you tube video are possible on the free runner. though not instantly...
Youtube is possible also without any transcoding... I can seee youtube
videos in my Freerunner without modifying the video and streaming it
directly from the web.
You only need to install mplayer from the official repositories. Then
for streaming directly the youtube video I use a php script I wrote long
time ago (when I discovered how to download the original quality video
format from YT, thing that now Google has blocked) [1], but you can use
also youtube-dl to get the real flv path.
Then do something like:
mplayer -vo xv -fs -vf framestep=2 \
http://3v1n0.net/youtube-full-dl/index.php?ytv=POiNqP4savIdownload=flv
It should stream well. In some videos, if you seen them in landscape
mode, it's better to use framestep=3.
A wrapper youtube-mplay script could be:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z $DISPLAY ]; then
echo Specify a DISPLAY
exit 1
fi
if [ -z $1 ]; then
echo Specify a youtube video ID
exit 1
else
ytv=$1
fi
xres=$(expr $(xrandr) : .*current \([0-9]\{3\}\))
if [ $xres = 640 ]; then
fstep=3;
else
fstep=2;
fi
mplayer -vo xv -fs -vf framestep=$fstep \
http://3v1n0.net/youtube-full-dl/?download=flvytv=$ytv;
Using that you'll have only to do youtube-mplay POiNqP4savI ;)
Unfortunately the flv standard format is the best that we can stream
on FR. Mp4 formats are too bad or too good, also for mplayer-glamo!

Mikko Rauhala rašė: Quoting Tim Dobson[EMAIL PROTECTED]: you tube video are possible on the free runner. though not instantly... See my earlier mail on Youtube offering mp4 versions of their videos. I still don't know if anyone's verified how balrog-kun's referenced glamo-accelerated mplayer plays them (or if the glamo output has received further finetuning). I am trying to play a 20 min short movie. Transcoding it from 640x352 WMA 170MB video according to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Video_Player#Playback_using_480x640_.2F_640x480 Resulting one I tried many sizes, ranging 50-150 in MegaBytes. But running with mplayer output.avi -sws 0 -nodouble -vo sdl -fs -framedrop [ -autosync 30 -vf scale -zoom -xy 640 -vf rotate=1 ] mplayer crashes Running with glamo mplayer (http://downloads.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/openmoko/mplayer-glamo.tar.bz2) with `-vo glamo' it writes out Badly interleaved AVI file detected - switching to -ni mode... And then I can see the video only after seeking, but it is incredibly slow. Strange, why is it badly interleaved, I have transcoded it with wiki's mencodersourcefile -otargetfile.avi -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 640 -af channels=1:0:0:1:0 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=libmp3lame:vcodec=h263p:autoaspect=1:vbitrate=300:abitrate=32 The best performance (~4 fps) I have achieved was with transcoding into the ~210x100 final video and running opkg installed non-glamo mplayer. Tried -vo fbdev (-vo sdl does not work), too. Also mplayer crashes were also occasional. I am launching a movie from an SD card. Maybe it may slow some things down, too. Has anyone gone any better than this, please share. -- sledge ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
