Just wanted to inform you guys that I found out why playtime display isn't showing correctly on some videos. It's because malloc used the absolute correct way of calculating the fps rate from the libavcodec headers. These seem to be wrong for some encodings however. I'll change the code so it will calculate frametime like I did in the file list, by using the information of the pmp container. So as long as the container information is correct, this bug should then be fixed.

I also fixed the timezone bug and am currently tracking some memory leaks I found. So wait up for a bugfix release soon :)

@alexmae:
I'm thinking about complete skinning control for the final version, even though I'm not sure on this yet. However, even if not, it will definitely have transparency for the filelist (I think you mean the background to be visible behind the fonts?), as I'll anyway have to add a graphical font in some way to be more flexible with the placement and also have different sizes.

Hye boys and girl !

I would like to know if you have think to add to the PMP MOD : an inside PSP turnOff/turnOn "edit: sleep" capabilities... because actually, we have to exit PMP Mod to turnOff the PSP... ?

Anyway, Great MOD !

No, you can turn off your PSP anywhere, anytime. It's the sleep function you're reffering to. When you push the power button quickly upwards it will not turn off, you'll have to hold it for several seconds for a complete power off. But it seems fewer and fewer people know about this, making it especially annoying when somebody starts screaming that their PSP has been bricked when all they have to do is hold the power button up for about 10 seconds. And people suggest too often that you pop out the battery, which is completely unnecessary in any situation.

But I agree, it would be nice to be able to put it to sleep and return to PMP, but it's not necessary.

Hi,
there seems to be major advancement with official PMPMod 1.02.
I have encoded the FFVII PS3 tech demo from DVD source to PMP using Miemt tool.
When played on small mods M4.01 , there are huge stuttering of the sound during passages with high bitrate for video.
But with 1.02, NO MORE SKIPPING! It plays perfectly now.
And did i mention that it's in 29.9 FPS with bitrate 850!

I hope that the core of 1.02 can go into M4.02 without the skipping sound.
If need be, i can post my ffvii PMP, just le me know ;)

Later,

Alcahest

Raphael: When the external power is unplugged, the remaining battery time display flashes to some weird "-445634" number then corrects itself after 1 or 2 sec.

and sure u know 1.02 is out. :D

Here is the waited for malloc MOD+GUI version of jonnys latest 1.02 PMPMOD.
This is version PMPMOD M4.02g3, thus contains all mods from mallocs M4 plus a bugfixed g3 GUI version with these fixes:

- Timezone bug fixed, time is now displayed correctly in file list
- Battery Time display bug after unplugging the power cable fixed
- Playtime display bug with some videos in infobar fixed (Silent Hill Trailer of jo2k)
- Fixed malloc_64 bug not allowing some videos to play on GUI version
- Fixed 0-size POS file creation bug
- Fixed color display bug when exchanging mallocs infobar interface with a non greyscale version
- increased responsiveness of the filelist, but lowered responsiveness of the triangle button for playlist add/remove because it was too easily double triggered
- Added a counter for number of playlist items

Thanks to malloc for merging my M4g2 code with jonnys 1.02 :) so I could concentrate on the actual fixes.

Source

Enjoy :)

@csuper:
I'll try to find a way to go into sleep mode, but I have no idea yet how to do this. It's on my todo for next version :)

@Raphael:

I posted this @pspupdates:

There's something wrong with the time display, my time is 23:51 (24hr clock, daylight saving time), and in PMPmod I get -0:51.

I'm using your latest build (M4g3).

@argandona:
That's weird. Is this wrong time showing only in file list or in file list and infobar while playing a video?

psp360 · Joined: 21 Aug 2005 Posts: 25

@Raphael

thanks for all the hard work.

argandona · Joined: 12 Dec 2005 Posts: 19

Only in filelist, infobar is fine.

jo2k · Joined: 21 Jan 2006 Posts: 17

Raphael: what argandona means is the time zone bug is YET to be fixed - mine says -0:47AM while it's actually 7:47PM

Raphael · Joined: 17 Jan 2006 Posts: 646 Location: Germany

Ok, I reuploaded a fixed version. Please tell me if the time is now correct.
Thanks for the fast report guys :)

argandona · Joined: 12 Dec 2005 Posts: 19

It worked, the time now displays correctly.

Good job!

thanx alot for the new version raphael.

I just tested it,and here are my opinions/suggestions:

-Sensitivity on the triangle could be lowered even more i think,cause it still checks/unchecks fast some times.

-Scrolling files is really fast,i suggest we use the dpad to browse slowly and the stick to navigate at the current speed in order to move faster.

-Arranging place in playlist (1/3,2/3,3/3) is way to fast,and i really mean way too fast,in order to change the order to 1/n you must press the L/R trigger so little that you don't even leave a fingerprint for the csi to lift.

Great work malloc, Raphael and argandona, i just have one query though, for some reason when i set the brightness and volume, it doe'snt save them as when i reboot the psp it goes back to default settings, is there any way to save these settings? I am using the current build v1.02 (M4g3).

Edit: Nevermind, i just realised it stores the settings to the particular video, sweet.

Great Work Guys!

Great work Raphael! Actually I have a request from you, actually a small request.. I have lots of Music Videos, (probably others too!) and your playlist feature is a great help. However, my request is can you restart every videos under playlist? coz it doesnt look cool when you are playing videos halfway already... you know what i mean, that POS file that are generated and read even under playlist.. I think that the POS file is necessasry only in playing one file at a time.. you wouldnt want playlisting a 2hr movie would you? XD.
If it is much work.. just 4get it XD

Raphael · Joined: 17 Jan 2006 Posts: 646 Location: Germany

It's already possible, just press O button to start playblack instead of X, and all POS files will be ignored and the movie(s) started from the beginning :) (However, new POS files will be written when you stop a movie)

This is a great mod Raphael!

I have one problem though. I get this message after playing a bunch of videos:

The above is not implimented. I think i would be the ideal build but its not done yet and I believe is being worked on.
