Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2004 13:32:12 +0100 (MET) Hi folks, I'm approaching the finish line with my video+audio playback plugin. It was a lot of work, way more than last time, where I was just pumping data to the display as fast as possible. The new plugin is not in cvs yet because it still lacks a feature which the old one had, namely seeking (FF/FR). Tell me if you still want it instead. The new one can only play from the start, pause and stop. But it has some new features: - audio (obviously), including volume control on up/down button - display update done in dedicated timer interrupt, very steady - the backlight stays on - prefetching in mp3 buffer allows to power down the disk (8MB helps a lot, else it spins up quite frequently, video has ~480kbit/s, audio goes ontop) I have a to-be-released command line tool, which multiplexes a "classical" .rvf file together with a .mp3 (or .mp2) file into a new, interleaved .rvf file format. So it's an additional step to add audio. You can try the A/V player with the files from here: http://rockbox.haxx.se/newvid/ The plugin there requires today's daily build. Exchange the standard "video.rock" plugin with one from above, either for standard 2 MB or 8 if you upgraded. Rename the new one to video.rock again. There are 2 video clips: the famous Doom3 trailer now with sound (original material is mono, with some distortion, boo), and a futurama episode, with apologies to Fox TV. The latter is quite large, I suggest you try Doom first, let's not do a DDoS on haxx.se. ;) Video is encoded with 67 fps, so you get best visual results if your LCD is close to that, see my fps test tool and survey. Anybody challenged to write a user-friendly AVI/MPEG/DVD to rvf converter?
