[oi-dev] libjpeg-turbo and VLC

Tue Dec 22 02:18:13 UTC 2015

Hi,

I performed some additional tests and they went fine decoding any video from "Vidéo for Everybody" test page but performance was underneath firefox (framerate, slugish video).
I couldn't play a dvd due to rights and access to DVD drive through virtualbox.

I really need to test on hardware for DVD and performance. I'll see that after new years day.
It looks very promising to me.

Best regards.
Ben

Hi,
I'm kind of digging out this but as I'm slow to do things.
I did a compile of vlc out of the oi-userland component you made and it compiled fine.

I tried a few video and old stuff MPEG, mp3,.. are fine.
Regarding MP4 (x264) I have issues (XCB messages in console) but I'm not sure how much the "run in vbox" situation is responsible from that.
I'll try more tests with DVDs next week.
After end of year break, I'll be able to test based on hardware rather than virtual machine.

Like I said, I amazed how you guys caught back on those key softwares.

Best regards.
Ben

Hello, 

- navigator 

Firefox 43 beta is available on Hipster: http://www.openindiana.org/2015/11/30/firefox-43b/ 

- office suite 

LibreOffice available from SFE: sfe.opencsw.org 

- multimedia player 

VLC 2.2.1 soon I promise ;) 

I think we cover nearly 80% of generic desktop computer needs. 

So we are almost good ? ;) 

I'll try my best to contribute, the very few hours per week I got have been diverted by a SGI Octane lately, I have to focus on tiny things I can achieve. 

Oh an Octane, nice :) I just have Indies and O2s, not super beefy. 

I submitted a PR for IJG's libjpeg: 

https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/1584 

but I am confused.. I do not know what it is the best option... 

Best regards, 

Aurelien 

Best regards

Hi, 
maybe are you missing the hipster-encumbered repository ? 

http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-encumbered/en/index.shtml 

Some libs are still missing (like live55) but they are only optional. 

The only showstopper is that VLC uses libjpeg-turbo's jpeg_mem_src so I prepared several libjpeg components to provide IJG's and the Turbo implementations in separate subdirectory. 

If you have the time, you can contribute the missing optional libraries listed here: 

http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Multimedia 

After adding libjpeg-turbo with 6b compliance, VLC 2.2.1 compile out of the box provided that you add some flags: 

CFLAGS=" -DLUA_COMPAT_ALL=1 -DGL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 " 

The first is to enable backward compatibility mode with Lua 5.1, but I think our 5.2 needs recompile with the backward compatibility flag. 

The second is to address a compilation error. 

The last bits are to make sure that the macros is declared in a consistent way but I am not sure that is the case as some warnings still show up. 

If you have more time than I have, I can push my VLC branch so that you can finish up the component and test with the optional libraries. 

But before we can add VLC to oi-userland/encumbered, I need to push the libjpeg components in any case. 
Best regards

Hi Aurélien, 

This is great news. 
I tried myself and my results are way less optimistic than yours. 
How did you compiled the libraries necessary for VLC ? 
After installing all I could from repo, I'm still left to compile the following : 
a52 bluray caca chromaprint dca dvbpsi dvdcss dvdnav dvdread faad2 \ 
ffmpeg fluid gme goom gsm jpeg kate \ 
lame libmpeg2 live555 mad matroska modplug mpcdec nettle \ 
postproc shout sidplay2 taglib twolame upnp vncserver vpx x264 x265 zvbi 

I know I can live without the blueray support even if it would be nice to have but DVD/x264 seem to me quite important. 

Did you compile those ? Did you got them from SFE ? 

Best regards. 
Ben

Hello, 
this afternoon I compiled VLC 2.2.1 quick and dirty (no patching involved \o/) for use on my (work-)workstation. This was made easier thanks to: 

- update of gnu-gettext 0.19.6 by Alexander [1] 
- support of strerror_l to illumos [2] 

The only issue was that our libjpeg6b is quite old and not compatible with VLC, installing libjpeg-turbo (which is libjpeg8 compliant) solved the problem. 

Is it realistic to consider modifiying the libjpeg component and use libjpeg-turbo with v8 compatility as drop-in replacement ? The performance difference is quite impressive. 

VLC 2.2.1 just works fine, the only issue related to loading the Lua plugin is not OI specific and to be fixed upstream. 
Best regards
