      Cross compiling ffmpeg

      Thank you for the information I needed. My understanding is that several libraries are non-standard on the box. So I needed to confirm that the bundle had the most up to date package … I did not want to do something about llrint(f) if there was already an on-box solution. I believe...

      Cross compiling ffmpeg

      Thanks for the information, but I am now more confused. I started with a “clean box” (purchased as “spares or repair”, previously unused 2T pipeline drive fitted, custom firmware from memory stick, not yet loaded with family video archive). I put in the gcc bundle (see attachment...

      Cross compiling ffmpeg

      As you can see from attachment putty.txt, I have successfully built a static version of ffmpeg 4.4 as I need the libraries for Migrate Vn 0.9 (all about adding transcoding subtitles : including non-graphical forms). Slightly off topic : I offered my DVD language metadata enhancements to ffmpeg...

      Cross compiling (anything) from Debian Wheezy to the HDR

      At the time of writing debian 11’s freeze was a few days ago. This means it is in testing prior to release so is still “flaky”. I have installed the 64 and 32 bit versions on a VirtualBox virtual machine where a timeout returns control to the login, however, increasing the physical memory...

      Migrate (to HDR FOX-T2)

      Vn 0.8 broke with the kernel update between debian 10.3.0 and 10.4.0 but nobody, other than my family, noticed. It complained about a security problem tidying up the memory after the core processing had completed successfully. Out of habit, I had written the memory management the way m$...

      Cross compiling (anything) from Debian Wheezy to the HDR

      If you read the references above in this thread, there is a box native compiler (this community) and a cross-compilation toolset (OEM) available. For almost all situations these will satisfy your needs/wants. You only need to read on if you are insane(?) enough to still want to cross-compile...

      Telnet host disconnect

      I do not wish to be deliberately annoying. I have checked: page file, thrashing and allocating memory are now considered more “politically correct” (technically correct) than swap file, threshing and creating memory. /df’s instructions allowed me to recover my box. The default size is what I...

      Telnet host disconnect

      When you build ffmpeg, you also get ffmpeg_g, making it possible to look at the internals. In the initial development of my plugin, the memory usage seemed excessive i.e. libavcodec was creating memory as though it was going out of fashion. I set ffmpeg_g to do the same re-coding task and it...

      Telnet host disconnect

      Generic linux got me to the kernel is compiled “no way out” (as expected for an embedded system) and softdog (the default linux watchdog) is not running. Occam's razor left me with only things that the kernel detects itself as the reason for my crash. I prototyped a load monitor for these...

      Telnet host disconnect

      I was looking at the post to apologise to BlackHole for confusing him. The watchdog is a generic linux problem so should not be on this forum as it is not custom firmware specific. Apparently I need to start by pulling config.gz (usually in /proc) … The first Humax related Broadcom document I...

      Telnet host disconnect

      Status update :- Black Hole’s suggestion of abduco allowed me to get to the root of my original problem. It let stuff run longer so I could determine that I was interfering with normal operation. Once I had the “doh” moment of “don’t think pc, think embedded”, I made my code “nice”r (as per the...

      Telnet host disconnect

      The story so far :- I am experimenting with cross compiled programs for the Humax. I used telnet to have a “poke around” and saw there was a complex ecosystem so have stuck to static programs. I have uploaded to “My Photo” (where else do you put snapshots ?) and had no problem with simple...

      Migrate (to HDR FOX-T2)

      I would like to thank Reino Wijnsma for his help and support when using his ffmpeg build helper script for an xp compatible version of ffmpeg. This allows me to generate an xp compatible version of ffmpeg’s avutil library i.e. the ability to execute ffmpeg processing from a plugin. Without this...

      Migrate (to HDR FOX-T2)

      Automated release testing has (finally) passed so I can post this. The full source is too big to attach so the extract should be enough to see if you are interested. “New in Migrate Vn0.8” is best describer by misquoting the AV2HDR-T2 description “… is not a video converter (i.e. you can use...

      VCDImageExtract

      More people have know what betamax is than vcd. If you don’t know what vcd is then there is no point in you reading any further. If you do know what a vcd is then your first thought will be “but there is … freeware tool that already does this”. I have tried several and if your CD does not...

      Migrate (to HDR FOX-T2)

      BlackHole - The honest answer is I don’t know. I have read the Microsoft terms and conditions 3 times now and I can’t find any numbers to work it out. The .7z is 10,864Kb and the .zip is 30,464 so 3 times as many people can download the .7z!

      Migrate (to HDR FOX-T2)

      The strict answer to Black Hole’s question on 2 February 2020 16:43 is, that at Vn 0.6 and earlier, the source requires x86 32 bit ecosystem to compile to intended function. Vn 0.6.1 (attached) onwards requires a compiler configured with int as 32 bits or greater. Hopefully this will /df as...
