Kinda disappointing that a lot of embedded stuff isn't up to the point of useful h.264 decoding. I suppose they're made with current PCs in mind, where handhelds are for the most part, along the lines of 8-10 year old computers, but you'd think something as expensive as an iphone would have a...

Any reason the default is 16 bit? It seems to support 24/32 bit mode. RAM saving measure? I'd say try changing the video mode to 32 bit mode if you can and see what happens. Not exactly sure how to go about this on the pandora but I know it can because the gamma utility let's you choose 16...

Could be networkmanager. I figure there'd be something for connecting to a wireless network in the other WMs, but I haven't used anything other than xfce and no X at all. Either way I use wpa_supplicant directly and a small shell script to set things up, like power save/rate tweaks and IP and...

Not sure what you mean by this. Overclocking is literally, directly providing more cpu clock cycles per second. Beyond that, you need to make ways to waste less cpu time like eliminating X. The biggest gains related to this seem to be related to video acceleration, though. I don't imagine...

I messed with debian on an SD card a few months ago. Much less smooth than you people are experiencing, I had a hell of a time because debootstrap didn't quite work, but I coaxed the system in to booting up and finished installing packages manually, as well as getting wireless (not with built...

Also, capturing it would still possibly leave you having to encode the incoming video in some way. The software may come with some such feature that has some preset encoding options, but most of the advice in this thread is about getting optimal quality as well as playback performance on the...

Somehow sounds panned to the center are being canceled out. You hear the rings because they alternate panning left and right. So yeah, sounds like something is broken but I can't really guess what other than likely something screwed up in the way stuff is connected, maybe something touching...

It would help if it's open source. I haven't been following the project so I have no idea where it is at the moment, though. If it's released, someone may be able to just get the source code and work at porting it, or maybe email the creator and ask permission to make a pandora port...

If it's standard definition, gnome-mplayer should play it. Try opening it from within the player rather than the file browser. If it doesn't play in that, try it in mplayer from the command line and post the output. Could be some bizarre abnormality with what your device is outputting that...

You can get some idea of the nature of the problem if you go in to the gamma tool. Make sure to set the mode in it to 24 bit. Some banding is normal in the 16 bit mode.

Hey, I'm just paulguy from the other forums. Finally moved over to here because those forums have become a ghost town.

I think most PNDs would break on a new [e]glibc or SDL and maybe GTK+, but I don't think those change much. Mostly depends on how strict the versions things require, I guess. Kernel, believe it or not, probably won't break too much stuff as far as PNDs go. Most things don't depend on a...

I heard from someone that miro needs flash, and some other funky dependencies. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also, it seems like it'd have heavier system requirements than the video players we have and may be too slow for most video.

Modern .mov is h.264 and aac for the most part. Pretty common stuff we know works under most circumstances, given reasonable resolution and stuff.

Haven't we already determined that USB VGA/video out devices will be too slow and processor intensive to be useful for moderately heavy video or emulation? If not, I would like to hear from someone with some experience with these and someone to test it on their pandora.

This sounds more like something misconfigured or something than just being slow, so switching it to use OSS probably won't change much, but it's worth doing anyway.

Basically the idea I've thought of being best, though people on IRC seemed to mostly shoot it down, because they want to be able to swap cards from both slots, or something.

So I made this script that downloads videos from a certain site, for use on my desktop, and thought maybe it could be useful for people using a Pandora. It would also be interesting if other people could provide links or information on other such programs (I'd rather leave websites like keepvid...

I don't think he's referring to the US. He may be referring to the place where certain other handhelds are made, or the other place where most everything is manufactured. But I don't think Craig intended that. English people are just really nationalistic, I've noticed.

Special software, as well, and if we need 8MB of cache, which amounts to several seconds of video, for it to not get delayed, there might be some trouble with streaming with 0 latency. Maybe with wifi power management off and wifi drivers that don't suck, it'd work. If you have a game's data...
