debian for that purpose?

There is a Free monkeyaudio (= .ape) decoder in libavcodec/ffmpeg. I was

Prepend the line "begin-base64 644 -" to your encoded text. Append the 
line "" and pipe it through `uudecode'

Of course not. Base64 expects each message part to have a beginning and 
an end, and message parts cannot (AFAIK) be interleaved.



Help anyone?



I suspect that whatever software created the message is broken. Delete 
the spurious message boundary line and decode using munpack or another 
Base64 decoder. Since that is a private message to you, I won't ask you 
to send it to me, but I am curious...

This is gmail stupidity.  It's how Google sends html-enabled mail.
The only solution is to ask the sender to enable plain-text.

   Nope. munpack says nothing to decode. This mail came from a Groupwise
mail server. Normally this person does not send out
encoded mail ..I am beginning to wonder whether she did something to it by
accident.

A number of people have reported problems with wep and dhcp recently,
for different kinds of networking hardware. I do not remember any
"universal" solution being found.

Some suggestions:

1) Check with iwconfig if your wireless card associates with the access
point after you activate wep and set the key. If not, this might point
to some problems with your driver and the necessary crypto algorithms.

2) There are (at least) two versions of the dhcp-client package,
"dhcp-client" and "dhcp3-client". Maybe one of them works better than
the other.

3) If you have a package called "zeroconf" installed, you should
uninstall and purge it. It is known to mess up network configuration.

Basically the Quoted-Printable encoding is =XX where XX is the
ASCII hexidecimal representation of the character in $CHARSET.  Any
and every character in the charset can be encoded, however plain ASCII
characters do not need to be encoded, except for newlines if the
newline was added to prevent the line length limit from being
exceeded.  (for all the particulars read the RFC)

The issue with spaces is only in headers that allow MIME extensions.
The issue is not with the quoted-printable specification but with the
MIME specification.

I'd guess that your script and the mp32ogg script use different -q
values with oggenc.

Either way, transcoding from one lossy format (mp3) to another lossy
format (ogg vorbis) is going to give you bad quality.  I wouldn't bother
trying to "convert" mp3s into oggs.  Your best bet is to do all your new
encodings in ogg from the original source, and if you have mp3s for
which you don't have the original uncompressed source, just hang onto
the mp3s.

Of course, for certain audio files (speeches, etc.)  the sound quality
may not be that important, and the reduction in quality might not even
be noticeable.  But if you want decent quality music, fuggetaboutit.

good times,
Vineet

Best mp32ogg encoding/decoding

[Joris Huizer]

Hello everybody,

I've just found something weird:
I first tried to write a mp32ogg script using an
mp32wav script I found (sorry I
didn't write down the URL). This works great and the
output's smaller than mp3s

Then, today, I tried the mp32ogg at 
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/sound/mp32ogg.html,
assuming such a program should be much better than my
own silly script - but instead of that, it takes at
least as much time, and the output is much bigger

As an example:
mp3 file   : 3.4M
ogg file via script: 3.0M
ogg file via prog  : 4.2M

Anybody an idea why this is so?

 I just looked at info and yes, it does support MIME. It works
okay in that it calls metamail which may lanch another window to
display the text and push the files into the /tmp directory.

Metamail seems like the right tool for me to use from the command
line, though (thanks dman) but I have a hard time remembering the
command to un-do mime; I think "mimedecode" or "mi..."
something. There is a packaged entitled mimedecode but it just pushes
data to stdout as opposed to making a file with the right name.

Thank you everyone!

That was the only thing that gnus didn't do well for me.  At a time when I 
was having to deal with a lot of attachments -- often M$ -- I couldn't get

It seems, from your X-Mailer header, that you're using Gnus.  Doesn't it
do MIME?  Or is it the base64 encoding?

Anyway, to answer your question, metamail(1) is likely what you're
looking for.  Note that the input you supply to this command should have
the headers included, especially the Content-Type header.

Aww, ok (just look at the User-Agent header :-)).

I did, and the problem is gone. But I get errors on startup:


(1) (initialization/error) An error has occurred while loading ~/.emacs:

Symbol's value as variable is void: message-included-forward-headers


and when I do "M-x gnus":

(4) (image/warning) Replacing image converter pic->ppm

(5) (image/warning) Replacing image converter mag->ppm


The problem disappears when I remove the line

(load "mime-setup")

from .emacs, but unfortunately I have to "M-x mime/editor-mode" by
hand now. Any way to get back the former automatic loading?

If you use tm, you probably also use Gnus < 5.8.0, right? You
should upgrade.

For this reason, I usually use uudeview and just run it on
the whole mailbox containing the attachment(s). It finds
them automatically and you can choose which to decode.

Very rarely do you have to pull an individual attachment
out of the file.

Re: Decoding BinHex4.0

[Sebastian Canagaratna]

David:

   Just after posting the note I found that there was a package
   in main/otherofs called macutils. I used apt-get install macutils
   and it gave a file which I think is called hixbin. It insall
   the mime to use hexbin when it comes across The BinHex format and
   it seems to work, i.e., it writes it to a file. I was then able to
   look at it. These were word files so I was able to use word2x to
   convert them to text or latex.

Decoding MP3 to WAV

[Pavel Epifanov]

Dear All,

There are plenty of tools to encode WAV -> MP3.
I use bladeenc (just download and compile from its home).

Whats about back convertion (decoding). MP3-HOWTO only covers
encoding process if I am right. Is there a debiantized packages
already ?

zgv will do this without X. I suppose you could link it with a news reader
but I don't know about this. It certainly works from mutt for me.

For viewing pictures under svgalib there is the package zgv. It is similar
to xv which you could only use with X.

A good newsreader for the console is IMO slrn. To uudecode a message just
put the cursor on it and hit the key ":"
It will load the message and decode it. 
To decode multipart messages "tag" them all with the key "#" and the press
":"

decoding/viewing pictures

[ivan]

Hello again !

As I often download fractal images from the newsgroups I would like to find
a news reader which will auto-decode the encrypted graphics and auto-exec a
viewer programme ?

Can anyone recommend a good picture viewer - prefer svgalib based rather
than X based but any _good_ viewer is better than nothing ?

My inability to find this software is the only reason I have left to use
Win95 and, although I don't have a phobia about MS products, I would prefer
to use Debian consistently.  It's an absolute pain to have to re-boot just
because I want to look at pretty pictures and then re-boot to get some work
done (and, of course, I lose my dial-up connection with each re-boot !)

As always, any and all comments are welcome.

Ivan.

The Debian package you need is the mpack package found in the mail
section. The programs munpack and mpack, decode and encode base-64 encoded
files. This should do the job for you.

Luck,

munpack should do the trick. I used it earlier today to decode
a file someone sent me as four message/partial parts (argh Microsoft
mailer). "cat file1 file2 file3 file4 | munpack" worked nicely. The message
contained some text and a file.

Sorry to follow up to my own message - but mimedecode doesn't do what
I though it did.   I was thinking of uudeview from the uudeview package.

He's mailing his messages using MIME - which is typically used for mailing
attachments.  Some mailers (including Netscape 4) send out all their 
mail in MIME encoded form (unless told not to).

To decode the messages, the best bet is to use a mail program that 
understands MIME.  Failing that, you can use mimedecode (from the
mimedecode Debian package) to decode it.

decoding base64

[BecBauer]

Hi

I keep getting e-mail through Juno from my boyfriend who is on an aircraft
carrier.  The last time, I used uuencode.  This time it says base64.  Can you
tell my why they are coming to me encoded.  Also, is there an easy way for me
to decode this message.  The uuencode doesn't work.  Maybe it is just me, I
am not familiar with this stuff.

Thanks for your help
