Hi,

I have quite an old PC, an Athlon XP-M 2500. It seems that this is just too slow for live encoding AVC, the CPU goes to 100% and then the transmission gets interrupted. (When streaming just a black image it's already at 30% CPU usage, when streaming slowly changing video it goes to 80%-90%, and there'a a huge delay of maybe 5-10 seconds.)
Is this just normal for the live server, or should it think of reinstalling the PC?

My PSP is running DarkAlex firmware 3.03 OE-C, Wifi with WPA-PSK (AES), with PMPVLC009_OE_Rev4-test-binaries. The PC is using the following settings for vlc (vlc-0.8.6a-psp-x264-wait-win32):

Thx for the feedback!

My PC is an AMD XP2400 with 768MB RAM and I'm also at about 90-100%. However, streamquality is still excellent and I can even do something else on the PC.

I noticed Intel CPUs are not so resource hungry with AVC. They're bewtween 40-60% load.

OK dev peeps, Ive got an error that ive not seen in all 18 pages.

Took me quite a while to get here, so it's possible (IE likely) that it is something I have done.

I have 3.40 OE , PMPVLC009_OE_Rev4-test-binaries, vlc-0.8.6a-psp-x264-wait-win32, and have also tried with
vlc-0.8.5-psp-x264-win32.

I have the binaries within GAME340, kernel mode 3.40.
my WLAN is WPA-TKIP

The PSP Internet browser works, and when it inits the only configured connection I CAN ping teh IP of the PSP(192.168.2.3) from the PC running vlc(192.168.1.3).

When i launch PMPVLC, I hit R, get connects through to stage 6of4, and I get Network ON, ip shown on the left - the same one i could ping when connected thru the XMB. Th wifi light also blinks then stays on while it connects - looks valid. BUT I can NOT ping the PSP's IP from the PC.

The only thing I think it might be is subnetting ?

routing with other apps works fine - I have a router on 192.168.1.1, also listening on 192.168.2.1, so it is the default gateway for both the PSP and PC networks.

Thanks in advance for any advice...really want this app to work, looks amazing.

Thanx for the response....

OK, no DHCP, I have edited ini and tested that con 1 is my only configured link. (I get a WIFIHinit error in PMPVLC if I set the con to anything other than 1)

IP of PSP
192.168.2.3
255.255.255.240

IP of wireless PC
192.168.2.4
255.255.255.240

IP of access point
192.168.2.2
255.255.255.240

IP of router
192.168.2.1
255.255.255.240
and
192.168.1.1
255.255.255.240

IP of PC running vlc
192.168.1.3
255.255.255.240

all the gateways are set to
192.168.x.1

the wireless PC and the PSP XMB can browse the web through the router, and I can ping ithem both from LAN PC - I can also use the XMB+PC browsers to access ports 8080 and 1234 on the LAN PC, where VLC responds.

Not got time atm to test - am off to the Isle of Mull for a week's holiday

w00t
altho it will prob pi55 down with rain the whole time, so im taking GTA LCS, hot PXL, and a need for speed game, as i can get them all to fit on a 2 gig stick. Am without laptop atm :(

will do further testing when I get back, bit tricky to do as the AP has only one ethernet connection, and my router is a firebox - so I have my wireless in the DMZ, with specific rules to allow traffic between the secure WLAN, the LAN, and the untrusted Internet (naughty internet, naughty) lol

hmmm saying that, I could put the VLC server on the wireless PC, then there would be no need for subnet malarkey..

OK will let you know how it goes, and thanks to heinbloed, Jocky, and the rest of the great minds in this thread..

cheers

Thanks!

@thecmac: It�s all right, but if there is a firewall or filter on your router it might be a problem. Couldn't you run vlc on your wireless pc? It will eliminate any possible risk.

The pmp.ini mentiones that:
------
# use_avc_hw is heavily experimental !!
# if set to 1 then automatically vid_codec = h264, aud_codec = mp3, and container = ts are set
# your pmp.ini settings are then superseded
use_avc_hw = 1;
-------

Is it possible to set "use_avc_hw=1" to play a .mp4 file(avc+aac) in memory stick? I tried and the corrent PMP VLC 009 prompted an error message "AVC error: sceMpegAvcDecode failed".

Thanks!

Where can I get the "PMPVLC009Rev2-source.zip"? I want to get it because Rev4 does not work for my psp 1.5 while Rev2 work well. So I want to diff the source code between Ret2 and Ret4 and try to fix it.

Jocky, is there a new version coming that will implement non AVC video on WPA (OE) systems ?

jockyw2001 · Joined: 29 Sep 2005 Posts: 339

Not in the very near future, unless I solve some problems which were introduced since 3.40oe

I'm currently focused to get mp3/aac decoding to work with dsp and I want to add protocol support for rtsp and multicast (igmp)

W00fer · Joined: 13 Apr 2007 Posts: 40

And on 3.10 OE ? DickyDick1969 has the same problems you have with his pimpstreamer on 3.40OE, but on 3.10 OE it works.

It might be a temporary solution..., thanks !

jockyw2001 · Joined: 29 Sep 2005 Posts: 339

Yeah, I know that. I actually never had time to properly test things, despite my promise ... We'll see, tons of other things to do first.

Ok Jocky, thanks for all of your spare time.

Can anybody test that AVC video from VLC player and TVU is working on 3.x OE WPA ?

I check the code and find that it uses libcurl. (PMPVLC009-rev2\ffplay_resample\Makefile Line 29 uses "-lcurl")
But the PSPSDK does not include libcurl. How to build libcurl for PSP? I know I can not "tar -xzf curl-7.16.4.tar.gz" and "./configure; make install" because it will compile x86 libcurl, not PSP libcurl.

Any comments?

Jocky if you have a little time, could you release a build of VLC version v0.8.6c with support for AVC hardware decoding?
Thanks,

Hello, first of all I've to say:

@jockyw2001 and mojojojo: Great job :)

This app looks great, my problem is I have a Mac so I haven't been able to test it yet, and I was wondering if someone could port (cross-compile) it to Mac...

Thanks

and cheers for this awesome work
