1) I've discovered why I was having trouble with the DIVX5 file mentioned earlier. It's not because of the format, rather it was due to the non divisibility by 16 of the source width resolution. Is this a firm limitation of spu scaling? 2) After more tests in runlevel 3, I've mitigated the flickerin...

It still flickers outside of X. I did another test in Runlevel 3: Playback of a 4:3 aspect ratio mpeg. mplayer -vo ps3 file.mpeg It starts like any other file, centred on screen at its original non-scaled resolution. The rest of the screen retains whatever was on it before, except it now flickers. W...

I don't think you even need sudo to chance the videomode.

Here are my results so far: 1) Playback works for some files. I tested mpeg, xvid and divx5: The divx did not work and yielded this: vo_ps3:init_spu_medialib: Started spu-medialib's spu_yuv2argb_scaler runing spu_yuv2argb_scaler: SRC width 620,DST width 620 ??% ??% ??,?% 0 0 ...

sorry, spu_print.h works. It was just a bad svn update.

Just ssh'ed and updated spu-medialib from work. Looks like it is working. I will verify once I get home.

good work unsolo & team.

unsolo, Did you look at the error message that I posted when I compiled as 64bit? It's a few posts up. darkshadow, This is my experience so far as to 32/64bit. By default, Mplayer's configure will try to compile everything as 32bit. If you want it to detect the `ps3` option, then libspe2, libspu-med...

There is still an error:

spu_utils/spu_print.h:55: error: expected identifier or '(' before '<<' token

Hi Unsolo,

So I went back to a 32bit compilation to test out -vo ps3 outside of gnome. Still doesn't work.

Hi Unsolo,

darkshadow was probably referring to your earlier post on this very thread.

Hi Unsolo, I've recompiled mplayer and the ps3 dependencies in 64-bit. Once again same problem: blank screen, no audio. Mplayer does work with fbdev. I don't have too many other libraries (x11, etc), but I think the problem lies with the -vo ps3 option. Here are my results from an ssh connection: MP...

I think that libps3lib.a is a typo in unsolo's earlier post. It was probably meant to be libps3fb.a .

Here is the output from mplayer -vo ps3 using 32bit compiled libraries accessed via ssh. MPlayer dev-SVN-r24734-4.1.1 &#40;C&#41; 2000-2007 MPlayer Team AltiVec found CPU&#58; PowerPC Playing some-file.avi. AVI file format detected. &#91;aviheader&#93; Video stream found, -vid 0 ...

So I've compiled the necessary files in 32-bit form; No error messages. However, mplayer doesn't work with -vo ps3 (works with x11). The screen goes black, there's no audio and I can't cancel the program. The only option is to reset gnome. This occurs for ps3videomodes 1, 3 and 11 (my only attempts)...

Or I could just compile libspe2, libps3fb and libspu-medialib as 32 bit files.

That would seem much simpler.

So this is going to be harder than I thought. I've recompiled libps3fb as a 64-bit library, similar to libspu-medialib and libspe2. Unfortunately most of my system library functions are 32-bit. When I `configure` mplayer with the 64-bit compiler option, it now recognizes the PS3 option but many othe...

I've installed libspe2, libspu-medialib and libps3fb. The first two were placed in /usr/lib64 and the last was placed in /usr/local/lib. No errors when compiling all three. So far so good. The problem is with Mplayer, where `configure` refused to validate the PS3 option. Forcing the option leads to ...

I was having trouble compiling spu_yuvscaler because of spu_print.h errors. Specifically, errors due to the printintvec and printshortvec functions of the type: "error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'vector'" I modified the vector type in both functions by adding 'unsigne...

Hi,

What an exciting development! I am eager to give spu-medialib a shot. I've installed libps3fb and libspe2 on my yellow dog linux 5.02 installation but I'm not sure where to get spu-elf-gcc from. Googling it doesn't seem to yield many hits.

much obliged.
