Raspberry Pi 3 Image

[nitrogen_widget]

I can try to compile ffmpeg but it's been done away with in jessie RPI.
avconf replaced it.

ok.
found more info & having some depends issues with compiling the ffmpeg depends on jessie but I think I can get it to work.


Edit: 5 hrs and counting on just one part of ffmpeg compile with all 4 cores on rpi3.
Can't tell if it stalled or its just thinking.
CPU is doing something then spikes then drops.

May use the vmare image on my mainpc to get this compiled this week.

I ended up compiling the Attract.exe from sources.

It wasn't horrible.

[bionictoothpick]

I'm being lazy and waiting for an OSMC/AttractMode image...

However, as soon as I finish my current project I might have to venture into it myself.

Ah, nitro...

Remember, the days before there was a wiki guide? Fun times... I made the mistake of compiling retropie and all the emulators, I swore that I would never do that again, LOL...

every so often I accidentally hit that menu option & end up just killing the process.

Well compiling ffmpeg & all it's dependencies is turning out to be fun.
So many odball things needed to be installed because of dietpi being so lean.
probably should of written those down.....

Got all the way through to actual ffmpeg & its telling me the first depend I compiled correctly isn't installed.
I thought on the way to work that maybe I needed to reboot. LOL!

Also, my powersupply is not up to snuff despite being 2.5a.
when I try to compile with more than one core stuff breaks and the make command fails.
figured it out when I saw the rainbow square come up in the corner of the screen.
Ordered an official wallwort with my second rpi3.

but i'm close to hardware accelerated ffmpeg binaries.

[nitrogen_widget]

quick update.
no ffmpeg hardware acceleration yet.

I compiled with what I thought was the proper mmal flag.
no go.

I installed the .deb package that was compiled with mmal support & still seeing 70-90% cpu when watching 1080p videos.
though I had to force it because it was a wheezy .deb and the libav libraries are not named the same in jessie.

All the guides are for wheezy not jessie which no longer has ffmpeg.
jessie is libav now.
dietpi wheezy isn't updated for rpi3 so i've kind of got a chicken/egg situation here.

however omxplayer plays hd videos with 4-5% cpu.
anychance we can make that the default video player for AM?

Here is a guide for installing ffmpeg on Jessie, aka ver 8

The google-fu is strong with this one.

Looks like -enable mmal flag is allready set in the config file.
sweet.

My new power adapter should be in today so i will be able to compile with all 4 cores tonight!

[omegaman]

Hey, I need someone to be my "Huck". Why do it yourself when someone else can do it for you. :p

Speaking of power adapter, my new pi-drive should be in today as well. It's been on back-order for weeks. Are you using a usb powered hub to offset some load?

[nitrogen_widget]

I do have a powered hub but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
That hub would actually power my old rpi1.

It helped me with my rpi2 also when i didn't have a 2 amp phone charger but doesn't seem to touch the rpi3.

[nitrogen_widget]

\fail.

grabbed a new card and started from scratch.
I'm pretty sure I boinked my install pertaining to ffmpeg.

let dietpi update over night.
got up this morning to start compiling ffmpeg......raspbian mirror is down so couldn't update the system. 

oh well, this weekend I guess.

and how's the engine swap in your car going?

and how's the engine swap in your car going?

that was done 2 weeks ago.
drove it for a whole day then is crapped out.
spent a week tracking down a short & bad sensors.
couldn't get it to keep running.

took it to a mechanic this week he found the EVAC had a small leak & the camshaft sensor was bad.
so now i'm just going to drive it around this weekend to clear the errors out of the computer so I can get it inspected.

ehhhh... those computerised cars
I remember the old days when I could fix my '73 VW beetle with some simple tools, and I was fine tuning carburetor with screwdriver until it "sounded" good.

I remember those days as well.
Nothing but cars from the 70's while in the late 80's & early 90's.
Then fuel injection happened.
