Yep, cheers. That's got it!

which "desktop" btw on the base image did you install ? the "size" could just be down to the window manager i guess. specify "-fs" and it will scale nicely to the screen.roobarb! wrote: Interestingly, with vaapi on and vaapi off, the video is automatically scaled to the correct dimensions to fit the screen. This doesn't happen on the base images - the scale remains 1:1 and only the central 800x480 pixels are displayed. Don't know if that helps at all, but thought I'd mention it all the same.
Must have been - there aren't enough changes in the SqueezePlay code to have caused it.BuZz wrote:roobarb: precise uses a conf.d to split the alsa conf up, so you need to disable this config to get sound on precise. shame the "pulse" compatibility is gone - was that a regression in port audio or something ?
Ah, I'm not using a desktop environment - just firing up X with xterm and using the dependencies from the mplayer package.BuZz wrote:which "desktop" btw on the base image did you install ? the "size" could just be down to the window manager i guess. specify "-fs" and it will scale nicely to the screen.roobarb! wrote: Interestingly, with vaapi on and vaapi off, the video is automatically scaled to the correct dimensions to fit the screen.

I just tested with my base image - just did "sudo apt-get install --no-install-depends lubuntu-desktop; sudo apt-get install mplayer" and mplayer worked ok with vaapi acceleration.
perhaps some library is missing - although the dependencies should take care of it (its possible something can be missed though.
Thanks, will do. Had to abandon attempts today, but will try again tomorrow.BuZz wrote:probably some mesa / dri stuff - check output of "vainfo" also.
I appreciate your effort and... the super fast response!BuZz wrote::/ ill remove a couple of modules from grub which could be problematic and send you a replacement to try

I've tried both the base and the ubuntu image.
I had no trouble booting previous versions... (they still work >> so it's not hardware)
Ok. I'll try it when i'll get home, and post the results here.BuZz wrote:response was quick but I may not have the build ready until later. in the meantime you can replace the grub.efi on the first partition with this one http://malus.exotica.org.uk/~buzz/joggler/grub.efi (which is the older one and I have just tested it works as a drop in)

Just spotted this, BuZz - to be honest, there's not that much demand from SqueezePlay that the throttling really becomes an issue. However, on all the kernel builds I do (with your patches!) I always set the trip point to 80 degrees and put a warning on the download page. I've run it like that on so many Jogglers for such long periods of time now that I'd be amazed if it ever caused a problem.BuZz wrote:what do you do about the joggler getting warm and slowing down or you dont have that problem running mostly squeezeplay ? just that the older releases didnt know about tweaking throttling thermal point etc - although they are probably changable in the same way as mine.
Just had a try of vainfo. Got this for my troubles:BuZz wrote:probably some mesa / dri stuff - check output of "vainfo" also.
